2. Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman could prove to be the most important blockbuster of 2017. Already the highest-grossing movie in history to be directed by a woman, its box office total of $708.4m will rise even higher over the next few weeks. Also, as the cheapest, best-reviewed (by far) and most profitable entry in DC's Extended Universe to date, Patty Jenkins' feature has also arguably put the entire DCEU back on track.

Gal Gadot's old-fashioned hero that tries to see the good in everyone makes for a welcome change amongst the angst-ridden characters of action cinema, with some fantastic action sequences that make good use of the movie's contrast between exotic Themyscira and the battlefields of the First World War.

It dips somewhat towards the end, suffering from the DCEU's seeming obligation to end every movie with an overload of ropey CGI and the framing device used to tie it into the bigger universe is a little clunky, but there is no doubt Wonder Woman will be a huge focal point of the DCEU going forward.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
