Damsel

Damsel; Not exactly what it seems, yet every bit as predictable as a fairytale. Heightened by big budget effects and the powerful acting of agony by MBB, the realistic take on fantasy content is a bit jarring, unsettling but hard to turn away from. The story is simple yet strongly executed; B-

Wonder Woman 1984

Wonder Woman 1984; Sad misfire. Serves up minuscule amount of action & modicum of humour when 80s era of excess offered comedic & critical opportunities. A big letdown despite clever casting choices. Character still inspires but is soddened by her obsession with one man; C+

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman; Excellent action sequences & well crafted story based on fact & myth. Casting of Gadot is revelatory for the character; B+
