Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot is stunning as Wonder Woman, dominating almost every moment she's on screen apart from a few nice moments from Chris Pine, and there are a lot of great scenes, no mediocre scenes and this isn’t easy stuff. She doesn’t walk the fine line between female and strong, she shows us there is no line – she weaves the gordian knot of a real woman with no redundant threads and no missing threads. Similarly this is a coming of age movie, an action movie and an origin story woven together seamlessly. Unlike many action movies you know exactly why she's fighting and what she’s feeling in that moment and at the same time those action scenes are breathtaking, numerous and segued into and out of elegantly. And how she moves you have to see to believe, and not just in the action scenes – She’s elegant, lithe, powerful and determined, her acting doesn’t stop at the neck, it doesn’t even pause there – Her body language is perfect. I’d say that as superhero leads go they don’t get any better than this, but that would be understating it – There are awards she’ll win and that the movie will win that you’d expect a superhero movie to be in the running for. It should get most if not all of those. The only question is how many of the non-genre-specific awards it, and more specifically she, will get. I hope she gets the Oscar that any perfect performance deserves, especially given the challenging nature of playing an icon, a physically demanding role, no doubt a lot of green screen, and a character so far out of the norm both in nature and nurture. It's very difficult to find fault with this movie. The sound (at least in the cinema) is excellent, the score stirring, the 3D so good that it was unnoticeable, the special effects and cinematography outstanding and the performances of the supporting cast are almost without exception very good. As superhero movies goes this is a masterpiece on par with Avengers Assemble or X-Men: Days of Future Past. However, the smaller cast and the tightly focused well-crafted central story, Diana's story, lifted into the stratosphere by Gal Gadot's breathtaking performance, make it stand out from the rest – This is a masterpiece amongst all movies.

So let's begin with two obvious points. 1) this is a superhero movie 2) the hero is a woman So, this means that this film will appeal to two audiences (i) superhero movie fans and (ii) women who want a her who looks like them. This is arguably the same premise as Marvel's Captain Marvel. But this latter film fell flat, at least in the view of the male members of my family. The girls loved it. But it didn't really have the wow factor to be a top, top superhero film. Myself and my son (and my wife, oddly) were left feeling flat. Like we'd been in a film produced by brainstorm where the question was "how do we bring gender equality into the MCU" - we felt manipulated and not entertained. None of these problems affects Wonder Woman. The plot is strong. Wonder Woman takes on the proto-Nazi's of World War 1 AND battles the God of War whilst supported by a Yankee, an Arab hustler, a Native American and a drunk Scot. This feels like vintage Captain America - and, indeed, WW packed the punch of the first MCU Captain America movie. More importantly, though, WW felt like I was reading a comic book. A vintage comic book. I half expected to see ads for Sea Monkeys and Charles Atlas's muscle growth plan appear at certain points in the drama. Gal Gadot was excellent as Wonder Woman (her Israeli accent had the fun side effect of making every other woman of the Amazon Nation speak in a copycat Israeli accent - hysterical for those of us who know real Israelis). The Love story was believable. The Action story was gripping. The Ancient Mythology bent the truth a lot (and had the film's only logical flaw: Zeus seems to have been murdered before Diana (WW) came into being at his hand - odd that!). All together a 10/10.

To all the people who have written such silly over negative or equally the people who are (over the top) raving about it STOP......... this was never ever going to be a film for everyone, no film with a female lead even in these 'enlightened' times ever is. This is a well made, 'blockbuster' that certainly fulfilled the brief, look at the title people! okay the plot-holes were horrendous but to explain everything would have taken for ever! I saw no evidence of female sexploitation or gratuitous sexualised scenes, and to criticize Gadots acting is even more pointless..... they could easy have turned it into a 'dark knight'esque trilogy and brought out all manner of spin-offs but hats off to pulling off the almost impossible task.... a very good, entertaining (apart from Chris Pine's Capt. Kirk acting!) film about a female superhero, you think you could do better? go and had have a go if you think you're hard enough xxxx

Confezione Bluray 1 disco standard, contiene il film (circa 2 ore) e Contenuti Speciali ottimi per altrettante 2 ore. Molto apprezzato il collegamento tra il Fumetto originale e il film, presente negli extra. Davvero bello e ben fatto. Gal Gadot è perfetta per il ruolo, forse la più indovinata tra i Supereroi DC (basti pensare a quanti Batman abbiamo avuto...). Molto originale lo script del Film che riprende fedelmente la "nascita" di Wonder Woman. Mi piace e lo riguarderò infinite volte.

Wonder Woman est à mes yeux un des meilleurs films de super-héros !!! Bien sûr Gal Gadot est superbe mais c'est avant tout une excellente actrice qui incarne à merveille une héroïne forte et sensible à la fois. L'histoire est vraiment très bien écrite et j'ai surtout apprécié voir Diana découvrir l'Europe de 1917 avec ses coutumes / ses codes qu'elle a du mal à comprendre ou à accepter. Elle peut sembler naïve à certains moments mais j'y vois surtout la sensibilité à fleur de peau d'une femme qui ne comprend pas comment on peut tuer des femmes et des enfants ou ne pas écouter dans une salle le seul homme qui parle de paix. Gal Gadot parvient à exprimer une telle sincérité dans son jeu qu'elle est crédible du début à la fin de ce film. Peut-être que le fait que ce film a été réalisé par une femme y est au moins un peu pour quelque chose. Les images sont quant à elles superbes avec des couleurs qui correspondent parfaitement à l'époque décrite dans le film. L'utilisation de ralentis pendant certains combats est réussie et permet de profiter à fond des scènes en question. Quant aux effets spéciaux, ils sont parfaits tant ils s'intègrent harmonieusement à l'histoire. Rien à redire non plus concernant les autres personnages, aucun n'est simpliste ou caricatural. Ils sont en plus incarnés par des acteurs doués qui n'en font pas trop. Un autre point que j'ai particulièrement apprécié dans ce Wonder Woman c'est que les interrogations existentielles de l’héroïne n'occupent pas une place démesurée comme dans certains autres films de super-héros. Certes Wonder Woman s'interroge sur qui elle est et quelle est sa place dans le monde mais ces questionnements ne sont pas trop présents tout au long du film. Pour résumer, Wonder Woman vous ravira autant pour la qualité de l'histoire, le jeu des personnages et les effets spéciaux au top !!!

