Storyline

In antiquity, the Amazons defeat the war god, Ares, and Zeus charges them to hold him prisoner as eternally young warriors on the hidden island of Themyscira. Centuries later, US Air Force pilot Steve Trevor is lured to crash land on the island and the distraction of that trespass allows Ares to escape. In response, Princess Diana wins the responsibility to both take Trevor home and recapture the fugitive god. Steve Trevor offers to help and together this disparate pair must not only overcome Ares' efforts to achieve a bloody revenge, but also reconcile their own conflicting world views in an adventure that would be the first for the greatest of the female superheroes.

On the island, Diana has some difficulty subduing Steve Trevor, presumably a slightly-above average human strength-wise, yet later she shows she can effortlessly lift a desk with one and and battle a Greek god.

User Reviews

One of the best DC Comics movies

Now this movie has got me to love this DC Comics super-heroine. When Steve Trevor an U.S. Army fighter pilot, crash-lands on the mystical island of Amazons called Themyscira. The rebellious and headstrong Princess Diana defies her queenly mother by accompanying Trevor back to civilization. Meanwhile, Ares the god of war, has escaped his imprisonment at the hands of the Amazons and has decided to exact his revenge: intending to start a world war that will not only last for centuries but will wipe out every living being on the planet, starting with the Amazons! It is up to Diana to save her people and the world by using her gifts and becoming Wonder Woman!

This is an awesome movie. It is very well written, and the animation is really cool! One of the best DC movies along with the live-action Batman movie. The story was perfect, funny full of suspense and really worth the PG-13 rating. I don't have a favorite scene (as I said many times), because I love the WHOLE film from beginning to end.
