Wonder Woman (2017)

This film was very, very good indeed.
We first meet Diana (Gal Gadot) in the present day, city unknown but her thoughts swiftly move to the past as she is given an old photograph.
Then, we go back to Diana's childhood, where she grew up on a secret, secluded island full of women, placed there by Zeus. These are strong women, warriors, all of them and they don't care what they're missing on an island without men. And then, one day, a man breaks through. It is during the stormy, foggy days toward the end of World War I, but he (Chris Pine) is not welcome. The woman aren't happy to see him. Especially since he brings the enemy (German men) with him, but these women fight them off and get the truth out of the surviving man, Steve Trevor. And Diana wants to go with him to kill Ares, the god of war who has put all the evil into the humans on Earth causing wars to exist. Diana's mother (Connie Nielsen) isn't pleased but reluctantly lets her daughter go.
Diana just wants to get to the front lines as soon as possible, not understanding the intricate way of the British militia. And of course, Steve needs to assemble his posse, which he does. His crew consists of Sameer (Said Taghmaoui), who has a rather large crush on Diana; Charlie (Ewan Bremner) who has a lovely singing voice and suffers from PTSD and Chief (Eugene Brave Rock) who trades with men on both sides so he can make a profit.
They get to the front lines with the mission of stopping this nasty new poison from destroying the lives of innocents, but Diana takes matters into her own hands and saves a village, only to have everyone die the following day from the nasty toxic poison the Germans are inventing, devastating Diana. And then Diana meets the German general Ludendorff (Danny Huston), whom she believes is the embodiment of Ares and she kills him, while Steve goes off to his death to destroy the vials of poison from reaching the lives of the people, enemy and civilian alike. But the catch is that Ludendorff isn't Ares, instead it is the British general, Sir Patrick Morgan (David Thewlis) and he is her equal match, finally putting up a nasty fight. But Diana wins out in the end, but her fight is far from over. It is just beginning.
This film really had everything going for it. A great plot, with twists and turns, snappy dialogue, funny moments, very good acting, solid performances, flawless editing, great sets and costumes and excellent special effects. There were some amazingly funny lines and Gadot's innocence finally being in the real world was great. Everything fascinated her. She was very much a feminist, not wanting to listen to any man, but she was thrilled the first time she saw a baby, as though it was actually the first time she had ever seen a baby, not to mention her excellent battle scenes. Every ounce of training that she had put into this role shows on the screen. Pine is also doing his best work here, at least out of all the films I've seen with him in them, even the Star Trek movies; he fakes a flawless German accent. And it is great to see minorities in roles in a major film, especially a Native American, the most underused minority in all of Hollywood, at least in my opinion. This is a film that everyone should see. The message is also something wonderful. Love is the only thing worth fighting for. Diana's right, it is the only thing worth fighting for. Grade: A-
