Has anyone else seen the new movie? What are your thoughts on it?
I saw it over this past weekend and enjoyed it a great deal. It's definitely one of the better movies that have come from the DC movie universe. I know that's not saying much to some people, but this film really is good. I loved the way that they managed to update Wonder Woman's story while still remaining true to her roots. Better still, the changes to the classic story felt natural. I didn't feel that that was always the case with Man of Steel or even the changes to Batman in Batman v Superman. In those films, some of the changes felt like they were different just for the sake of being different from the other versions. Perhaps that was somewhat unavoidable since Superman and Batman have been adapted so many times, but some of the inorganic changes took away from those films, whereas the changes made to the classic Wonder Woman story helped this film and felt natural.
Gal Gadot did a good job at bringing the character to life. In fact, I was somewhat surprised by how good she was. I had some initial concerns about how well she would fit into Wonder Woman's shoes the first time I saw her in costume due to the fact that I wasn't sure she had the right build for Wonder Woman and the fact that the costume's coloring seemed off to me. I didn't have any issues believing that she was Wonder Woman while watching the film itself, though. I don't want to get into anything else at the moment in case people haven't seen the movie yet, but I'll close my thoughts on the subject by saying that I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this Wonder Woman in the future.
