RE: Last film you watched
Wonder Woman
Been a fan of the character ever since I was kid starting from the comics, the tv series with Lynda Carter and of course the JLA animated series and animated movies.
The big screen finally does her character Justice Gal Gadot was perfectly cast as Wonder Woman not only does she look the part but also acts part, when she was first cast I was 100 percent behind where a lot of critics were against it. The two younger actresses that were cast as the younger Wonder Woman were perfectly cast too.
Chris Pine was great and cast perfectly as Steve Trevor you truly believed him as a character and acted as a perfect foil to Gal Gadot and chemistry between the two was fantastic too. Also the film had the right blend of humour & action.
The supporting cast with Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, Robin Wright as Antiope was great never seen her in a action role before but she was great, Lucy Davis as Etta Candy, Saïd Taghmaoui as Sameer, Ewen Bremner as Charlie, Eugene Brave Rock as The Chief, David Thewlis as Sir Patrick, boxer Ann Wolfe as Artemis all great.
What I liked with the film was they used a simple nothing complex which worked perfectly also the photography in this film is stunning especially when there on the island it's all bright and beautiful but the transition from the island to London is very different perfectly showing harshness of World War 1. Right from the start to the finish of the influence of Richard Donners 'Superman The Movie' which director Patty Jenkins was massive fan of the movie.
I also liked how Wonder Woman was a fish out of water when she was London and aboard she has this honest, love And innocence but certain events open her eyes to reality of how the world really is the film really strikes home with current events in this world. The film is was very good at playing up emotions again without spoiling some of it was thought provoking you kinda understand why her character is so different by Batman v Superman timeline.
I thought the villains were good nothing striking about them Elena Anaya as Dr Maru/Dr Poison was fucking creepy, Danny Huston as Ludendorff was very good and good performance from Huston, there is another twist but I won't spoil that but if you know the comics especially the DC 52 and DC Rebirth is a big influence.
I loved the fight scenes which were fucking Awesome she could Superman a run for his money that's all I can say, the special effects were great. The romance was done just right not down your throat, the sound track was great and went well with the different scenes. There's a loads of Easter Eggs in the film too which was a real treat.
Overall really this film it felt different and refreshing and it was great seeing a big female character such as Wonder Woman done right.
9.6+/10.

RE: Last film you watched
Quadrophenia(1979) Based on the 1965 'mods and rockers' fights in Brighton, Phil Daniels skilfully plays a fairly complex role as a mod which develops and becomes more complicated as the film progresses. There is a realistic feel to the dialogue, performances and the violence which overcomes the sometimes rambling plot line. The soundtrack, mostly comprising The Who songs is excellent. A host of familiar faces,many at the start of their careers appear, including Phil Davis, Sting, Mark Wingett, Leslie Ash, Ray Winstone and Toyah Willcox. Also starring Michael Elphick and Kate Williams. 7/10
