Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Wonder Woman (2017) in Movies

With Marvel already dominating the superhero movie market, Wonder Woman steps up to the plate and knocks it out the park in DC’s new movie that takes us further towards The Justice League.

So a few years ago we had Man of Steel, which had mixed reviews and was a movie that had an extremely long and all out good vs evil battle with Superman vs General Zod over Metropolis!

Then came Batman V Superman, a movie that I personally was hoping would be a version of my favourite Batman comic book, The Dark Knight Returns, sadly this was not to be and although the extended cut is a better version the film was another in the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) that had mixed reviews and a rather long good vs evil battle, it did introduce us to Wonder Woman.

Following on was the next in the franchise, Suicide Squad, again this was another movie that didn’t really go down well with movie fans, which also had a good vs evil fight at the end (I see a pattern) it certainly looked like DC had hit three strikes! So all hope rested on Wonder Woman.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS FOR BEFORE THE ALAMO**
Emilia Altamirano, half Otomí Indian, half pure Spanish, is born in 1814, the year after the Battle of the Medina River, where her father fought as an officer in the Mexican Royalist Army. She grows up in Bexar de San Antonio unacknowledged by her father, raised by her Otomí Indian mother, and “adopted” as an unofficial ward by José Antonio Navarro, hero of the Texas fight for independence from Mexico. She learns to read, write, and acts as a page for the Ayuntamiento (City Council). She learns nursing during a cholera epidemic and later tends the wounded on both sides during and after the Battle of the Alamo. She survives, but as a Tejana, Spanish-speaking, and a loyal citizen of Mexico, she faces an uncertain future.

This movie was everything I ever wanted. I grew up reading the Wonder Woman comic and watching Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman on TV. I was excited for this movie and it delivered. Gal Gadot is wonderful as Wonder Woman. The rest of the cast is great also. The story is interesting and the battle scenes are well done. This whole film was done right and the little girl in me remembered that excitement of seeing Wonder Woman for the first time and how much I loved her and that I love her still.

Hozier- the Irish Troubadour
As I await for what Hozier has in store for in the future, it is a nice reminder to hear this song that showcases the divisive nature of humanity as we are in a constant battle with love, lovers and the such. He understand it and does not make a rule that everyone must follow, he knows something about it: that it is ever changing and never set in stone..

A simple if entertaining action film. A plot that has been done quite a few times now, this time based around a group of assassins taking over a small town every 7 years for a battle royale to find the last one standing. Tons of action in this, some good fights, chase scenes and stunts and quite a bit of blood. The standard of the cast including Ving Rhames, Ian Somerhalder of Vampire Diaries, and the pace of the film raise it above average. Very enjoyable eye fodder!

This was fun to read and see that an angel speaks in this book. It there to help two people. It was sweet to see the two angels battle in the book. The funny things they do to get the two people to listen. I really like it with Jordan that he get different things.

It was kinda different for Rachel. Though Rachel need to understand what happened to her brother and learn about forgiving. You would be surprise with all the things that happen and what comes of it.

LOVE THIS FILM!!!
I can watch this film every day for a week and still love it as much on the Sunday as I did on the Monday!

Robin Williams yet again MAKES this film! His battle with Captain Hook, and learning about his past...


It is funny, light hearted and a perfect film to watch with the family.


Also considering the time it was made, aside from the croc, the effects in this are really good! But I think that the croc looks fake on purpose... or is that just me?

My Quick Spit of Fortnite Battle Royale
Fortnite BR is a beautifully made game developed by Epic Games. It is an immersive multiplayer experience in which 100 players compete to be number one. Getting a victory royale is incredibly satisfying, and the satisfaction is intensified knowing that you had a choice to either take the game fast-paced or slow-paced.

The only downsides to the game are the continuous bugs that keep popping up, but don't let that stop you from playing one of the best games of all time!
