DVD Review: Wonder Woman [Emz]

I recently purchased this DVD a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoyed this film when I sawe it at the Cinema and couldn't wait to see it again.

The film stars Chris Pine and Gal Gadot.

Here is the synopsis of the film:

Before she was Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, Diana meets an American pilot (Chris Pine) who tells her about the massive conflict that's raging in the outside world. Convinced that she can stop the threat, Diana leaves her home for the first time. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars, she finally discovers her full powers and true destiny.

Review:

This film was brilliant. I enjoyed the way Gal Gadot portrayed Diana (Wonder Woman) as a member of the amazons at the beginning, being naive to the world outside. The way she didn't understand the way people lived and dressed, her mind was only focused on one thing.

Of course when Chirs Pines character of Steve, an american Pilot comes crashing through the barrier between the amazons home and the outside world everything changes.

Diana's character seems to grow throughout the film, becoming aware of things around her but still set on one important mission.

Of course not everything goes to plan and just as she thinks she has succeeded in her mission, she suddenly realizes that her mission hasn't been completed and the battle is just about to begin.

The fact that the story is set during World War 1 makes the tale more interesting, looking back into the past and the way this story works around alongside the war and doesn't overlook it completely. 

We realize that the Diana that we meet in Batman V Superman as been around quite some time and has become accustomed to how people live.

I enjoyed this film immensely and feel that a female hero (origins story) is what is currently lacking in Marvel until 2019 (Captain Marvel) and that DC has pulled this film off very well.

There is supposed to be a sequel being released in 2019, where this film will fall in Diana's timeline i'm not sure but it will be interesting to see.

I look forward to seeing Justice League from the 17th November.

Till next time
