Finished watching Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins, and staring Gal Gadot, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright and Chris Pine. The film opens with Diana (Gal Gadot) going to her office in the Louvre, in Paris were she revives a package containing a photo of her form World War One, which leads to her reminiscing about the events that lead to her leaving her home on Themyscira. The film then transitions to Diana's childhood where she was raised by her mother the queen of the Amazons Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) who try to protect her form learning how to fight and keep to her studies only for the Amazonian general Antiope (Robin Wright) to teach Diana how to fight even though it's initially against the wishes of Hippolyta. Years later after a training session Diana notices a plane crash just of the cast of the island where Diana saves the life of American spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) only to discover that he was followed by a fleet of German ships leads into a fight on the beach between the soldiers and the Amazons. After the fight and finding out what is happening in the rest of the world leads to Diana take Steve back to the war in hope to join the fight even though is against her mother's orders and he better judgment. Overall this was a amazing film as it brings the story of Wonder Woman's origin to life amazingly well that brings a surprising and a long welcoming of a more brighter and optimistic tone that has been missing for the DC films for years while still feeling a part of their film universe. There's an amazing amount character interactions and development with how some the film shows enough insight of each character which allows for some surprising amazing mini arcs for multiple characters. While Wonder Woman as a character fells incredibly relatable with how her story sees her leaving the safety of her home and venturing out into the wider world and the way her naivety effects her view on the world. There's is also some great visuals throughout with how the fantasy elements of Wonder Woman mixes extremely well with how it fits within the look and feel of World War One and the slow motion effect within the fight scenes works extremely well with how it focuses on parts of the action scenes. 9.5/10.
