The DC movie youve been waiting for has finally arrived.

This is a superior popcorn movie, no matter what the genre.

And, my gosh, is that a refreshing surprise.

This Diana is startlingly pure of heart and clear-eyed in her vision.

Shes a neat sort-of throwback to the circa-1978Superman, which was similarly anchored by a superhero of intense goodness.

Its a fine counterpoint in a franchise so often given over to so-called dark and gritty sensibilities.

(Itswonderful, she tells the vendor.

He should beproud.)

If Gal Gadots all-too-brief appearance inBatman v Supermanwas promising, she fulfills that potential and then some inWonder Woman.
