Story: Born and brought up in the land of the Amazons, Princess Diana seizes the opportunity to go to the real world and save the people from a blood thirsty war raging there.
Review: The days are gone of the woman being the damsel in distress! Now it's the man who takes the backseat while the woman wonderfully ( pun intended) locks horns with the bad guys. The film starts off with a back story to Diana's life explaining where she came from and what she believes in . wonder woman takes an exciting turn only once she reaches the real world.Her vulnerableness and innocence has been portrayed well by the makers . However ,all superhero (or heroine ) films are garnished with quips and that's what makes the film so entertaining to watch! Wonder Woman is behind in that department and lacks the occasional verbal showdown between the villain and the protagonist. Sure , it has its moments but they are not enough .While the first half of the film is more docile ,it's only the calm before the storm as the second half is loaded with racy fight sequences . Another necessary ingredient in these type of films is a menacing villain . The villain here is not strong enough and ends up being unintentionally funny which is not a good sign for the film . Wonder Woman believes that she can end the war if she kills Ares , the god of war. What is confusing is how did the war actually end . Because of what she did? Or because it was destined to end either way.? The last 30 minutes of the film are too much to handle as a lot is going on there . It gets tiresome to watch . Wonder Woman has been appreciated by the critics and audiences alike . While the praises being showered on the film may seem too much. A good superhero film with a female lead has been awaited for the longest time , and Wonder Woman does make it worth the wait . Wonder Woman comes to the rescue of the unappreciated female superhero films . It gets its point across without being cheesy. The film is thrilling in the fight sequences .
Israeli model turned actor Gal Gadot does a brilliant job , she completely transforms herself into wonder Woman . She leaves no stone unturned to look believable . Chris Pine too is impressive as usual as Diana's love interest .
Go watch this one to experience girl power at a completely different level , it has got what so many superhero films till now have not , guts !
