Wonder Woman - 神力女超人
Wonder Woman (神力女超人) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. The supporting cast include Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen, and Elena Anaya. This movie takes place in the DCEU.
Diana is working at a museum when she receives a photo during World War I and recalls her past. Back to her time on Themyscira or also known as Paradise Island. There, Diana was trained from an early age to be a warrior with no match. During World War I, Diana sees a plane crash land off the coast. Diana immediately springs into action and saves the person, but the Germans pursue him and find the island. A deadly battle ensues where the Amazon's primitive weapons took heavy causalities to modern guns. Diana decides to go stop the war. The adventure begins.
The movie was pretty fun to watch. Many plot holes but every movie has them. In this case, no explanation is given to why she goes silent for almost another hundred years before battling Doomsday. But that's not the point, Diana needs to join the Justice League.
It's been on HBO recently and I've stopped to watch bits here and there, but never kept on to the end. Not sure why, but once through was enough for me.
