Thrilling, earnest, and buoyed by Gal Gadot’s charismatic performance, Wonder Woman succeeds in spectacular fashion
Wonder Woman is the superhero movie we all needed and deserved. It’s got everything: stunning visuals, well-crafted action sequences, and a decent plot. But what really sets it apart is Gal Gadot’s performance as Diana Prince. She brings a nuance and depth to the character that is truly remarkable. And let’s not forget about the humor and romance that add a little something extra to the film. Overall, Wonder Woman is a valiant, momentous, and satisfying addition to the superhero genre. Plus, it’s about time we had a female superhero lead her own movie!

It’s easily the best film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) thus far. But what does that mean when your yardstick is [Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman, and Suicide Squad]?

Wonder Woman flips nearly every gendered superhero trope it encounters.

It’s not difficult to see where this route is going, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable to watch. The simple power of love is the cornerstone upon which Wonder Woman is built. If it seems earnest, it’s because it is.

As befitting the genre, Wonder Woman is heroic and spirited. The fighting sequences are spectacular, and the story is engrossing, uplifting and fun. There’s even a bit of romance and humor amid all the action. [Full review in Japanese]

Gal Gadot has a talent for making every experience feel like it’s her first - which, in Diana’s case, it often is. She is remarkably alert. Her eyes and her face are always open; she’s always receiving, learning, responding.

Whether it represents a cog in a larger universe, a historical watershed for women’s leadership, or the answered prayers of long-suffering fans and idolizing dreamers, “Wonder Woman” is valiant, momentous, and satisfying.

Every Movie Has a Lesson
Wonder Woman is flawed, clichéd, imperfect. But it has moments — more than a few — where I found myself shedding a slight tear. Sometimes sadness. Sometimes elation.

Wonder Woman features an optimistic, brave, compassionate, and relatively well-adjusted character – a refreshing change of pace from the moody bunch that preceded her.

It’s a big moment for blockbuster filmmaking the next step in diversifying Hollywood storytelling on the big stage. In that effort, dare we say, it does a wonderful job.

The Jenkins / Heinberg duo gave Hollywood a valuable lesson: the “underdogs” of indie cinema and television have much to contribute to contemporary action cinema that urgently needs new blood to avoid repeating formulas [Full review in Spanish]

Diana Prince is both compassionate, gentle, and peace-loving while at the same time strong, uncompromising where important, and unwilling to be pushed around.
