Wonder Woman (2017) - REVIEW 📝✏️

DC Universe is going down for several years. But Wonder Woman rehabilitated DC in the fans eyes. Wonder Woman really became a wonder.

I wasn't going to watch this movie but enthusiastic reviews changed my mind. So let's find out is it a worthwhile thing or not?
To be honest, I was expecting a pathetic film in the style of Superman or Batman, but I was pleasantly surprised. But first things first.

A small girl Diana lives on the island of Themyscira - the birthplace of the Amazons. Diana is a curious and willful girl and with pleasure watching the training of other women warriors. She wants to grow up faster and start fighting but her mother stops her. Her mother says that war isn't a funny thing and hopes that Diana will never have to taste the bitterness of war.

I really liked that they paid much attention to Diana's childhood and her growing up. Here she is a young girl (Gal Gadot). In secret from her mother, she trains with her aunt Antiope (Robin Wright), the mighty warrior of the Amazons. Antiope coaches her harder than other women.

Diana is no longer a militant girl. She looks hopefully at the world and is preparing to defeat Ares, the god of war, whenever he shows up. One day a man appears on their island. He runs away from the German Imperial Army chasing him. It is a British spy - Steve Trevor (Chris Pine).

Diana figures out that the war had engulfed the world. She is going to help Steve in his mission. Diana thinks Ares started that war and she is going to kill him with the "Godkiller" sword.
Diana also has 1) Bracelets of Submission to protect her against bullets. When the bracelets are crossed, they create a powerful barrier. 2) Lasso of Truth making anyone tell the truth and also Lasso of Truth can be used as a weapon.

To understand this film, you do not need to be a fan of comics. The director Patty Jenkins did her best.

From paradise island, we are transported to dirty, gloomy London. We laugh at the naive Diana and the scene with a change of clothes. But this scene allows us to understand other things. Namely the attitude of society to the woman. Steve introduces her as a secretary. Everybody calls her "hey, woman". And the fact that she knows foreign languages is nonsense!
However, it is time for them to go to war. The picture is even more gloomy and in the dark, we see red and yellow colors. Diana brings brightness to the picture. Her pure soul can not become as dark as the atmosphere of war. Wonder Woman demonstrates her abilities to fight. Action scenes are skillfully made. Dialogues that lead Diana to the realization of a new world are not pretentious. She sees people cynical, refusing to help each other. But she fights for them.

The cast is wonderful. Gal Gadot, who served in the real army. Not just beautiful, but incredible. She was able to convey the naivety of her character and belief in the best. In the right moments, she shows determination and persistence. She has very expressive eyes. There's the whole world of emotions in them! Her eyes say sometimes more than words.
Chris Pine perfectly played the ordinary man with his fears, his opinion and his vision of the world, for which he could sacrifice his life. Is not that what many did during the war? They sacrificed themselves for their faith and for making the world better.
There really were feelings between the characters. Not just because it's written in the script, but it was understandable why the feelings started.

We don't see stupid vanilla drama. These two people are warriors! They don't have time for all this stuff because any time one of them can die.

This is an epic movie about the emergence of a new superhero. The main and understandable morality of Wonder Woman is the idea that the gods have not controlled us for a long time. They are contemplating and we ourselves are destroying each other. And it is true.

Next time we'll see Wonder Woman in Justice League this year. Well, see you, Diana!
