I have a love/hate relationship with super-hero movies in the past 5 years or so. For one thing, I believe they make entirely too may of them but I can understand why they do so. I mean, if you could get a 400% R.O.I. on a tried-and-true formula, even if said formula is overused, wouldn't you continue to do so?

Now, just like the Black Panther story, the origin of the Amazon women is completely impractical but since this is a super-hero movie that isn't meant to be based in reality - I"m ok with it. An island hidden from the rest of the planet that once you leave (if you are an inhabitant) you can never return to and while i am sure someone out there can explain why it is that some WW1 people end up stumbling upon the island, i don't really understand how it is that they passed through to the Amazon Island dimension but i guess they needed to in order for Wonder Woman to feel compelled to leave (who is actually named Diana and unless i wasn't paying attention, is never actually referred to as "WW" in the movie at all.

I'll be honest and say that I never knew much about her, so if this movie stays honest to the comic book lore then I can honestly say that I learned a lot and so will you if you are into these kind of films. I found it to be significantly more interesting than say "Thor" which was a bit too convoluted for my liking.

The cinematography was very well done and one thing I really appreciated about DIana is that fact that even though she is a "super-hero" she isn't impractically omnipotent. She experiences difficulties getting past machine gun fire, snipers, and grenades and what not and I thought this was a nice touch that she on occasion needs some help.

I suppose the love story was a bit unnecessary but it was always going to happen. Another thing that I didn't like was the fact that all of the people that accompany her can see that she is otherworldly and extremely powerful but yet they continually tell her that what she wants to do is not possible.

This results in her going off on her own and getting it done anyway.

Overall, i really liked this film and thought it was not just a lot of fun, but also very informative for any comic book nerds out there. Perhaps that is just for me because I never much cared for wonder woman in a comic book sense and therefore never bothered to learn about her. The action comes at a steady pace and the story is very rarely boring. Of course a bunch of critics tried to turn this into some sort of social justice something or other but i'm pretty much GTFOH about all that action. I recommend that you see this movie if you are one of the few people on the planet that haven't done so yet. Spoiler alert - Diana is immortal :P
