Yay! Yay! Yay!
Just got back from seeing this great movie! To me, this is the best Superhero movie (yet) and perhaps the best movie of the last 30 years.
I thought I was gonna be the only person there, because 2 days ago when I booked my seat, yes, I was the first and only customer. And we are experiencing a major heatwave. But not so today. Maybe 60-70 people. Which is good for box-office sales. Bad news:. 2 seats behind, woman came in with a newly born infant, cooing like a pigeon all through the movie. Two rows in front, a father in his 50's (or so he looked) brought his 3 and 4 year old daughters to see the movie, then spent 2.5 hrs yelling at them for needing to use the restroom and other things. Lastly, 3 seats over from me, two young guys early 20's came in. The one furthest away sat there with his mouth open the entire movie, but his friend, the one closest to me, was on his cell phone every 5 minutes texting with the bright light, you know, the cell phone that is glued to his palm.
Despite all that, WOW for Wonder Woman!! Loved it from the very beginning! The Amazons, island scenes an Amazon armors were terrific. I love the magic lasso glow when in use---perfect!
In a number of scenes, while not for very long, it did appear to me that WW was flying. Otherwise, she would have fell to Earth much sooner. But I do think they did not want to make it too obvious in case they have plans to add the Invisible Jet in one of the later movies.
Ares under the Lasso's influence was interesting as Diana was able to not believe his truth as there truth. Because it was coming from Ares, I didn't believe him either. While Zeus is many things, he was correct in opposing Ares.
Two interesting points: in the closing credits, one of the Amazons is named Trigona! A plant of Ares who is working with Trigon? Hhmmmnnn? Also, one of the the many workers listed in the names is named Maria Hippolyte. OK, this must be Hippolyta's Man's World name! How fitting.
So many thoughts going through my mind, but I wanted to get these points out now.
