THE GOOD:

- Gal Gadot

- the purity and dedication of the gender role reversals (and everything that goes along with that). this, needless to say, is the most thrilling and important factor here.

- Gal Gadot

- the lasso

- Gal Gadot

- WWI setting, which excuses a lot of the inexplicably appalling special effects, in its own saturday morning serial kinda way

- Gal Gadot

- Lucy Davis

- Gal Gadot

- all the bits in London

- Gal Gadot

- the actors who play the villains

- Gal Gadot

- this bullet-point format that allows me to get this over and done with while re-watching FUNNY PEOPLE for work.

Only love can truly save the world.

Remember when some trickster claiming to be a former worker from Warner Bros. wrote an open letter saying that Wonder Woman was just another mess of a DC movie, et cetera? I remember how Patty Jenkins responded to that. She tweeted: "Just wait and you'll see".

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could even consider that there was the slightest chance of this movie not being good, and I'm gonna tell you why: this is the very first big female-led superhero movie, in which the title character also happens to be the greatest female superhero in history. If you really think that Patty Jenkins, also the first woman to ever direct a…

We oppose imperialism. As the most destructive action in the world, as the source of more war, death, and exploitation than anything this world has known since chattel slavery was born, imperialism is the highest, most vile, most horrifying aspect of capitalism, and we oppose it. We oppose the countries that engage in it. We oppose the armies that effect it. We oppose the racism that enables it. We oppose the economic outlook that devised it.

Movies are alchemy. I’ve said this before, and I’m sure I’ll say it many more times before I’m gone, but it’s the truth of the cinema: a magical, hard to harness process can turn a strip of film into something far more precious and meaningful.

Watch WONDER WOMAN with distant, unengaged eyes and you might see the seams, the places where reshoots came in or where the story is papered over in order to keep moving along to the next scene, where actors are standing in front of green screen or their faces have been plastered on a stunt double. But that’s the lead, and in the hands of Patty Jenkins it’s all turned into gold. What’s her secret? I…

"Wonderwoman" es una película. 

Tiene narices que tenga que alabar esto, pero dado que las otras 3 producciones de DC ni siquiera se acercaban a ese concepto, pues no me queda más remedio que remarcarlo. 

No, aquí no te atosigan con "mira que guay el traje", "han cambiado su look", "tiene un tono más oscuro"... y un larguísimo etcétera. Simplemente se han decantado por contar una historia. Una historia más bien simple y con extractos que ya hemos visto un par de cientos de veces, pero con buen hacer.
Conocemos a la heroina, la sitúan en su contexto, te explican sus intereses y su forma de ser, la relacionan con personajes bien definidos (y no con sujetos llamativos y vacíos)…
