Let me just start by saying that my knowledge of DC Comics does not reach beyond recent movies, so I cannot say whether the movies are an abomination in comparison to the comic books or not. I went through my superhero phase in high school, but it's since long gone. I have seen my fair share of superhero movies, but Wonder Woman absolutely blew me away; box office numbers prove that Wonder Woman has been just as impressive to most audiences. So what is it about Wonder Woman that's broken more records than any other superhero movie in 15 years? Well as Shrek would say, "it has layers!"

The thing about Wonder Woman is that it isn't just a superhero movie; it's also historical fiction, a rom-com, a film about Greek mythology, and an action movie. The movie encompasses elements from so many genres that it would be hard to find someone who dislikes it! The film's main premise is the typical good versus evil that so many DC and Marvel films follow, but it isn't nearly as prominent as one would expect. In fact, that underlying message is as nestled down as the smallest Russian nesting doll. Now you're probably thinking, "that movie sounds chaotic," but trust me, it's brilliantly written. Christopher Orr from "The Atlantic" said it better than I, "Befitting its World War I setting, Wonder Woman has a certain throwback charm, with Gadot and Pine playing off one another as good-naturedly as partners in a 1930s screwball comedy."

With such a subject as Wonder Woman, I was afraid that the movie would push messages like "women are better off without men," but my finding was quite to the contrary. The movie exemplified that when men and women come together both are pushed to their full potential. The movie's biggest successes were when Wonder Woman was working with/or motivated by another force. The movie also discussed philosophical and scientific manners more than any other superhero movie I've ever seen! This left the movie with a classy, refined feel.

So the next time your diverse group of friends is arguing about what movie to watch, Wonder Woman is definitely the route to go! You'll have found a solution that satisfies everyone's qualifications. Not to mention, the cast is definitely a sight for sore eyes. Between Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, you're sure to be crushing on one or the other by the end of the movie!

I'm not going to include any spoilers, but the end of the movie leaves you begging for a sequel, and several "Easter eggs" make you start to question how exactly Wonder Woman fits into the DC multiverse. Fortunately, the clues are subtly repeated throughout the movie, so if you missed them the first time, you're sure to catch them another.

Wonder Woman was a movie of few faults. In fact, the only faults I personally found in the movie were in CGI. Watching the movie, you can often see what the makers were going for, but I suspect the green screen technology just isn't there yet. This leads to a couple of scenes where Diana, aka Wonder Woman, seems to be in color when the rest of the scene looks like it's in black and white. However, five cheesey seconds of screen time don't really affect my overall impression of the two and a half hour movie.

Overall, Wonder Woman has definitely made my list of "would watch again" movies which is a rarity, because most movies put me to sleep. I could not recommend the movie more!
