The boyfriend and I made an impromptu outing for this movie. I thought we'd have to wait weeks until we saw it together but the stars aligned and we were able to go opening weekend. It was an afternoon showing at our local historic theater. I got there first and dashed for two seats in the middle towards the back. There were already people there, a nice little crowd of adults. Once the boyfriend go there (just as the lights went out and the previews came on) my excitement skyrocketed. I had been looking forward to this film for months. The trailers had done an excellent job of getting my attention and keeping it.I was ready to see Wonder Woman kick some ass.
And that she did. The action in this movie was unbelievable, exceeding my expectations. Gadot was a natural on screen, holding her own just like she did in BvS. Chris Pine was a great love interest, never once feeling like he was just added on to look pretty (even though the film definitely poked fun at the role reversal of damsel in distress). This film deserves all the love and praise it's getting. For me, BvS is still the best outing for the franchise. This is a very close second though.
