“Wonder Woman” (**1/2 out of four) was a wildly uneven adaptation of the comic-book superhero (Gal Gadot) showing her origins raised on a sheltered island paradise and trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Upon the arrival of a pilot (Chris Pine) who tells her of an outside conflict that’s raging into World War, she then leaves her home to fight the war and discover her true powers and destiny as Wonder Woman. Interesting beginning reminiscent of “Batman Begins” showing her being guided and trained, then hits some real lulls when she leaves the island and it slows down into plodding expedition, and then sputters back to life in a few spectacular action scenes involving the war. A mixed bag overall although the ending does have some real emotional pull. Both Gadot and Pine are strong and have good chemistry together. Handsomely shot by Matthew Jensen.
