Growing up on the isle of Themyscira, home of warrior women Amazons, Dianna (Gal Gadot) had always wanted to join their ranks - eventually undergoing training despite her mother, the Queen's, protests.
Out of love, vital information is with held from her and when an opportunity to leave the sheltered isle comes calling, in the form of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), she goes to fulfill her mission of protecting the world from the God of War, in the middle of World War I. Those poor, poor Nazis.
I have to admit, this movie does have all the things I'm looking for in a superhero flick with good effects, nice camera work, explosions, nice eye candy (so much eye candy lol), a body count, good acting all around, a decent bad guy and most importantly a decent story!
There are nice funny bits, "war is hell" bits, and a good dose of "girl (em)power(ment)" all done without any viscera. I particularly like the artsy part near the beginning of the film. I can't really flaw this movie and while it doesn't beat my favorite (The Dark Knight, I'm a Batman fan), I also have no reason to not give it five god killers out of five. Highly recommend it and yes, I would definitely watch it again. :)
I appreciate the spoilerless review. Eventually I'm going to watch this, but right now I'm happy to know that WW turned out great.
ReplyDeleteYup yup, glad you liked the review too. :)
DeleteNazi's in WWI? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha ok I should have said "Nazi's to be". Historical accuracy isn't my strong suit. :P
DeleteThanks for pointing it out! :)
Took me awhile to finally see WW but totally agree with you - 5/5
