Jean, This is a big-time action film starring Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman who easily carries the role with great confidence and some amazing force. She plays the lead Diana who leaves her Isle of Amazons and comes to battle the Germans in World War I. There is plenty of man to man and women to women combat using swords, bows and arrows and spears. Chris Pine joins the film as her love interest and adds some humor as well. The film is 2 hours and 22 minutes which is much too long and there are some very slow stretches. We end up with the biggest finale ,an explosion extravaganza battle between Diana and Ares, the God of War. Gal Gadot provides the thoughts about mankind and the waste of man killing one another. But I was expecting a softening of the sword play and shield bashing and throwing of thunderbolts against German tanks. It was entertaining mainly due to watching a Wonder Woman with such an easy authority. Dad
P.S. The previews are:
Hitman Bodyguard
Geostorm
Atomic Blonde
Transformers:The Last Knight
Murder on the Orient Express ( looks so interesting)
Blade Runner: 2049
