Wonder Woman

Actors: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen, and Elena Anaya.
Rating: 10 out of 10  A new favorite movie of the year as DC comics finally deliver on the wealth of lore they are blessed with. I was incredibly impressed with Gal Gadot and not for the usual reasons. I’ve always thought she was a bit stiff if undeniably gorgeous in prior movies but this was a part she was born to play. She’s confident, physical, and sneakily funny throughout. I thought they spent a little too much time on her mythical island which had a hard time not seeming silly but as soon as she is thrust into World War 1 Europe the movie soars. Chris Pine tags along as her less capable, but “above average” counterpart. I thought this would be the hardest of the DC heroes to effectively bring to the screen but boy was I wrong, Gadot and the movie are truly wonders.

MVP: Predictably Gadot as Diana Prince – a true wonder
