A-The main
reason why it is considered to be the best superhero movie in DC in recent years is not how good the story is or how exciting the action scene is, but because it finally made up for the shortcomings of the previous ones: added Sense of humor and funny characters. Although the story is surreal, because of the creation of the characters, it has laid a strong emotional foundation. In the end, there are no lack of tears after the laughter. When an entertainment blockbuster really makes the audience happy, and can still be moved later, it basically succeeds.

Someone once said, "Play the most exciting part of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" ten times in a row. This may be the feeling that "Wonder Woman" will bring to the audience." of. Whether it’s an action scene or a costume styling, I’ve already experienced it in Super Bat, and the reason why this film looks good is because it shows what Diana, who can not play, has gone through to become today’s Wonder Woman. Man. And this process is full of fun and sadness. On the one hand, her behavior as an alien after coming to human society caused a lot of laughter, but on the other hand, the love story between her and her boyfriend fighting side by side and influencing each other is enough to make people cry.

In my opinion, "Wonder Woman" is not an action movie or a war movie. The reason why it looks good is that she is a love story with a perfect actor and a dazed American sweet lady, but in the end The ending is not as clichéd as a general love comedy, but a woman is reborn as a rebirth. From this point of view, it is very similar to "Gone with the wind": a love story in the flames of war. Later, the director confirmed my idea. She said that the role of Chris Pie was inspired by the role of Clark Gable in "Gone with the Wind".

In fact, this film mainly shows the source of Wonder Woman, and after watching it, we know that the reason why Diana became Wonder Woman is not just due to her own strength. The role of Steve Trevor, played by Chris Pie, is the main reason why she truly understands humans, accepts humans, and decides to stay and save them.

And Steve’s adaptation to her was of course gradual. At the beginning, he had to molest and give orders, but then Diana’s words and deeds naturally made him "stunned" every time, and he had no choice but to look at her with admiration. Accepting the reality of "this woman is unusual", she was gradually overwhelmed by her.

In my opinion, the role of Steve is the main reason for the success of the film. Most of the time, he was on behalf of the audience, examining this goddess who came from outdoor Taoyuan and did not eat human fireworks. Sometimes he thought she was funny, helpless for her stubbornness, and sometimes in awe. He had been tortured physically and mentally exhausted by the flames of war. He had also thought about being a hero, but found that his abilities were really limited. At a time of depression and abandonment, this "alien beauty" gave him hope again. For Diana, Steve was the first human being she saw and changed her view of humans, allowing her to understand that humans were more complicated than she thought. It was also because of Steve's bravery and love that Diana had compassion and trust in humans, and it was only then that one of the members of the Zhenglian we saw later: Wonder Woman was born.


In most superhero movies, the protagonist’s admiration is just a foil, not the root cause of the superhero. Although Wonder Woman was born in the flames of war, she was sublimated by love. I think it was Steve who made the Wonder Woman today, and the director made this male character very full and likable. This is why there are no other male superheroes to steal the spotlight. Steve is not a supporting role, he is the absolute actor of the film; he is not a superhero, but he is definitely a hero.

    The rhythm of the first and second acts of the story is really good, but it’s a pity that the final battle... ST three movies I didn’t get the look of your school, I got it in this one, and finally I burst into tears. Now, how nice it is to combine the ending of Steve and the ending of US Team 1. By the way, the first half of WW always reminds me of Moana in Pocahontas...

    The first feeling is Bright, as if not in DCEU. Set the tone for being close to the people. It is very good, not only for the women's Premier League, but also fortunately that it is the beginning of a universal adaptation. This is worthy of full marks. Every outfit of the princess is handsome and bleeding, Paipai drives brazenly all the way, and Ares's contrasts meet expectations. By the way, DC's LOGO new title is thrown away from the M family variety show fragments to collect a few streets!
