Friday’s openings: The Woman is a Wonder

Dan Webster

By now we should know not to expect too much, but advance word on the new DC superhero flick "Wonder Woman" is pretty good. That movie, which stars the stunning Gal Gadot, is one of two releases on Friday's national schedule. The menu is:

"Wonder Woman": Gadot stars as the Amazon princess who decides to intervene in the affairs of men, which — as usual — involve war. Only to paraphrase the line from "Pulp Fiction," "That's how you're gonna beat 'em, Diana. They keep underestimating you."

"Captain Underpants: The Firs Epic Movie": Based on the kids' novels by Dav Pilkey, this animated venture revolves around two pals who hypnotize their school principal into thinking he is the superhero Captain Underpants. Insert laugh track here.

I'll update as the schedule settles.
