We then left for the theater to watch the new Wonder Woman movie. We all enjoyed it. There are some mythological elements that I was uncomfortable with (for both religious and literary reasons), the main reveal raised a great deal more questions than provide any sort of "ah ha" moment [although, for history buffs, there is an implication in the reveal that I do not believe was intentional, but certainly has had me thinking], the villains were a bit ... weak, and some of the fight scenes were just ... too much. That said, young Diana is adorable enough to be worth the price of admission alone. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine were remarkably well cast. Like the other movies in this DC universe, some of the shots look like they came directly from a comic book (which is a good thing in my opinion). Plus, I got to see Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright) as a kick-butt Amazon general. The boys said that they liked it even better than Iron Man (which we just recently watched). I don't think that I rank it quite that high, but it's one of the better DC movies (certainly the best in this DC universe -- which doesn't include Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy).
This evening we watched The LEGO Batman Movie. Set in the same universe as The LEGO Movie (which I love), this lighthearted, yet surprisingly deep, comic take on Batman was enjoyable from start (including the opening logos) to finish (although I expected more in the credits). Basically, this movie plays like it came straight out of the imagination of an incredibly funny 11 year old who grew up watching Batman movies and 80s entertainment. There were a quite a few laugh out loud moments. I'm not quite sure where I would rank it in comparison to The LEGO Movie or even other superhero movies, but I certainly plan to watch it again.
