The film opens on the island of Themyscira, a paradise island created by the god Zeus and hidden from the
real world by a protective shield, and the film stays there for a while as we follow Diana from curious
little girl to fully trained warrior
princess but once Steve Trevor's fighter plane crashes there and Diana realises there is a war being fought in world she does not know of that is not too far away then we swiftly get brought into London in 1918 and this shift from fantasy into a «
real world» scenario gives the film a greater sense of depth, and when combined with characters that you actually care about then Wonder Woman is head and shoulders above all of the other DCEU movies on the strength of that alone.
Takes the Disney
princess and puts her in the
real world, creating a chick flick with a
little bit of edge, a whole lot of heart and and even more chemistry between the film's two leads.
