Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Jordan%20 W — 07 Jun 2017
The tale of Wonder Woman's origin, training, and the philosophy of the Amazons is very interesting to those of us who immersed ourselves in the myths of the gods. Even Shakespeare used them in his plays, like "Twelfth Night", and references to them are in many, many novels.
Statues of Zeus abound in palaces and museums everywhere. Hopefully young people who see this film will be inspired to read about them and widen their literary horizons. That said, of course this is a mythic tale, but what a heroic one! Casting is simply perfect.
Premises are intelligent. Action is unbelievably good! There's humor, but a lot of pathos. Mistakes are made, but humans are portrayed sympathetically. Steve Trevor is a definite hero and worthy of Wonder Woman's love and respect.
The horror of war is fully shown, and probably children will find it too violent. Definitely not for the under-10s. Women are portrayed with respect for their abilities and sensibilities. All in all, a must-see movie for everyone who has ever read a DC comic.
And everyone else, too.
