Overview

Wonder Woman Storyline

Wonder Woman follows Diana, princess of Themyscira, who leaves her hidden island home after American pilot Steve Trevor crashes nearby and brings news of World War I. Believing Ares, the god of war, is behind humanity’s destruction, Diana enters the world of men to stop him. Based on DC Comics’ legendary Amazon warrior, the film became one of the defining superhero successes of the modern era. Wonder Woman is a DC Comics screen adaptation from 2017, sitting in the wider Comic Movie DB archive as one of the movie entries that helps connect page-to-screen storytelling beyond the obvious cape-and-cowl crowd. The page is especially useful for readers tracking the people involved, with Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Danny Huston, Gal Gadot, Robin Wright among the main names connected to the project. Behind the camera, Patty Jenkins gives the adaptation its shape, helping define whether it leans more into spectacle, character drama, genre thrills or straight-up comic-book chaos. We have rated this 9 out of 10, which makes it a worthwhile entry to revisit when comparing how well comic properties translate across different studios, eras and audience expectations. For SEO and fan discovery, it belongs here because it adds context to the bigger comic movie timeline: not every adaptation has to be perfect, but each one says something about the genre, the audience it was chasing and the kind of stories studios believed could work on screen.

Wonder Woman Review 9/10

9

We have rated this 9 out of 10. Wonder Woman works because it understands that Diana’s strength is not just power—it is compassion. Gal Gadot brings warmth and conviction, Chris Pine gives the story real heart, and the No Man’s Land sequence instantly became one of the best superhero scenes of the decade. Patty Jenkins balances myth, war drama and heroism beautifully. It was not just a hit—it felt like a genuine cultural moment for DC and superhero cinema.
