I was really happy when I saw the trailer because it’s the movie about a powerful women and that’s so great. And the movie didn’t disappoint me, in fact I think it was really a great movie (and may be I am a big fan of Fantasy Movie 😁).
And I don’t know about any past Wonder Women movie but I can surely say that this is by far great Wonder Women movie. And I suppose everyone see this movie already because if you don’t then your loss 😋.
I was actually waiting for this movie because the trailer was so good and I have to admit that I was actually interested about this movie because of the name. The whole movie all together is not exactly much good but some contents are quite exciting, I mean the main character Valerian’s acting was not much good but instead I like other characters more. The most awesome part of the movie is the planet Mül and their citizen and of course Rihanna’s performance.
