![Wonder Woman [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21NIgCywuBL.jpg)






Wonder WomanBefore she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the desertcarts, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny. Review: Raises the bar - Gal Gadot is stunning as Wonder Woman, dominating almost every moment she's on screen apart from a few nice moments from Chris Pine, and there are a lot of great scenes, no mediocre scenes and this isn’t easy stuff. She doesn’t walk the fine line between female and strong, she shows us there is no line – she weaves the gordian knot of a real woman with no redundant threads and no missing threads. Similarly this is a coming of age movie, an action movie and an origin story woven together seamlessly. Unlike many action movies you know exactly why she's fighting and what she’s feeling in that moment and at the same time those action scenes are breathtaking, numerous and segued into and out of elegantly. And how she moves you have to see to believe, and not just in the action scenes – She’s elegant, lithe, powerful and determined, her acting doesn’t stop at the neck, it doesn’t even pause there – Her body language is perfect. I’d say that as superhero leads go they don’t get any better than this, but that would be understating it – There are awards she’ll win and that the movie will win that you’d expect a superhero movie to be in the running for. It should get most if not all of those. The only question is how many of the non-genre-specific awards it, and more specifically she, will get. I hope she gets the Oscar that any perfect performance deserves, especially given the challenging nature of playing an icon, a physically demanding role, no doubt a lot of green screen, and a character so far out of the norm both in nature and nurture. It's very difficult to find fault with this movie. The sound (at least in the cinema) is excellent, the score stirring, the 3D so good that it was unnoticeable, the special effects and cinematography outstanding and the performances of the supporting cast are almost without exception very good. As superhero movies goes this is a masterpiece on par with Avengers Assemble or X-Men: Days of Future Past. However, the smaller cast and the tightly focused well-crafted central story, Diana's story, lifted into the stratosphere by Gal Gadot's breathtaking performance, make it stand out from the rest – This is a masterpiece amongst all movies. Review: A proper super-hero movie - like the best of Marvel (but by DC?!?!?) - So let's begin with two obvious points. 1) this is a superhero movie 2) the hero is a woman So, this means that this film will appeal to two audiences (i) superhero movie fans and (ii) women who want a her who looks like them. This is arguably the same premise as Marvel's Captain Marvel. But this latter film fell flat, at least in the view of the male members of my family. The girls loved it. But it didn't really have the wow factor to be a top, top superhero film. Myself and my son (and my wife, oddly) were left feeling flat. Like we'd been in a film produced by brainstorm where the question was "how do we bring gender equality into the MCU" - we felt manipulated and not entertained. None of these problems affects Wonder Woman. The plot is strong. Wonder Woman takes on the proto-Nazi's of World War 1 AND battles the God of War whilst supported by a Yankee, an Arab hustler, a Native American and a drunk Scot. This feels like vintage Captain America - and, indeed, WW packed the punch of the first MCU Captain America movie. More importantly, though, WW felt like I was reading a comic book. A vintage comic book. I half expected to see ads for Sea Monkeys and Charles Atlas's muscle growth plan appear at certain points in the drama. Gal Gadot was excellent as Wonder Woman (her Israeli accent had the fun side effect of making every other woman of the desertcart Nation speak in a copycat Israeli accent - hysterical for those of us who know real Israelis). The Love story was believable. The Action story was gripping. The Ancient Mythology bent the truth a lot (and had the film's only logical flaw: Zeus seems to have been murdered before Diana (WW) came into being at his hand - odd that!). All together a 10/10.

A proper super-hero movie - like the best of Marvel (but by DC?!?!?)

