Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Wonder Woman (2017)






Directed by: Patty Jenkins

Written by: Allan Heinberg, Zack Snyder (story), & Jason Fuchs (story)

Starring: Gal Gadot & Chris Pine





When Steve Trevor's (Pine) plane goes down in Themyscira, Diana a.k.a. Wonder Woman (Gadot) has a choice to make on whether she wants to stay with her family or venture out into the world to save the human race from the God of War, Ares.

Overall, Gadot is the perfect new Wonder Woman.  Her character is naive and as she ventures off she learns lessons that enable her to become the Wonder Woman that is a part of the Justice League.  As for Pine, he works well with Gadot, and her powerful nature does not intimidate him nor bring down his character.

At the same time though, the villain, Ares, was a strange choice casting wise.  I would have hoped they picked someone else.  Preferably anyone else, but perhaps that was the whole plan, to make him look not villainy.

The film is dark like previous DC films.  In addition, don't stay towards the end, there is nothing there.

4 popcorns due to some dragging portions of the film mostly because of the repetitive nature of her explaining her goal and him disagreeing with her actions.
