Micransix Crappy film
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Eric Stevenson It was pretty easy for me to recognize Nathan Fillion's voice in this. I swear that guy is becoming the new Patton Oswalt or Weird Al Yankovic seeing as how he also did a great voice in the best "Rick And Morty" episode. Anyway, Wonder Woman is actually one of the most prolific superheroes out there, but until recently never had a feature film devoted to her. While not as recognizable as Batman or Superman, she is still a very important character that everyone should be aware of. In the DCAU, she did not have her own animated show, but really did get to shine with episodes focusing on her in the "Justice League" cartoon. It's here that I knew more about her mythology.I don't have much hope for the live-action theatrically released Wonder Woman movie and am perfectly fine if this is the movie that becomes her most famous. We get great set up for her origin story as it begins with her mother, Hippolyta, fighting an army and literally creating her from clay. Probably the most enjoyable thing in the whole movie is the romantic involvement she has with the character Steve voiced by Castle himself, Nathan Fillion. I was first introduced to him as the star of the show "Castle" which I sadly wasn't able to see newer episodes of. The battle scenes in this film are grand and epic.It's hard to do good pacing with a film that's relatively short, but this movie does it perfectly. I was just waiting for Cheetah to appear and for Wonder Woman's name to be mentioned at the end and guess what I got? I guess it's weird watching an animated PG-13 rated movie but it really does earn its rating. And yeah, Wonder Woman herself is quite beautiful. It's just great to see her adjust to the outside world and realize her role she rightfully earned as a protector. We even get to see zombies at the end of the film and although it doesn't quite amount to that much in the long run, you can't argue with Amazonian zombies. Thank you for introducing me and others to the mythology of this classic character. It's the best movie I've seen for Superhero Month and dare I say the best direct to video movie ever! ****
rajatdahiyax A graceful Amazon princess of untold strength and beauty attempts to prevent the god of war from instigating a conflict that will last for centuries and destroy the human race as the animated adventure marking the return of DC Comics heroine Wonder Woman. On the mystical island of Themyscira lives a fierce race of warrior Amazons who have raised a powerful daughter named Princess Diana. The Amazons live in secrecy from the outside world, but when Army fighter pilot Steve Travor crash-lands in their tropical paradise, the headstrong princess defies the law of the land by accompanying Trevor back to civilization. But her transition into the modern world won't be an easy one, because when Ares escapes from his Amazonian prison and begins plotting his revenge, Princess Diana is the only person who stands between the god of war, and the destruction of the human race - beginning with the Amazons. Now, as Princess Diana harnesses her unique powers to boldly fight back against Ares and save the planet from certain destruction, Wonder Woman is born and the battle for civilization begins.
AJSteele If you like Wonder woman your in for a nice surprise. This film (and yes I said film because of it's live action feel)strikes at the core of Wonder Woman with brute force and modern appeal. The movie brings DCs greatest heroine to life with vivid animation that captures the best of your favorite comic book frames. Awesome animation. The characters are so substance rich that you'll forget your watching a "cartoon".Digging deep into the origin of Wonder Woman the film- makers have fun creating believable landscapes while holding to the mythical charms that endear us to the character of Wonder Woman. To put it plainly , Wonder Woman kicks a*s and does so with plain spoken angst.The movie even dabbles in giving us Wonder Womans approach to some of todays females while holding to true femininity. Great writing all around with audio that is completely in sync. This animated triumph gives hope to the Wonder Woman fan who is salivating for a serious live action film. Highly recommended, especially for the adult superhero buff.
MasterFantastic As a self-confessed comic book and animation geek, I have to admit that I was a little hesitant to check out the distaff side of things. I'm used to watching the Superman/Batman/Green Lantern and Justice League guys do their stuff. In other words, before watching Wonder Woman, I wondered if anyone could ever make an animated feature with a female superhero who could hang with the guys.Glad I was wrong, and it was a good thing I gave this animated feature a shot, as Wonder Woman gets a solid treatment from the DC crew and emerges as a powerful warrior (warrioress?) in her own right. The film reprises Wonder Woman's birth, her early years on the hidden island of Themyscira, and her encounter with man once Ares, the god of war, escapes and she is entrusted with the task of bringing him to justice.The film, surprisingly bloody by DC standards at the time it was made, benefits from excellent animation and a strong voice cast. Alfred Molina embodies evil as Ares, while Keri Russell more than holds her own as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, and Nathan Fillion also provides excellent comic timing and support as Steve Rogers. Rosario Dawson as Artemis also scores as does Oliver Platt as Hades in all his gross, dripping, smarmy evil, and really, all the voice parts are handled well.Where it does break down somewhat is the constant battle of the sexes idea. It was made early on in the movie and is repeated multiple times. I think they could have explored the relationship with modern society more instead of harping on the men-are-chauvinist-pigs concept. In spite of that, Wonder Woman delivers on a number of levels and shows that she is not only a vibrant and memorable character, she's also competing with the big boys now and beating them at their own game.A solid and very worthy entry in the animated DC-universe. Worth watching for anyone who's interested in a good story and excellent action.