It's a Wonder Women aren't always portrayed with such consideration!
To all the people who have written such silly over negative or equally the people who are (over the top) raving about it STOP......... this was never ever going to be a film for everyone, no film with a female lead even in these 'enlightened' times ever is. This is a well made, 'blockbuster' that certainly fulfilled the brief, look at the title people! okay the plot-holes were horrendous but to explain everything would have taken for ever! I saw no evidence of female sexploitation or gratuitous sexualised scenes, and to criticize Gadots acting is even more pointless..... they could easy have turned it into a 'dark knight'esque trilogy and brought out all manner of spin-offs but hats off to pulling off the almost impossible task.... a very good, entertaining (apart from Chris Pine's Capt. Kirk acting!) film about a female superhero, you think you could do better? go and had have a go if you think you're hard enough xxxx

Ein Wunder ist geschehen! Es gibt einen Film, der das unerhörte Kunststück vollbringt, einem den Glauben an das Blockbusterkino Hollywoods als verläßlicher Hoflieferant phantastischer Träume zurückzugeben. Wonder Woman schafft es, sich von den Stereotypen der zweidimensionalen Vorlage iher Graphic Novel Quellen abzuheben und in der Welt der Menschenkinder zu etablieren. Die erste Comicverfilmung seit langer, langer Zeit, die neben spektakulärer Optik auch emotionale Akzente zu setzen weiß. Nach dem letzten jämmerlichen Thor Ableger begeistert der neueste Superheldenstreifen durch erzählerische Qualität. In Rückbesinnung auf die alte Gewißheit, daß überbordendes Effektgewitter niemals eine qualitativ hochwertige Story ersetzen kann, fokussiert sich das Team um Zack Snyder und Regisseur Patty Jenkins auf sympathische Charaktere und einen für Comicverfilmungen erstaunlich komplexen Handlungsverlauf, in dem gehobener Wert auf dramaturgische Elemente und zwischenmenschliche Töne gelegt wird. Was zuallererst ins Auge sticht, ist, daß trotz aller Superpower, die Geschichte im Reich der realen Befindlichkeiten verortet ist. Beginnend bei Wonder Women fällt sofort angenehm auf, daß es sich bei dieser Amazonin nicht, wie man leicht hätte meinen können, um eine verhärmte, von maskulinen Attributen durchwirkte Kampflesbe handelt, sondern um eine echte Frau, wenn nicht sogar empfindsames weibliches Wesen, welches glaubwürdige Gefühle entwickelt und echte Anteilnahme am menschlichen Schicksal nimmt. Die Menschen sind hier nicht beliebige, verzichtbare, seelenlose Dutzendware, deren massenhaftes Ableben den effekthascherischen Showeffekt der Spezialeffekte steigern soll, sondern echte Wesen aus Fleisch und Blut mit ihrer eigenen Geschichte. Zu Ungunsten der Effekte wird behutsam eine Beziehung zwischen der Kämpferin und dem englischen Spion Steve aufgebaut. Ohne sich zu sehr auf Kitsch zu versteifen oder ins romantische der schmalztriefenden Schmonzette abzugleiten, findet der Film genau die richtige Balance zwischen Gefühl, Humor und Seriosität. Glücklicherweise zünden hierbei die dezent eingefügten Gags und sind meilenweit von der schenkelklopfrigen Infantilität eines Thor oder der Guardians of the Galaxy entfernt. Auf der mystischen, von der Weltöffentlichkeit durch einen Nebelschleier verborgenen, Insel Themyscira wächst die spätere Wonder Woman Diana, zunächst noch als kleine Göre, heran und wird im Lauf der langen Jahre zur Kriegerin aufgebaut. Mit der Idylle ist es allerdings jäh vorbei, als der britische Spion Steve Trevor mit einem Flugzeug den Schutzschild Themysciras durchbricht und notwassert. Von Diana gerettet, berichtet der Agent, seine Welt befinde sich in einem furchtbaren Krieg und der Menschheit drohe die Ausrottung. Schnell stellt sich heraus, daß Steve selbst in den ersten Weltkrieg verwickelt ist und und mit seinem gestohlenen Wissen den weiteren Verlauf des Kampfgeschehens nicht unwesentlich beeiflussen kann. Der deutsche General Ludendorf und seine diabolische Chefchemikerin, Dr. Poison, sind kurz davor, den Feind mit brutalen Giftgasen für alle Zeiten vom Antlitz der Erde zu wischen. Diana hat auf Thymoscira eine klassisch humanistische Bildungskarriere mit Schwerpunkt auf antike Götterwelt und Altgriechisch durchlaufen und schließt daher aus den ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Informationen folgerichtig, daß der Kriegsgott Ares in der Inkarnation Ludendorfs seine Hände mit im Spiel haben muß. Wonder Woman sieht daher in der Errettung der Welt und der Tötung Ares ihre Bestimmung. Über das quirlige und üppige Londen der 1910er Jahre verschlägt es Wonder Woman, Steve und eine Clique aus der Not geborenen und mehr schlecht als recht gecasteten Haudegen, über die umkämpften Schützengräben der belgischen Front, schließlich mitten hinein in das Herz des Bösen... Actionscenen werden bei diesem Feldzug gegen das personifizierte Übel dieser Welt wohltuend zurückhaltend eingesetzt und sind eher im konventionellem Stil eines Abenteuer- oder Kriegsfilmes gehalten, in dem sich die Überschaubarkeit des Geschehens über den Actiobombast Overkill erhebt. Wenn es dann schließlich doch mal knallt, fliegen zwar auch ordentlich die Fetzen, bleiben aber im Rahmen eines handelsüblichen Explosionsgewitters. Die Zeit zwischen den Feuerwerken, wird mit allerlei Verästelung der Handlung, Beleuchtung der Charaktere ausgefüllt (wie es Spud aus Trainspotting in den Film geschafft hat, ist mir ein Mysterium, paßt aber!) und schwelgen im dunstig-schwülen Ambiente des Londons im ausklingenden victorianischem Zeitalter. Obwohl der Film nicht von einer Scene zur nächsten poltert, kommt keine Sekunde Langeweile auf. Im ausgedehnten Mittelteil rückt die sich hauchzart anbahnende Liebesgeschichte zwischen Steve und Wonder Woman, mit all den unschuldigen Neckereien zweier Turteltäubchen, etwas in den Vordergrund. Wonder Woman mutiert dadurch zwar nicht zur Romanze, würde hier aber beinahe ohne den ganzen Superheldenquatsch auskommen. Bis zum fulminanten Finale, in dem Wonder Woman ihr gesamtes in den Tiefen ihres Uterus schlummernden Potential zum Erwachen verhilft, wird der Film von der sympathischen Ausstrahlung Dianas getragen, ohne jedoch jemals einen Abstecher ins Reich des Pathetischen oder Seichten nehmen zu müßen. Hollywood demonstriert der Welt mit Wonder Woman vorbildlich, was möglich ist, wenn man sich am Drehbuchautorenpult mal wieder etwas am Riemen reißt und sein Publikum mit Würde behandelt, statt es permanent intellektuell zu unterfordern. DC zeigt Marvel mal wieder wo der Hammer hängt und etabliert sich mit seinem Franchise tendenziell eher im Erwachsenensegment, während MARVEL sich mit Siebenmeilenstiefeln der Erstürmung der Kitapforten verdächtig macht... Das sich die Imposanz des Filmes erst in 3D voll entfaltet, versteht sich von selbst, wenn auch die beiden stereoskopischen Bilder zum Leidwesen des zahlenden Kunden, nicht immer zu einer Einheit verschmolzen werden können...

