With Wonder Woman coming to theaters in only four days it only makes sense that I review the 2009 animated movie. By the way I'm full aware that there is a 1974 film (if any of who didn't know that then congratulations I just told you something new) and I tried watching it online but there wasn't a version of it I could really sit through it was either broke down into parts or the quality of it wasn't very good. So I decided to review the 2009 movie.


Wonder Woman is a 2009 animated direct-to-video superhero film. It's produced by Warner Animation, Warner Premiere, DC Comics, and MOI Animation and distributed by Warner Home Video. It's directed by Lauren Montgomery and written by Gail Simone and Michael Jelenic.


The story is Diana has completed a series of test to take Steve Trevor back to civilization aka "man's world". While that's going on Ares has escaped his prison and plans to wreak havoc.



  • Negatives

There are two plot holes that I found in this movie. One is we don't know how Wonder Woman got her invisible jet. It just appears no back story or anything. The another one is during the final fight the President of the United States launches a missle to Themyscira but how does he know where it is? It's not a lucky guess the missle goes straight to the island before Steve blows it up.



  • Mix

Nothing to say so let's move on.



  • Positive

One thing I like about this movie is the animation. The style is very different & unique.


The movie also gives us great action. One of my favorite scenes is the opening battle with Ares & the fight between Wonder Woman & Ares. The action is awesome and you just want more on it.


One of my favorite scenes in this movie is when Steve & Diana are in a hospital after their first encounter with Ares. Wonder Woman claimed since she's a woman of course he rescued her. Then Steve calls her out saying we don't open doors or pull out chairs because we think women are weak we do it because we care & want to be nice. He also had a good point how it was a bad idea for the Amazons to leave man's world because the last thing they needed was less communication. It's an amazing & well done scene.


The movie also gives some characters that aren't Diana & Steve their own shining moments. For more instance Alexa she went from bookworm from the beginning then she lead an army of undead Amazons during the final battle. That is great filmmaking.


Now on to the voice acting. It's very good. I especially give praise to Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor he was perfectly casted for this role.




Wonder Woman(2009) has stunning animation, awesome action scenes, that scene where Steve tells Diana off was brilliant, characters whether big or small get their moments & the voice acting is spot on. The only problems are those two plot holes I mentioned above.



My final rating for this movie is Great
