Wonder Woman

Being directed by a woman, having a female superhero in the lead, and being part of the same series that Suicide Squad is a part of, it's no wonder many people were skeptical that Wonder Woman would be even considered good. However, this is the film that elevates the DC Extended Universe closer to the levels of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wonder Woman is a nearly flawless film that's a game changer, not only for the superhero genre but to many female based action oriented films as a whole. Gal Gadot is perfect as Wonder Woman and has nailed everything in this movie that was missing from Dawn of Justice such as her love for humanity, her belief in man, and her misunderstanding of the outside world. This film proves that, thanks to the hard work by Patty Jenkins, female directors can make successful big budget films. The World War One setting fits very well with the story, the humor works all the way, the story is told better than the last DCEU films, Chris Pine has amazing chemistry with Gadot, and the film is just so fun to watch. Though there are still some parts that don't always work like the many uses of slow motion or that it doesn't answer why if Ares is killed then why there's still war going on after the first World War. Over all: 100%