Wonder Woman est à mes yeux un des meilleurs films de super-héros !!! Bien sûr Gal Gadot est superbe mais c'est avant tout une excellente actrice qui incarne à merveille une héroïne forte et sensible à la fois. L'histoire est vraiment très bien écrite et j'ai surtout apprécié voir Diana découvrir l'Europe de 1917 avec ses coutumes / ses codes qu'elle a du mal à comprendre ou à accepter. Elle peut sembler naïve à certains moments mais j'y vois surtout la sensibilité à fleur de peau d'une femme qui ne comprend pas comment on peut tuer des femmes et des enfants ou ne pas écouter dans une salle le seul homme qui parle de paix. Gal Gadot parvient à exprimer une telle sincérité dans son jeu qu'elle est crédible du début à la fin de ce film. Peut-être que le fait que ce film a été réalisé par une femme y est au moins un peu pour quelque chose. Les images sont quant à elles superbes avec des couleurs qui correspondent parfaitement à l'époque décrite dans le film. L'utilisation de ralentis pendant certains combats est réussie et permet de profiter à fond des scènes en question. Quant aux effets spéciaux, ils sont parfaits tant ils s'intègrent harmonieusement à l'histoire. Rien à redire non plus concernant les autres personnages, aucun n'est simpliste ou caricatural. Ils sont en plus incarnés par des acteurs doués qui n'en font pas trop. Un autre point que j'ai particulièrement apprécié dans ce Wonder Woman c'est que les interrogations existentielles de l’héroïne n'occupent pas une place démesurée comme dans certains autres films de super-héros. Certes Wonder Woman s'interroge sur qui elle est et quelle est sa place dans le monde mais ces questionnements ne sont pas trop présents tout au long du film. Pour résumer, Wonder Woman vous ravira autant pour la qualité de l'histoire, le jeu des personnages et les effets spéciaux au top !!!

