trailer:
Variety has a positive review, as do Vanity Fair and The Hollywood Reporter. The Guardian reviewer was disappointed. The New York Times says "It cleverly combines genre elements into something reasonably fresh, touching and fun."
Roger Ebert's site concludes,
Despite its flaws, “Wonder Woman” is beautiful, kindhearted, and buoyant in ways that make me eager to see it again. Jenkins and her collaborators have done what I thought was previously impossible: created a Wonder Woman film that is inspiring, blistering, and compassionate, in ways that honor what has made this character an icon.Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 92%.

Haven't seen this one. Hopefully it'll find its way to Netflix or Amazon sometime.
ReplyDeleteWas it you that recommended Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden? If it was, I want to thank you. I've just finished it, and have to say I loved it and couldn't put it down! I read The House at Riverton before, and have The Lake House ready and waiting.
Hope you're having a good weekend,
Alison
I'm not familiar with that book, but I googled it and it looks like something I'd like. Thx! I'll look for this author :)
DeleteGood week-end :) The rain stopped anyway lol
I enjoyed this movie a lot. It was good to see some woman power on the big screen! Happy Sunday! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYes, it's good to see such powerful female leads :)
DeleteThis was one I had no interest in seeing. I guess I was not impressed, because I remember seeing the original Wonder Woman in reruns on TV. Perhaps I'll join you in your outlier status, too.
ReplyDeleteI never watched the tv show and didn't read comic books, so she's new to me. She's impressive as a strong female lead, but the movie just felt slow to me.
DeleteIt was good enough, but I wasn't as bowled over as the reviews, either. But Dagan and Leah loved it. Yes, it was good to see a woman superhero, though, and it was done well.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and grown son liked it, but they were both already familiar with her backstory. I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm sure future films that don't feel like they have to labor over character development/history will move along better.
DeleteI used to love the TV series so I wasn't sure about seeing this movie, somehow remakes never seem to live up to expectations 😀. Thanks for the review and I hope you had a lovely weekend! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteMy husband watched the tv show and wasn't disappointed by this, if that's any encouragement. She has the look and strength of the tv show WW.
