When the action on screen is more enjoyable than the overall story; that is the time in which to surrender the plot and just get out of the film what you can. It happens more often than you might think but rarely in such a brazen way in which the reboot of Tomb Raider has foisted upon the world and if it wasn’t for the admittedly spectacular stunts pulled off in part by Alicia Vikander, the whole film could be seen as a dramatic failure, only kept alive by the fandom of the indomitable presence that Lara Croft has had on the games industry across three decades.

Wonder Woman, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Gal Gadot, Robin Wright, Chris Pine, David Thewlis, Connie Nelson, Elana Anaya, Lucy Davis, Ewan Bremner, Doutzen Kroes, Danny Huston, Mayling Ng, Eleanor Matsuura, Samantha Jo, Eugene Brave Rock, Saïd Taghmaoui, Emily Carey, Florence Kasumba.

Forget the Testosterone, the heroes of old who have dominated the screen since Michael Keaton first donned the Batman suit, with unbelievable results obviously, for there is a true dominant force on offer, a heroine for the age and one that strikes back at the tired old clichés of femininity and valour, of fearlessness and boldness. For in Wonder Woman, there really is a hero that everybody, boy and girl, man and woman alike, can truly admire and one which takes a huge swipe at the misogyny that has been rampant in cinematic heroes for far too long.
