Wonder Woman blazes across the box office today, delivering a super hero movie that audiences – movie goers and comic book fans alike – have been waiting for. Wonder Woman is dazzling, alternately fierce and funny and entirely entertaining.
Gal Gadot is believable and brilliant as her character grows from idealistic to fiercely inspired as she sees the horrors of the inhumanities of man. Wonder Woman fights the war on several fronts – deflecting the chauvinism of the era as elegantly and effectively as she deflects bullets. She imbues the character of Diana, warrior and princess, with the Amazon ideals of grace, power, wisdom and yes, wonder.
Comic book fans will like the many touches that honor its pulp fiction lineage – including some stunning slow motion action scenes that capture Gadot in iconic Wonder Woman style. True to it’s DC origins the plot starts with Diana rescuing American pilot Steve Trevor, played by Chris Pine, when he is shot down by German Forces in World War I. After learning of the “war to end all wars” Diana decides to leave Theymscira (Paradise lsand) to honor the sacred Amazon trust to protect the world.
Composer Rupert Greggson-Williams (“The Crown” , “The Bee Movie” and “Over the Hedge”) weaves a score that is a perfect accompaniment to the fast-paced action, skillfully moving between lighter music underscoring dialog and gradually building tension with powerful percussion for battle scenes.
The editing is tight, and the script peppered with wit. The story line is filled with comic-book-esque villians, and unexpected twists, and sets the stage for more Wonder Woman epics – something that everyone can cheer about.
