THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THE REVIEW.
Hello readers,
I am back with a review on the latest addition to DC Comics, Wonder Woman. Unlike other films on the DC universe and even for Marvel, Wonder Woman is both a magnificent and beautifully crafted action superhero film and hands down one of the best on DC universe films.
Acting as an origin for the Diana of Themyscira and follow up from Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice, Wonder Woman tells a story of the princess who was raised in an isolated island far away from mankind and how she ventured into the Man's World where it was filled with chaos brought upon by the then First World War. Interestingly, the film was shown in a flashback perspective which is rather refreshing and unlike any superhero films in our today's generation.
The moment when the film began, I was already hooked to the screen which welcomed the marvelous gleaming world of the Amazons and how the Wonder Woman was brought up. The fight scenes along with the familiar, energetic music were amazingly filmed and I totally enjoyed the whole film without having any thought of disappointment which generally happened in DC universe films. There is no inch of cringing-ness and any scenes which tried hard to be somber. Speaking of the music scoring, the beginning somehow reminded me of Macbeth for its silent tension and excitement.
Wonder Woman is one of those films which I could definitely relate, especially her relationship with Steve Trevor. Most critics have compared this tragedy to Marvel's Captain America since both women have lost the love of their life to a sacrificing act. Generally, the whole story managed to flow well and I enjoyed every bit of chemistry, the acting between Gal Gadot and Chris Pine who both played their respective roles (Gadot as Wonder Woman and Pine as Steve Trevor). Compared to the performances of both Henry Cavill and Amy Adams as Superman and Lois Lane in Man of Steel and Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gadot and Pine's ones felt natural and real; to the point which I felt extremely lost and sad at the ending of the film. It was a great pain for one to lose someone and worst of all, not being able to have more time with the one you loved.
While Wonder Woman provides an entertaining visual effects, stunts and beautifully crafted story, it also reminded us about the mankind and the world. I do agree that mankind brought cruel to the world. We, as humans, are no saint and we bound to be corrupted once in awhile. However, we must be reminded that while hate still lives among us, love is one thing that could win anything above all. For this, Wonder Woman has managed to succeed in leaving a message to the audience which previous DC universe films failed to.
In conclusion, Wonder Woman is a big step for DC Comics to changed their luck around and hopefully we will see more films like this in future. Anyone who holds the expectations which would be similar to Suicide Squad or Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice will find this film to be at great ease on his or her mind. With Gadot being born for this role and the film being more entertaining, livelier from other DC universe films, Wonder Woman is one film that should not be missed and I can tell you that I never regret any moment of the film.
