La Mujer Maravilla

The problem with this animated Wonder Woman movie is that the plot is a little bland for adults, but the level of violence is probably too much for kids. And even though it's only 74 minutes long, the story still feels watered down, and some of the dialogue feels heavy-handed or wooden. That being said, it's a pretty straightforward telling of Wonder Woman's origin story. It's not bad, but I expected it to be better.

Like many other viewers before, I didn't really cared about the character of Wonder Woman before the movie. She seemed to be pretty much an relict from the early days (1940's) of the upcoming feminism movement and therefore irrelevant or even "boring" (to state a overrated Hollywood pretty-face). But that movie really sold me, not just because of the wonderful, old-school animation the big, amazing fight scenes (Amazons vs. Monsters of the Greek mythology, Amazons vs. Zombie Amazons and so on), the cool mythological background and story that progresses out of it but mostly because of the characterization of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor. Hell, even the bad guys and evil doers had their reasons and motivations and that's just good storytelling. However, Wonder Woman is portrayed as a kind hearted, sometimes naive, lovable female who's also a absolute bad ass 'cause of her heritage, if she needs to. I also loved that the movie didn't took itself too serious and fooled around with some of the more ridiculous things regarding the WW character (like WW considering Heels, Amazons referred as "armed supermodels", invisible missiles and pretty much everything with the lasso). I can't talk about the original voice cast 'cause I've seen that movie German dubbed (but IMO the German cast was spot on!). My only complaint is, that this movie was just too short. However, if DC should finally be able to produce a Wonder Woman-movie for the big screen, this is what it should feel and look alike!!!

This movie made me a fan of this DC Comics super-heroine. Steve Trevor, a U. S. Army fighter pilot, crash-lands on the mystical island of the Amazons called Themyscira. The rebellious and headstrong Princess Diana defies her queenly mother by accompanying Trevor back to civilization. Ares, the god of war, has escaped and seeks revenge on the Amazons by starting a world war that could wipe out living beings, beginning with the Amazons. Diana must harness her extraordinary abilities to protect her people and the planet as she transforms into the legendary Wonder Woman!

This is an awesome movie. It is very well written, and the animation is really cool! I thought this was one of the best DC movies, along with the live-action Batman movie. The story was perfect, funny, full of suspense, and really worth the PG-13 rating. I don't single out a particular scene (as I've made clear on multiple occasions), as I appreciate the entire movie equally from start to finish.

I've never been a Wonder Woman fan, the ridiculous outfit always put me off much alike Superman and at time of writing haven't even watched the live action Gal Gadot film

For this reason I went into this expecting very little so found myself blown away by just how good it is.

Essentially an origin story it follows Diana from birth through to adulthood and her double pronged first mission to return a pilot to the world of man and to defeat Ares God Of War who has escaped confinement.

It never fails to amaze me how good the voice talent is in these things. Here we have Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Alfred Molina, Rosario Dawson, Marg Helgenberger, Virginia Madsen, David McCallum and one of my favorite actors Oliver Platt.

They do a fantastic job here as do the animators and the writers, I really enjoyed this. Is it ground breaking? Hardly, but considering it was a movie about a character I don't much care for they really knocked it out of the park.

The Good:

I love greek mythology

Very well written

Great voice cast

The Bad:

I still can't take the invisible jet seriously

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Don't believe the lies about the stork or the sex thing, my eyes have been opened! Babies are molded from sand.

Fighter jets float

The man who created Wonder Woman was born in the 1800's, let that sink in

Heroes have no appreciation for property damage

Being attacked by a god causes instant sobriety

The question who ate all the pies has been answered, it was hades

I am happy to say that this is a very decent movie. Wonder woman has waited so long for her own epic, albeit a straight to DVD release. The story takes us through her roots, where she came from, and more importantly, who she is. The story works, and it has its own originality. What could make it better? If it were live action thats what. If they added a little more to fill it to maybe 100 minutes, and got someone young new and able for the lead part, and maybe removed some of this Steve's chauvinist's attitude, then this Wonder Woman movie in Live action WOULD BE EPIC! This gives me hope that the big screen live action will be close to perfect.
