![]() She's ready to fight, but she's even more focused on vanquishing evil for the sake of peace. Some might be tempted to dismiss Gadot as just another pretty face, but - as hinted at in her scenes in Batman v Superman - she rises to the challenge of playing Diana as both ridiculously strong and sweetly naive. Show moreīorn to play the role of Wonder Woman, Gadot proves that women can be fierce and loyal, as well as empathetic, in director Patty Jenkins' epic, satisfying origin story. There they team up with three of his friends on a mission to save the world from the plans of the evil German General Ludendorff ( Danny Huston). With her bracelets of victory, lasso of truth, battle shield, and magical sword, Diana goes to London with Steve in hopes of ending the war. After defeating the Germans but suffering losses, the Amazons want to kill or imprison Steve, but after he explains that millions are dying in The Great War, Diana decides it's her duty to help him. He's Steve Trevor ( Chris Pine), a British spy pursued by the Germans, who soon descend upon Paradise Island and engage the Amazons in combat. One day during World War I, an airplane crashes in the sea, and Diana saves the pilot - the first man she's ever met. ![]() Eventually the queen relents, and Diana ( Gal Gadot) becomes the strongest warrior on the island, embracing the Amazons' responsibility of protecting humanity against Ares, the god of war. WONDER WOMAN starts off on the hidden Amazon island of Themyscira, where a young Diana desperately wants her aunt, warrior General Antiope ( Robin Wright), to train her - but her mother, Queen Hippolyta ( Connie Nielsen), forbids it. Both starring and directed by women, this is a surprisingly diverse superhero story with strong messages about teamwork, courage, and compassion. Diana/Wonder Woman ( Gal Gadot) is often naive, but she's clearly the heroine of the story, and her interest in saving people means she acts bravely and selflessly, setting an example for others. Bu language is minimal ("hell" and "damn" are the worst of it), and drinking is mostly of the social kind, though one character does get drunk. There's more romance here than in many of the male-centric superhero movies, including innuendo, brief references to reproduction and being aroused, kissing, characters possibly spending the night together, and a scene in which a naked Steve Trevor ( Chris Pine) covers his privates with his hands. ![]() Some of the deaths are bound to hit viewers hard. As in most other comic-based movies, there's lots of explosive, destructive action violence, as well as fierce hand-to-hand fighting and armed combat (the movie takes place during World War I), resulting in a high body count - more so than in many other DC/Marvel movies. Parents need to know that the long-awaited Wonder Woman, which is part of the DC superhero film universe, is the highest-profile comic book adaptation to date featuring a female superhero.
