Yesterday we went to the movies again and we watched Wonder Woman with our usual gang of moviegoers.
The movie tells the beginning story of Diana Prince - better known as Wonder Woman - after we had a small glimpse of her in Batman vs. Superman. She was raised on a hidden island by the Amazons, and from a very young age wanted to become a warrior like the other women on the island. Her mother doesn't like that idea very much - note: what else was she supposed to do? there were no gardeners or scientists on the island as far as I noticed - but in the end Diana gets her training and becomes the best of the best. Just at that moment Steve Trevor - a man as she quickly recognized - crashlands his plane in the sea near the island and get's rescued by Diana. But Steve was pursued by the evil Germans and once the land on the hidden island there's a huge battle on the beach. It is at that point that Diana decides she need to go out into the world and kill Ares to stop the war that is poisoning humanity.
Yes, that was Ares in there and together with the other greek gods - after all Zeus brought Diana to life - they might or might not be real. Diana wants to do good and save humanity, her mother is not so keen on that idea but has to let her go anyway - Diana's at a tough age to argue with. Once she arrives at the industrial London she gets immersed into a whole new world, where her openness and views are not easy to hide for Steve.
What follows then are fights during the First World War until there's a showdown with the evil German general she thinks is the hiding Ares...
The movie is extremely well made - one of the best made DC movie to date - and the story is quite acceptable. Historically the movie is not quite accurate - this time around the Germans are evil because they are influences by the god of war - but the action scenes make more than up for that. Gal Gadot is the perfect choice for Wonder Woman - like Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark - and starts to bring the whole DC universe to life. Let's just hope that she gets enough screen time in Justice League so that the DC movies will be up to Marvel movies standard.
Conclusion: an absolute must-see movie for comic book and action movie fans - we watched in in 2D, which was ok - I guess there are not many 3D effects to warrent watching it in 3D
