Wonder Woman (2017)
Wonder Woman is a 2017 action movie directed by Patty Jenkins, with a running time of 2h 21m. It stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine and Connie Nielsen.
Diana grows up on Themyscira, a hidden island of Amazon warriors untouched by men, trained in secret for a war she is told may never come. When American pilot Steve Trevor crashes through the island's veil carrying word of the First World War, she leaves the only home she knows, certain the god Ares is behind the slaughter. Gal Gadot plays her with wide-eyed conviction that curdles into resolve as she crosses no-man's-land into the trenches. Patty Jenkins directs a superhero origin with old-fashioned sincerity: an idealist meeting the ugliness of the world and refusing to look away.

A few thoughts on Wonder Woman
Fullmetal Alchemist, the manga, shares the ache of idealists caught in a war that costs more than they imagined. My Hero Academia carries the same belief that a true hero runs toward danger to protect others. For Diana's antiwar heart, Neil Young's album Living With War turns the same fury at needless slaughter into music.
Women who carry the fight
Wonder Woman crosses no-man's-land with old-fashioned conviction, an idealist who refuses to look away. These films hand the fight to women too, super-soldiers and treasure hunters and cosmic heroes who carry the whole story on their own shoulders rather than waiting in the wings.
DC heroes, drawn and animated
Before Gal Gadot, Diana lived in DC's animated films, and Wonder Woman shares a universe with them. These animated features run on the same mythology, sending the Justice League and its rogues through crises, doomsday plots and mirror worlds with a bite the live-action rarely risks.
War seen from the trenches
Wonder Woman sets its origin in the mud of the First World War, where heroism meets real slaughter. These stories sit in that history, from a spy's dangerous game to children caught in wartime and a protest album's anger, each one refusing to make the fighting pretty.
Heroes who stand between us and the monster
Diana leaves a hidden island certain she must stand between the world and its monster, and Wonder Woman runs on that conviction. These manga epics share it, following young heroes who put their bodies between ordinary people and the thing that would devour them.
