Hey JackHammer here, and welcome to another movie review.


Now let me make one thing perfectly clear! I am not a comic book guy! I never read any of the comics from DC or Marvel! I'm just a guy who likes watching some of the comic book movies with Batman, Superman and Spider-Man. Which means I'm not that familiar with Wonder Woman, heck I didn't even watch the Justice League cartoon growing up (other than a few episodes)


And at first, I wasn't interested in seeing this because the new DC extended universe was not off to a good start! With their first 3 films having mixed to poor reviews and divided opinion. Now I thought Man of Steel was alright, and I admit that it has some cool stuff, but seeing how Christopher Nolan is attached to it, I feel it tries too hard to be The Dark Knight trilogy. Batman V Superman had some cool stuff too, Ben Affleck isn't as bad as we thought he would be as Batman, and Wonder Woman did steal the show at the end despite only appearing for a few minutes, but at the same time that's the film's biggest problem, I feel they try to jam in and rush a lot of story arcs and characters just so they can get to the Justice League movie faster, when in reality just seeing Batman Vs Superman would have been more than enough! Also, I think they killed off Superman too early, and Jesse Eisenberg was just terrible as Lex Luthor! And I didn't see Suicide Squad yet so I can't comment.


But after seeing the surprising amount of good reviews, I got curious and went to see it at the last minute. and oh my god IT WAS F*CKING AWESOME!


I mean where do I f*cking start?! The story starts off a tad slow but it does keep you sucked in, I mean it's not like the previous DC films where they try so hard to sound important that it becomes complicated to follow, they keep it straight forward and understandable, and another thing is that they don't try to make it needlessly dark and gritty like Fan4stic or the other DC universe films. They still make it dark but it's also colorful and has a few good jokes in it. In fact, some of the scenes in this film actually pay homage to the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve!


The characters are likeable and funny too, and they actually help Wonder Woman throughout the film, and you do feel for them when something bad happens. Although the villains (without giving anything away) feel a little underdeveloped and corny (which is pretty much a big problem in most comic book movies nowadays), and it this film even goes to modern Disney territory where they throw in a surprise twist villain which is getting pretty repetitive now.


The action is amazing! But It's not like the Transformers films where it has a lot of action scenes but no story. We actually care about the characters in here, and that's what makes the action more fun to watch! From the fight between the Amazons and the Germans at the beginning of the film to the fight scenes between with Wonder Woman and the British against the Germans in World War I!


But of course the best thing about this film is Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman! She is just so loveable, but she's not perfect either, she still has things to learn throughout the film, and her relationship with Steve is very genuine as they teach each other how life works in their own worlds, and the message that Steve tells Diana is a really good message! And when Diana finally appears as Wonder Woman and kicks ass, It is awesome and badass to watch!


Bottom line, this is one of those films that comic book fans waited years to see and really delivers! Which leads to one question, will this lead to better DC movies, or is it just a lucky shot in the dark? We'll see when Justice League comes out (Don't screw with us Zack Snyder!)


Whether you're a DC enthusiast or just someone who likes comic book movies, then you should really check this out! But I must warn you that this movie doesn't have enough patriotism since they don't mention America at all and Wonder Woman doesn't wear her usual American underwear in this film...............Yeah, It's just some random bulls*it that Fox News is complaining about! Seriously, who cares about that s*it other than dumb Trump voters?!


I give this movie a 9/10!



Hope you guys enjoyed this review, be sure to check me and my girlfriend :iconanjanimates-mmd:'s other stuff, and if you like our stuff, leave a favorite, let us know what you think, and watch us. See ya next time!
