Review: In this movie that inspires ladies of all ages, Gal Gadot steps into the Wonder Woman boots as Diana of Themyscira who courageously protects her people and travels with stranded American soldier Steve Trevor onto the battlefront of World War I to find Ares, the God of War.  Prior to its release, this film received much hype and definitely delivered an epic superhero movie filled with great acting and female empowerment.  Diana’s termination, drive, and bravery are shown through Gadot in a role that she was born to play.  Diana learns much about the world around her and the people she had never encountered before.  This film is not to be missed.  If you didn’t get a chance to see it in cinemas, I highly recommend renting, buying, or watching it in any way that you can!

P.S. You’re welcome, Christina.  I *finally* did that Wonder Woman review you’ve been asking for since last summer.
