Excellent review of new Wonder Woman movie...
No, not this fake one:

This real... animated one:

Whomever is looking at making a feature film of WONDER WOMAN, they should look at this, the first animated Wonder Woman feature for inspiration. It is directed by Lauren Montgomery (SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY) and she has out done herself with WONDER WOMAN.

The film begins with an amazing battle with all sorts of bizarre mythological creatures and what the viewer would think was the Amazonians and Wonder Woman. The battle is furious and brutal. Head lobbings, arm dismemberments... well, you get the idea, it's a war. And the woman that I thought was Wonder Woman... that was Queen Hippolyta (voiced by Virginia Madsen) in her prime. She has that headband thing Wonder Woman wears and the golden lasso. It is... both are used more brutally than I've seen before.

Soon, she's fighting the big baddie of the war, none other than Ares, God of War, himself. Ares is wonderfully voiced by Alfred Molina. The battle rages - and right as Hippolyta is to behead Aries, Zeus (voiced by U.N.C.L.E. agent, David McCallum) interferes and Aries is bound by arm bracelets that keep him from thriving on the energies associated with the suffering of war. At the same time, the women in Queen Hippolyta's charge are to be taken to a sacred secret island where she and the women with her would be kept safe forever in a tropical paradise.

1. I really hope that DC/Warner
starts pumping out some more comic book movies, I know Watchmen is DC, but damn, DC has a good set of heroes who would make excellent additions to the Silver Screen....

I'd hope that Green Lantern, Flash, Green Arrow would come out(as well as another Superman but hey, you know Supes is my number 1).

2. The Grant Morrison run of Doom Patrol would yield a dozen kick-ass movies
With the right director, it could make Hellboy II look like a chick flick.
