When my roommate asked (OK, begged) me to go see the new Wonder Woman movie, I wasn’t super keen. I’m not really your action movie type of gal, and the whole Marvel/superhero genre has left me a little underwhelmed in recent years.
After convincing me to view the trailer, my roomie fed me a bit of the backstory of Wonder Woman and it piqued my interest. Played by Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman tells the story of young Diana, raised among the Amazonians, a group of powerful female warriors who live on the island of Themyscira. Wonder Woman follows Diana’s journey as she sets out to save mankind from the War God, Aries.

Just left the movie 45 minutes in with a well read Miss 11, who could not cope (understandably) with the graphic world war one scenes. Wonder Woman is a great character but the movie took far to long for her acts of wonder to balance the horrors of war. Not a movie for kids, teens maybe.
Thanks for the heads up Nikkub, my hubby is desperate to see it I'll just make sure I keep it age appropriate for our children :)
