Wonder Woman Trailer Review | SDCC WEEK


Time to talk about the official Wonder Woman Trailer. SWEET LORD WHERE DOES ONE BEGIN? After all the hype from Batman vs Superman and the recent release of the new Justice League trailer, there are high expectations of the upcoming film which is due for release in 2017. It will be interesting to see what the director, Patty Jenkins, has come up with in bringing us the story of Wonder Woman’s origins.  Starring the amazing Gal Gadot whose previous career in the Israeli army certainly granted her the skill set to gracefully smash any action roles with her own stunts. So there is no surprise that Gadot is ideal for the part of playing the Amazonian princess Diana; after all, she is practically the real deal.



The costume has to be one of the best things about the new Wonder Woman. If you were/are a fan of Xena the Warrior Princess like I was, you will definitely appreciate the revamped dark leather armour suit. Not to mention that gorgeous blue dress Diana wears, where the sword looks a part of the dress (GENIUS!). I swear these are the BAMF goals that everyone needs to strive for.  And of course Wonder Woman can’t be Wonder Woman without her golden lasso and shield. Seriously, hats off to the costume department for managing to recreate those Amazonian/Greek mythology vibes while maintaining the Hero we all know and recognise.



The time period of the origin piece is rather interesting and while the war during which the film takes place is not established, rumours have stated it was either during WWI or WWII. Nevertheless, the ancient scenery from Diana’s Mediterranean home, contrasted with the latter parts of the film of her sparring in more modern war zones, definitely amplify the Hero’s otherworldly persona, and with such a wide timeline to work with there are so many possibilities for varying plot lines.



If scenes of bad ass warriors charging into the fray on horseback don’t cause you to have major feelings of going off and joining the Amazonians, then go sit in a corner and surround yourself in a bubble of reality. Pair that with an epic soundtrack and this movie is expected to become another hit of the DC franchise.  Here’s the new trailer to enjoy for yourself! J
