Wonder Woman review


Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine among many other talents Gal Gadot shines as the Amazonian Princess Diana Prince. Set in the paradise island of Themyscira, this movie starts out with the origin of the God Of War told to a young Diana by her mother Queen Hippolyta. The Amazons wield the only weapon that can kill a god..the god killer! only to be held by the fiercest of the Amazon warriors.

Fast forward years into the future and we see Diana training and learning her craft to which she injuries her trainer to the point of almost knocking her out completely. Diana riddled with guilt runs to the shoreline and sees a plane crash land into the ocean. It is then that we are introduced to Captain Steve Trevor. Diana's love interest and a member of the British Intelligence.

Both lead roles in this share a really good connection and some of the scenes between them are genuinely hilarious. The scenes where Diana is introduced to things in mans world for the first time are just brilliant and Gal Gadot really looks like she is having a blast. The villains in this are okay I mean they aren't amazing or anything but they do their job well. Dr Poison and General Luddendorf are apart of the German side of things preparing to make a new weapon in a gas form. But it's really Ares The God Of War who is the big bad of this movie. I'm not going to spoil who it is but I was really surprised at his identity when I first saw this. The final battle unfortunately falls into the same trap of other superhero movies. Lot of CGI and building or area breaking. Still it was great to see Diana take on Ares for the first time on the big screen. Small little note but when all is said and done I just love how Diana was emailing Bruce after he sent her that picture that we saw in Batman V Superman. It just furthers expands the universe even just a little bit and it's a nice touch.

All in all this is an epic movie done on a massive scale. Gal Gadot really is Wonder Woman and Chris Pine is a fantastic Steve Trevor. Patty Jenkins delivers what I think is the 2nd best movie to date in the DCEU (Batman V Superman still trumps it for me)

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
