Wonder Woman (the motion picture)
Jun. 3rd, 2017 10:28 pmI'm not going to be longwinded here. Just got back from seeing Wonder Woman with shadowkat67.
Go see the movie.
Wonder Woman, Diana of Themyscira, is supposed to be inspirational, a hero who tells us that we can be better than we are, that the pain and misery of the world can be overcome with courage and compassion.
There are a number of times in this movie when Gal Gadot leaps into action and she is the Diana we were meant to have, the one we need. There were tears in my eyes.
Does everything work in this movie? No. Shadowkat is right -- there's problems with pacing, and one CGI slugfest these days looks pretty much like any other.
But the great moments here are truly great. And for all you Buffyphiles out there, the movie copies one of the most iconic moments of the series. (You'll know it when you see it.)
Bring on the Justice League. And Wonder Woman 2.
