I'm so excited to get this movie! And people are raving about the Amazing Amazon's flick.
io9 reported:
Indeed, that is the general secret to Wonder Woman's success – the film always manages to strike with its complex elements, whether it's exploring gender relations without sermonizing or embracing Wonder Woman's mythological origins while avoiding too many stilted explanations from the Amazons. The film is also resolutely accessible, requiring no prior knowledge of the characters in a way that wasn't really true of Superman: Doomsday or Justice League: The New Frontier (although there is a cameo at the end that will have any Wonder Woman fans cheering).
Wonder Woman is a film that boldly pushes the DC animated cosmos into more mature territory without sacrificing the sense of joy and, well, wonder that should accompany the introduction of such an iconic character. I can't imagine anyone making a better Wonder Woman movie, although I'd love to see this cast and crew give it a whirl. Bruce Timm mentioned at the panel that, if sales are good enough, there is the possibility of a sequel. I'd be willing to go one better. If ever there was a project deserving of another Timm-helmed animated series, Wonder Woman is it.
This is great news, hopefully this will get the live-action version up and running again.

The Wonder Woman DVD is out today (3/4/09) and Chris Knowles of the blog Secret Sun says that he was one of the people interviewed for the bonus documentaries, as the author of Our Gods Wear Spandex. I'm linking your review of the WW movie there.
By the way, Good Luck, I hope you're accepted to USC Cinema School. I've enjoyed your blog since the election and look forward to the movies you'd bring us.
