My take on Wonder Woman 2017: Patty Jenkins "Wonder Woman" dives into the origin of the female superhero and her transformation from an innocent desperate wannabe warrior to an inspiring superhero who stopped the World War I.
The story takes us through Greek mythology and off course, all- important Greek Gods mentioned. Therefore, an innocent princess from an isolated island Themyscira filled with the only woman called the Amazons embarks on a journey to stop the World War I as she believes it's the war raised to by Ares God of wars to end humanity. The interesting part of this superhero movie is there is lots of thought process and messages before any fight by the protagonist, unlike other comic superheroes. The screenplay flows with a good pace and keeps you amused until the end supported by effective VFX.
On the performances, obviously, Gadot stands out with her roaring performance making us wanting more. Gadot on her niche avatar as wonder woman is fierce, bold, naïve, loyal, focused, spectacularly fashioned, charming, charismatic and which makes her undoubtedly the wonder woman. I felt as if she was born to play this role. Chris Pine as Steve the British spy and the love interest of Wonder Woman delivers solid and his character has good scope in the play, unlike brief other comic hero's love interest. On that note, this movie has more romance.
Get in and I am sure the Wonder Woman will wonderfully sweep you off your feet.
PS: Loved Gadot's Middle Eastern/Israeli accents so do watch it in the English version. For those who felt Gadot is thin slender and not suitable for a superhero I suppose even spider man on reality is not macho and when he dons the costume boasts power. So I felt same rule applies for female superheroes as well.
I will rate an easy 8 on 10 and I watched it twice in IMAX 3D -By Sivakumar Balachandran