Bello, bello, bello, un film che mi ha molto entusiasmato sia al cinema che in BR, bella la storia che illustra un po' come nasce questa eroina, belle le immagini e lei la Gal Gadot da sogno, bellissima, affascinante e stupenda in tutti i sensi, rappresenta proprio la Wonder Woman dei fumetti e di come la si immaginava sfogliando le storie disegnate. Assolutamente un film da avere insieme agli altri super eroi.

Wonder Woman was the follow-up movie to Batman v. Superman and is told mostly as a flashback telling Diana's origin story. There are a couple of scenes set in the present that ties both to Batman v. Superman and the upcoming (at that point) Justice League movie, but most of this movie is set in the past. Most of the story in this movie is set during World War I. There are some scenes with a young Diana growing up on Themyscira, but the bulk of the story comes after Steve Trevor (played by Chris Pine) accidentally ends up in Themyscira while fleeing the Germans. He tells Diana about the war, and she is convinced that it is the doing of the god Aries, and sets out to find and kill Aries. From there it is mostly a period piece with Diana trying to integrate into early 1900s society, help fight in battles, and aid Trevor and his team to find a weapon being developed by an evil German doctor. There is a strong supporting cast including Robin Wright, Connie Nielson, David Thewlis, and other recognizable character actors. For those who get the 4K disc, it is a two-disc set with just the movie on the UHD disc, and all the extras on a regular blu ray disc. The movie looks and sounds great in UHD, especially if you have a large screen and a soundbar. There are over two-hours worth of extras including several behind-the-scenes features on making the movie, as well as several features on the overall character of Wonder Woman, and how the character has evolved over time. Overall, the movie is great. It has a great blend of action and humor. It has a message that it delivers without getting too preachy. Gal Gadot does a great job with the character. The script was good and all of the actors did a great job with their parts. It is probably still the best movie in the DCEU and is definitely worth the pick-up.

ho atteso anni per vedere Wonder Woman approdare al cinema e devo dire che nonostante le altissime aspettative, questo film è riuscito a sorprendermi e a galvanizzarmi. si tratta di un film di origini con una Diana ingenua, pura, che vuole trovare il suo posto e che diventa pian piano la Wonder Woman che conosciamo. La trama è perfetta e ti permette di vedere il nostro mondo con gli occhi meravigliati di una creatura candida e innocente. Ti permette anche di vedere la guerra e la sofferenza sotto un altro punto di vista, più viscerale, di sentirla e nonostante nel film il nemico è il dio della guerra, ci si rende conto quanto male ci sia stato nella realtà. è un punto di vista più umano rispetto a tutti gli altri cinecomics nonostante chi porta questa umanità proprio umano non lo è. La fotografia è eccezionale così come le coreografie di battaglia, l'azione è incalzante mentre Diana diventa sempre più Wonder Woman accompagnata da una colonna sonora d'effetto. Gal Gadot è wonder woman e la regista è riuscita a dare quel messaggio di speranza e di forza, quella luce che il personaggio porta nell'universo DC. voto: 10!!! tra i contenuti speciali, la scena che sarebbe dovuta essere nei post credit con una Etta Candy che apre la strada alla trama di Justice League.
