Wonder Woman (2009) (Blu Ray) - 8/10

It's always cool being introduced to these DC characters like Wonder Woman with these sick new Blu Ray Animated movies that are slowly being released. In the wake of Batman Gotham Knight and Hulk/Thor vs. Wolverine, this is by far the best comic book direct to video movie i've seen yet. Pretty much detailing the origins of Wonder Woman through Greek mythology, this Blu Ray looked great and had some very cool fight scenes that elevated it above the regular saturday morning cartoon. Some of things that really made this work for me was the male pilot who, voiced by Nathan Fillion, pretty much hits on Wonder Woman the entire movie and brings some great comic relief amidst this battle of gods and supernatural creatures. Moving from locations in the Underworld to an invisible island and eventually ending up in Manhattan, the way that we see Wonder Woman use her powers against Aries and other criminals proves funny because she thinks all men are just pigs and basically just kicks the crap out of them all. With some great aerial battle and a huge superhero fight through the white house and DC, this movie was everything that I had hoped and more, giving me hope that the new Green Lantern movie will be even better.
