Movie reviews from a middle school teacher's perspective

Wonder Woman

Apple Rating:

Wow!  Long live Wonder Woman!  This movie has everything a great super hero movie should have; interesting back story,  a doomed romance, historical events, light-hearted comedy, kick-ass fighting and great special effects.  The heroine of this epic, directed by Patty Jenkins, is played convincingly by Gal Gadot.  Her Diana Prince is actually an Amazonian princess, the daughter of Zeus, and the secret weapon (unbeknownst to her) that will one day be the downfall of  Ares, who has destroyed the other gods, and is trying his hardest to destroy mankind too.  Gal Gadot does an excellent job playing the innocent Diane, when she is brought from her island into the real world and introduced to the new and odd behaviors of mankind, including the atrocities humans perform on each other in times of war.  Chris Pine is dreamy as always as the American  pilot who crashes on her island paradise and falls in love with the beautiful warrior.  Pine, Gadot, and  a trio of interesting side-kicks, band together to fight for humanity.  Unlike most super heroes, Gal Gadot really makes us feel that she truly cares for the people she has sworn to protect; and that love, will indeed, cure all.  There is enough over the top action to satisfy the most die hard super hero movie connoisseur, and enough fresh story-telling to satisfy those who are tired of this genre.  Which ever side of the love/hate super hero movies side of the fence you are on, this movie is for you!
