If there’s one Hollywood movie that I’m so excited to watch
this year, that’s Wonder Woman. Personally I like superhero films (I collect
original VCDs and DVDs) and action movies top billed by females such as Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Salt (Angelina Jolie), Charlie’s Angels, and So
Close ( Asian movie). And of course, I am thrilled about Gal Gadot.
Who were Wonder Woman and Gal Gadot for me?
I am aware na there’s
a TV show before na wonder woman and she’s hot. But
siempre here in the Philippines, Darna is our Pinay superhero. Whether which comes first or the copycat, basta I grow
up with Darna. Since I am introduced to Marvel Cinematic Universe and
DC Comics, siempre I am thrilled to see how they gonna make Wonder Woman in modern
times. Ang trip ko din sa DC ay darker and realistic approach, although I
noticed na parang robotics yung
pagka-landing ng mga superhero. Iyon ay Either not so smooth, too artificial, or di lang ako sanay. Enter
Gal Gadot!
Once ko palang s'ya napanood sa The Fast and the Furious ( yun namatay ang character n'ya roon at buhay
pa sa Paul Walker). I like her doon, she’s thin but strong and oozing with appeal. Iyon lang, compare to other seksi superheroes whether sa comics or
movies, it was hard to imagine how she gonna be a wonder woman. But I believe,
she can do it and I like the idea pa nga ng ganun. Tipong Surprise us with your transformation
and interpretation. Aanhin mo naman kasi
kung seksi kung hindi naman makapag-deliver. So from the start, I believe in her and the
people who chose her to be the famous powerful amazona disguised as Diana
Prince.

Review: The bad sides of Wonder
Woman
I don’t have many concerns sa movie. Mas concern pa nga ako
naka-3D glass ako kasi dahil may mannerism ako when I watch ( patagilid
tumingin at nakahawak sa sintido). Pero
yun lang, sa visual effects especially
sa pag-landing at pagtalon, halata na artificial. It as if I am watching
animated character.
Then sa story, since this is my first time to know Wonder
Woman talaga kaya go go go at may pagka-mythical pala s’ya (not alien like Superman) at demigoddess na umibig sa taga lupa (sounds like
Okay Ka Fairy ko). Kaya doon tayo sa flow ng story… I’m sort of disoriented when
Sir Patrick Morgan morphed as Ares ( god of war). I like how tricky it was to know who’s Ares
among the villains but it’s not really hard to guess that. I think in the fighting scenes na nila ako na
parang “what this?” Not so smooth na cut-to-cut ng fighting scenes,
napaka-artificial at gulong-gulong ang lola mo sa buhay. Parang ano ba girl, give up na lang sa semento. Parang
mas interesado pa ako sa side ni Steve Trevor’nung ipinalipad n'ya na yung
eroplano. Yun lang! So konti sa effects at editing.
The Good sides of Wonder Woman
Madami for me.
Gal Gadot is
impressive. Acting wise and in fighting scenes, she’s good. Hindi mo kakikitaan na mahina at pa-demure na obvious na makaporma lang. Hindi rin
naman to the point na manly na tingnan
(inaalala ko pa saan ko napanood yun pero meron), kundi palaban lang at
inosente sa ano ba dapat ang galaw baabe. Yung sa trailer na kung saan nasa isang room na
pinalo s'ya ng tubo, wow na wow ako roon. I don’t care kung mix pa yun ng
totoo or effects, pero yung acting at move n'ya roon just wow!
Steve Trevor.
Napanood ko na si Chris Pines sa This
Means War at pa-tweetums s’ya doon though guapo na. Pero dito, I thought eye candy s'ya
bilang si Steve Trevor noong una, pero hindi rin. Maganda character niya bilang love interest,
hindi over at under na masyado na s'yang na-overshadow ni Diana Prince. At the end of the day, he proves that “love” is something powerful.
Kahit pa hindi pa ito ideal o kahit sino pa ang nagbigay nito. It’s what you believe di ba, not what you deserved. Charr!
Other characters. Okay naman ang supporting cast like Connie Nielsen
(Queen Hippolyta), Danny Huston ( General Erich Ludendorf), Lucy Davis as Etta Candy, and Elena
Anaya (Isabel Maru / Doctor Poison).
Parang nakulangan lang ako ng konti kay Dr. Poison, gusto ko mas pathetic
pa buhay n’ya buhahaha!
Costumes. I like
all the costumes of Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman! Gusto ko yung naka-sunglasses sya at naka-hat,
then siempre yung arrive nya na umaakyat sa hagdan.
All in all nagustuhan ko ang Wonder Woman at mukhang may
aabangan na naman ako film series.
