SHE’S A HIT!
Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot and
Patty Jenkins ... the reviews are in
and the film has resonated well with
movie critics and fans.
Browsing Rotten Tomatoes, the of-
ficial Tomatometer has given Won-
der Woman a very good 93% with
243 “Fresh” reviews as against 18
“Rotten” reviews.
Reviewers generally agree that it’s
Gal Gadot that makes the movie.
As Time Magazine’s Stephanie
Zacharek says:
“Gadot is simply marvelous.
Physically, she’s bold and
commanding. But there’s a
sweetness about her too, as if
she and Jenkins understand
intuitively that Wonder Woman
can’t just be blandly awesome.
She’s got to be able to feel
wonder too. Gadot carries the
movie through even its sloggi-
est parts, most notably the big
action sequences that pile up
at the end.”
Fans too loved it with an average
rating of 4.5 out of 5 - with over
71,000 ratings, and with a box of-
fice taking of over $300 million in its
first first days, the film set a record
for the biggest opeing weekend for
a female-directed movie.
This is good news for the super hero
genre, after some poor reviews for
both Batman vs Superman and Sui-
cide Squad not doing so well with
fans and critics. There’s even been
some talk of Oscar nomination... for
a super hero genre film!
Over the next few pages we take
a look at the history of Wonder
Woman, the movie characters and
we even had the cosplay commu-
nity send us their Wonder Woman
cosplays!
