Take #39: Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman: What a "Gal" !

If you like super-hero films, this one is terrific.


Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress / model / martial artist absolutely nails it as the fiery, naive Amazon who steps into the "world of men" for the first time; it is difficult to think of another actress who would have done equal justice to the role. Chris Pine is pretty neat as the British military spy bemused by the sudden presence of a beautiful, bellicose partner.


The story line is, of course, slightly over the top, but you can forgive that because the movie is fast-paced and slickly edited; a liberal dose of humour in the dialogue also contributes to making it a great watch.

Wonder Woman 2 is almost a certainty - I haven't seen a hall this packed for a super-hero film (at a mid-week night show!) in a very long time. Girl power: go get it !
