Bite-Sized Movie Reviews - Wonder Woman

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD . . . You’ve been warned!

Well DC/WB, you did it. No one thought you could do it (including me). But you did it! You finally produced a superhero movie that wasn't riddled with plot holes and didn't misrepresent the core of the characters. AND you did it using a strong female protagonist. Nicely done!

Wonder Woman is a treat of a movie. From the character's origin to her introduction into the 'real world', from Gadot and Pine's on-screen chemistry, to the beautiful action sequences, often underscored by that most epic of superhero theme tunes (you know the one), Wonder Woman represents a DC superhero movie done right.

​Patty Jenkins has given DC something that they can proudly parade in front of Marvel, and while the latter has far more wins in terms of cinematic extended universe and sheer consistency of quality, DC has done something Marvel has not. They let a female superhero lead her own movie. While we know Ms. Marvel is coming one of these years, Marvel has treaded lightly when it comes to females in their movies, even giving Black Widow a bit of a hard time and degrading her character ala Civil War. We see no such degradation in Wonder Woman and it wins on multiple levels. But were there any negatives?
The ‘love’ story at the centre of the plot is represented more by self-sacrifice than by romantic relationship so it’s easy to overlook the absence of romantic development. ​
