Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot est tellement adorable qu'on peut facilement la regarder 140 minutes à l’écran, ce qui est parfait puisqu’on l'y voit pratiquement toute la durée. De plus, la naïveté bon enfant de son personnage la rend encore plus attrayante. Après le déprimant Sans jamais le dire, ce genre de répit correspondait tout à fait à mon état d’esprit, d’autant que le scénario ne s’avère pas du tout simpliste, il essaie même au contraire de nous communiquer quelque chose. Un moment agréable, et pas seulement sur le plan esthétique. (14/07/2017)

L'amour à tous les regards. Et le meilleur DC depuis Man of Steel. Une rencontre fantastiquement capturée de l'univers du monde caché d'une île avec ses valeurs et idéaux purs, avec le monde réel pendant sa période la plus difficile historiquement que nous nous souvenons. Deux personnages habilement écrits et dirigés tout au long, représentant ces deux mondes. Et leur compréhension mutuelle qui approfondit et leur attraction inévitable. Une autre bande dessinée a-t-elle réussi à si habilement refléter le monde avec une telle fantastique toile de fond? Wonder Woman a du cœur, elle respecte le modèle, elle est intelligente, sexy et n'a aucune blague creuse. Quatre et demi. (06/06/2017)

In the recent years it is fashionable to shoot action or fantasy movies with female leads, so we have a chance to see or discover a whole range of new and beautiful actresses with great skill. In this case Gal Galdot did not disappoint at all. Her beauty is probably visible all the way from the Moon and even Martians would know who to pay attention to on planet Earth, if they decided to conquer it. However, I've had some issues with the screenplay as that is much worse. The Americans appear to think that we Europeans are completely dumb, so they’ve mixed the visualization of the First and Second World War and created something that may be nice to look at, but otherwise it is completely stupid. Luckily, there is Chris Pine alongside Gal Galdot and he was probably even better than her. His role was once again amazing, which I cannot say about the antagonist, portrayed by David Thewlis. His acting was good, but as an enemy he qualifies at a similar level as a nice uncle with moustache and candy. The film radiates personality and also quality, but I think it is still not enough to place DC on the same level with movies like Thor or The Guardians of the Galaxy that brought a new level of quality and fun into movies based on comic books.

I don't know. It didn’t bother me, but if I could sleep two hours longer instead of Wonder Woman, I'd probably consider it time better spent. The opening on the island of the Amazons is a feast for the eyes, the action sequences are fine until the Snyder-like CGI-mess kicks in, where everything bangs, lights up, slows down and looks like it's from a stupid video game. And Gal Gadot nails it, she's not a very good actress, but luckily Chris Pine is always next to her and is cool and funny enough to somehow pull it off. Unfortunately, the whole thing is at least half an hour longer than it should have been, the middle section with the shenanigans in London isn't nearly as funny as the filmmakers might have liked, and the messed-up finale sadly shows that Warner still hasn’t learned from the mistakes that plagued their previous films. And I honestly don't know if I'll be in the mood for it next time. (31/05/2017)

This is for me by far the most interesting origin story that DC Comics, and in fact all of the Marvel comics combined, have done to date. You can see that it was made by a woman, so the emphasis is not on CGI, but on the story and it works perfectly. The juxtaposition of wide-eyed Diana vs a new, uncharted world works great and brings a lot of funny situations (the whole cinema was laughing), the setting of the story in World War I is original and unorthodox in comics, and the CGI orgy at the end is easy to digest. Plus it has a strong anti-war appeal, so another thumbs up. And Gal Gadot? As of today, she’s my new heroine. Irresistible in her righteous anger, honest with her astonished surroundings, and not only charming but – how to say – emancipated in the right way, girls must love this. (10/06/2017)
