I hope WW will encourage good things to happen in future films.<br /><br />Yes, I definitely think Logan was a better film. It was also a more established franchise. Wolverine and Professor X needed no introductions. It was a beautiful ending for both characters. I think for an origins film, WW was quite good. <br /><br />I'm glad I wasn't the only one who cried during that scene!msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-69711818736691291712017-06-10T12:55:27.466-04:002017-06-10T12:55:27.466-04:00Hi Wendell!!

When Zack Snyder was at the reigns the movies took far too dark of a turn. You're right that now that Geoff Johns and Jon Berg are in charge the movies are headed in the right direction. Jenkins showed what a strong, confident and skilled director can do when faced with (what Hollywood feels) are impossible odds. I'm read reports that DC was so convinced this would fail that they didn't even bother signing her up for the sequel. Big mistake. Mo' money! Mo' money!Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-73146098534321001972017-06-09T14:03:57.599-04:002017-06-09T14:03:57.599-04:00Beautiful review and I'm so happy you liked it...Beautiful review and I'm so happy you liked it this much, I know how much you waited for it! My favorite bit from your piece is how the man is always weak for the woman to be strong in movies but it's not the case here. That is so true. I don't know how it's so difficult for filmmakers in 2017 to understand that both sexes can be equal on screen and that this is what would make the dynamic between them compelling. That's why the chemistry between the characters was so palpable - because they actually communicated and challenged each other. It's also true for Logan and Laura. And I'm so glad you mentioned how much you liked Logan, it's better than Wonder Woman but you are right Gal is gonna be like Reeves' in Superman. This is the movie that is already written in cinematic history. And I too cried in No Man's Land scene not just because it was remarkable to witness as a movie fan and a woman but also because Diana is doing what she is doing to stop the fighting, not continue it. It's just so lovely.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-33954327200813236772017-06-09T12:14:07.568-04:002017-06-09T12:14:07.568-04:00Glad to see you give us a review, I've missed ...Glad to see you give us a review, I've missed your writing. I know, I know, life. Anyhoo. I agree this is a fantastic film and far better than anything else the DCEU has given us. I was not aware of the changing of the guard at DC, so I hope you're right about them turning the corner. I will disagree with one thing. I thought Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy spent lots of time explaining the hero's morality.

It hit all the right notes and thrilled me beyond what I could have hoped for. It's the new high bar for all superhero movies to come and I hope it is the start of a renaissance for female heroes like Batgirl.<br />Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408150910056369989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-10076999982367018192017-06-08T13:27:55.685-04:002017-06-08T13:27:55.685-04:00Thanks.

Awesome review! Totally agree - Hollywood has such a huge problem with depicting women in an equal way - that they can be powerful, compassionate, kick-ass, independent and fall in love. Wonder Woman proved them wrong. I can't remember a movie where it was fun, emotional, and exciting to watch a female character go from a young girl using her superpowers, determination, and emotional growth to become a mature woman. And it didn't hurt anyone else - Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, David Thewlis, etc. played good characters too. I could go on and on, but this movie was so good. Great review!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-49966376399191552802017-06-08T10:34:28.768-04:002017-06-08T10:34:28.768-04:00I will have to watch Guardians 2.

So true about the true message of feminism-- equal and complimentary. No one is better than anyone else. Idk about the Justice League. It may be too far gone. <br /><br />I heard about Synder's personal tragedy, which must be so absolutely devastating. I truly feel for him and his wife. I didn't feel it was appropriate to comment on Joss Whedon's take over of the JL film given the reasons that Synder was leaving.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-22150036400905456592017-06-08T10:29:51.510-04:002017-06-08T10:29:51.510-04:00I'm thrilled for Patty.

And her fight across No Man's Land was the best I've ever seen.<br />Someone said it represented true feminism - equal and complimentary, not above.<br />I still have high hopes for Justice League.