j.w.

I stand by my title, this is by far one of the best super hero movies of all time. Gal Gadot is perfect as Wonder Woman however it goes beyond that; every character brought their all and were on their A-game, the script was perfectly written, the score and music were awesome, and there was so much heart in this movie. I love that this is set in Workd War 1 and Chris Pine is a perfect Steve Trevor aka love interest for Diana; they have incredible chemistry in battle and in romantic/emotional scenes. Their romance doesn't feel rushed or paper thin either, it's intense. Chris Pine's group of military personnel that goes with him are also cool to watch and add to the movie. I like that the beginning explains Wonder Woman's origins but doesn't become an origin story. Her home island is where Steve Trevor crashes his plane, then he convinces Wonder Woman to fight with him against evil (she's consumed with finding and defeating Ares, god of war). Her mother reluctantly banishes her and she fights the Germans and also plays her role as Diana Prince brilliantly too; she's new to society and it shows in this movie. In a way, I think Steve Trevor brings out Diana's humanity being a Demigod and all. The plot is actually a very interesting one, the German villains are truly evil here. The action here is also amazing .Towards the end of the movie when the true villain is revealed, Ares (who disguises himself very well and really tries to mess with Diana's mind) , there's also the sacrifice that Steve Trevor makes to help stop Ares and the Germans is just a tearjerker and you can feel Wonder Woman's heartbreak. This movie shows how and why Diana decides to become a hero and is more than just an action packed CGI fest with no story. I think director Patty Jenkins made Gal Gadot the iconic Wonder Woman with this movie even though Linda Carter was great during her time in the role. I think this will stand the test of time, even though Snyders universe is done and they'll likely recast Wonder Woman in James Gunn's universe, this is a wonderful, top shelf Wonder Woman

Wow, was ein geiler DC Superhelden Film. Der erste der aber echt locker mit Marvel mithalten kann. Erst Mal hauen einen die 3D Effekte so was vom Hocker wie ich es zuletzt bei Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 oder Thor Ragnarök im Kino gesehen. Die Farben genauso gut, der Humor sehr gut. Die Action extra klasse. Gal Gadot spielt die Wonder Woman absolut glaubwürdig und die Erzählung wie sie zur Heldin wird ist gut gelungen. Aber die Kämpfe und Action da blieb mir echt der Mund offen stehen. Vor allen der Endkampf zwischen ihr und Hardes dem Gott des Krieges sehr gut gelungen. Die Musik also der Score auch gut. Warum nicht von Anfang an so DC und Warner? Wieso musste erst so jetzt erst recht schwache Filme kommen wie Sucide Squad oder Batman Vs. Superman? Ihr könnt es doch auch wie ich jetzt gesehen habe auf den selben Level wie Marvel. Eigentlich habt ihr sogar die bessere Charaktere. Wie man merkt bin ich sowas von begeistert das ich es kaum glauben kann, das ich einen DC Film gesehen habe. Jeder der Superhelden Filme so gerne sieht wie ich, wird den Film richtig gut finden. Auch Chris Pine spielt seine Rolle gut. Viele kleine Gags sind verteilt. In meinen Augen hat auch dieser Film kaum Schwächen und jetzt freue ich mich erst Recht auf Justic League nächste Woche. Meine Güte waren das geile Szenen wie Wonder Woman durch ihre Gegnerschar sich kämpft. Klar viel CGI aber das hat Marvel auch. Mit sehr guten Gewissen kann ich diesen Film empfehlen und nur hoffen das DC jetzt dieses Level halten kann. Wenn Wonder Woman schon so gut war wie wird erst der Solo Film von The Flash oder Batman? Yeah, DC ist auf den richtigen Weg. Endlich, endlich. Aber der Film sollte man sich zu Hause wenn es geht in 3D ansehen. Was da alles aus dem Fernseher auf einen zukommt. Gewehrkugeln, Schwertspitzen schauen raus und so weiter und so weiter. So muss ein 3D Film sein. Auch das Steelbook ist super gelungen. Gute Motive außen und innen. Auch kann man den Titel und das Zeichen von Wonder Woman gut fühlen. Kann nur sagen, hier stimmte meiner Meinung nach Preis und Ware. Edit: (24.11.2017) Meine Güte habe ich wohl Glück gehabt als ich mir diese Version des Film bestellt habe und auch bekommen habe. Steht jetzt hier echt ein Preis von knapp 60 Euro? Ich habe ihn diesen noch damals für 33 Euro bekommen. Wusste gar nicht das Filme so in Wert steigen können. Sachen gibt es.
