WONDER WOMAN – Rise of the Warrior [Official Final Trailer]
Pretty great movie. You have to be able to suspend disbelief pretty thoroughly, but if you can accept that the Greek Gods were real, you're home free. The introduction of Diana, aka Wonder Woman, into the real world, which happens to be fighting WW1, is pretty well done. Having supernatural abilities does wonders for dealing with red tape. Gal Godot (Diana) is a doll.
Any time I see a movie with people with super-natural abilities, I always wonder if the myths that these characters were drawn from have any basis in reality. Like, was there another advanced civilization on this planet, say, 10,000 years ago? I mean there could have been, and when that civilization collapsed and all their artifacts were ground into dust (by glaciers perhaps), then the only things left were the legends passed down from one generation to the next. And where did legends of fire breathing dragons or gods throwing lightning bolts come from? Military aircraft perhaps? If our civilization collapsed due to some natural disaster and all of our technological marvels were destroyed, how many generations would it be before people no longer believed it might be possible to fly?
