10 Reasons Why You Need To See Wonder Woman

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the new summer blockbuster: "Wonder Woman". Growing up as a kid, I always enjoyed watching the cartoon version of Wonder Woman in the television series "The Justice League." However, I must say this new movie blew everything out of the water in the best way possible. Here are the top 10 reasons why you (and every single person you know) need to see this summer blockbuster:


1. Wonder Woman Serves As A Great Role Model For Young Girls

She is strong and fearless. She teaches little girls not to be afraid. She is everything a fictional role model should be.

2. The Battle Scenes In "Wonder Woman" Are Literally Jaw-Dropping

I was pleasantly surprised on how well each of the battle scenes were filmed. I expected some cheesy fight scenes, with semi-good acrobatics and fake punches, but I was wrong. Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, fought fiercely.

3. Even Though This Is An Action Movie, Throughout The Movie You Find Yourself Laughing Quite A Bit

Throughout the movie I found myself laughing many times. I feel as though it's good to throw a little bit of humor in there, especially in such a serious action film. It lightens the mood of the crowd a bit.

4. The Plot-Line Is Spaced Out Quite Nicely

Some movies skip from scene to scene without fully telling the story, leaving the viewers totally confused. However, the plot-line is sequenced nicely in "Wonder Woman" meaning, it spaces out Wonder Woman's story in the best way possible.

5. It Represents A Turning Point In The Film Industry

Typically the film industry is dominated by men, but this movie serves as an outlier due to its female lead and its female director.

6. "Wonder Woman" Gives A New Take On Recent And Ancient History

This movie is set during WWI, where the world was extremely divided. However, this movie is based around the ancient Greek Gods, giving viewers a taste of the new and the old.

7. This Movie Is An Essential Prelude To The Upcoming Action Movie "The Justice League"

If you are a fan of D.C. Comics and their upcoming movie "The Justice League," then seeing "Wonder Woman" is a necessity before you see the other. Mostly because Wonder Woman will also be starring in that movie as well.

8. It Teaches You To Push Boundaries

Wonder Woman herself pushes the boundaries forced upon her by early 20th century society. She openly walks into room full of only, powerful men and speaks her mind about the topic at hand. She's breaking her expected gender role.

9. It Is The Most Successful Female-Led Film In An Overwhelmingly Male-Dominated Superhero Landscape

The super hero world is intensely dominated by men, so it is a nice change-up to see one of the very few, famous female super heroes getting her own movie. According to CNN.com, it raked in $103.1 million its first weekend at the box office, making it the biggest opening ever for a female director ever.

10. Wonder Woman Emblems Everything A Woman Should Be

She exemplifies everything every woman should be, and want to be. She is strong, passionate, well-voiced, and an overall just a badass. She does not let anyone put her down. Whenever there is an obstacle she figures out a way to get around it. The sky is the limit in her eyes, as it should be in the eyes of every other woman in the world.


We have reached a turning point in Hollywood where you are seeing more and more television shows and movies being led by women - this means both behind and in front of the scenes. "Wonder Woman" is a tremendous example of this, with it being both starred in and directed by two very strong women. Wonder Woman herself, serves a strong, fearless role model for young girls today. These 10 reasons (and many more) should be more than sufficient in convincing you to see this summer's blockbuster, "Wonder Woman".

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
