After a few false starts, the DC Extended Universe has its first truly terrific entry under its belt. About damn time.
The DCEU’s game gets raised. Gadot is a godsend, Pine charms, and Jenkins delivers old-school thrills with heart and conviction.
Fantastically entertaining and empowering superhero adventure.
Wonder Woman feels far fresher than most recent superhero movies.
Those hoping a shot of oestrogen would generate a new kind of comic-book movie...might need to lower their expectations.
A rousing adventure yarn, shorn of the usual fanboy mythos.
Earnest yet fun and exciting without being grandiose.
The film may feel a little too long by the end of two-and-a-half hours but comic book fans will congratulate director Patty Jenkins on a job well done. She has given us a credible female superhero in a blockbuster film that is bright, gung-ho and fun for all ages.
Gal Gadot’s Amazonian warrior princess reinvigorates the superhero genre with a shockwave of fun.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
