Wonder Woman (2017)

This was totally a rip-off of Captain America: The First Avenger. Germans, impossible to pass enemy lines, taking on a mission that goes against orders, turning the tide on the war, a guy named Steve making the sacrifice play with a plane. All jokes aside this is a solid entry in the DCEU. This was also an opportunity for girls to have a hero to idolize. The film had a lot of good visuals and Gal Gadot continues to rock as Wonder Woman. I will say, her dialogue is a bit cringe at times. Where she truly shines is being the most attractive person in the room while also being the most badass. Gal Gadot’s take on Wonder Woman is one of the few roles I’m sad to see if it gets replaced. This definitely falls under the “have to watch at least once” category. It’s fun and really shows Diana become the hero we saw in Batman V Superman. Speaking of, this movie should have 100% been before Batman V Superman. Seeing her fight Doomsday makes her fight in this movie seem less impressive. Fighting an unkillable Kryptonian…Blocking a few bullets and explosives. One definitely should have come before the other in terms of stakes.
