Gal Gadot owns the role as Wonder Woman, Chris Pine is great as Steve Trevor, the direction by Patty Jenkins is first rate and the script is very solid.

From all the superhero films, this was one of the most anticipated. Mainly because of the woman oriented theme. People were desperate to see the solo woman superhero. Today, we have the great visual effects technology, that anything can be possible to bring on to the screen. And actress like Gal Gadot, even better it gets. Yes, it was a wonderful film. A simple storyline, but a well made film.

The Amazonians who are cut off from the rest of the world, is preparing for the battle if Ares returns. All these years nothing has happened, but one day a fighter pilot crash on the cost of their island. Then the princess embark a journey back with him to find, and end the Ares threat forever. But she only ends up in the WWII, and what happens in the following sequence are the rest of the film.

Who would have done a better job than Patty Jenkins. She nailed it, and so set to direct the sequel too. Even the supporting cast was good. DC's visuals always high standards and so this one. Action sequences too amazing. There's lots of changes in the character, as well as in everything. Firstly a nice superhero costume. And connections like Diana's father, the island, all pretty nicely written out. The DC universe just got extended. I can't wait to see 'Justice League'.

This is definitely one of the best DC movies. It's funny and filled with action. The cinematography is especially beautiful in this film although the main antagonist is a bit of a let down.

It also never got to political, which was amazing and made me not hate the statement it was making. My only flaw is the Villain reveal.… Expand

I only seemed to come on here and leave feedback on movies that pissed me off and took my money. So here I am trying to remedy that with what I thought was one of the best superhero movies ever presented on the big screen. The director Patty Jenkins deserves to take the DC Universe on her back and run with all future movies. She obviously has a flair for it. Only Thor:Ragnarok was more enjoyable this year, and that was because it was friggin funny and fun.

The telling of Wonder Woman was long overdue. She is a legend in the superhero world of comics and after seeing it she might be the greatest of them all. Gal Gadot is breathtakingly beautiful, but she has the acting chops and athleticism to play this role. I believe in her and Patty Jenkins got me to do so. Both ladies deserve awards of some kind, and I hope it is Oscars, but will gladly take anything they get from the fans who are the reason movies are made. If you have not seen any superhero movie yet for whatever reason you hold onto, please break that glass on your opinionated inner-self and go see this one. You will appreciate you did.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wonder Woman hits all the right beats, it's got good action and a lot of heart. Unlike Superman, she's actually vulnerable to bullets, which gives the film more tension. Gadot is a bit one-note, but that works for most of the film, and her relationship with Chris Pine is endearing and feels natural. There are a few moments when the film flirts with being something more, but the finale doesn't quite live up and ends up being more standard fare. It seems a bit weird to defeat the God of War by out-fighting him, rather than out-thinking him. You'd think Ares would be unstoppable in a fight, and the film seems ready to end with Ares seeing the good in humanity, but then he just kind of growls and keeps fighting. Seems like a lost opportunity. And it's a bit dissonant to see Wonder Woman bemoaning war while she slaughters her way through dozens of soldiers, clearly killing them instead of disarming or incapacitating them. There are a number of smaller issues as well, the film sets up quite a few side-plots that never really develop at all. We're introduced to a number of quirky side characters, but their quirks never amount to anything. The CG was also quite poor: you've got a $150 million budget and yet the lasso of truth looks laughably bad, and why does she need to be in front of green screen for the trench shot, which is basically just a muddy field with some smoke in the background.… Expand

I wrote this review in one of my blogs in June. I saw Wonder Woman Thursday night and I will start off by saying Warner Brothers pulled a rabbit out of the hat. The metaphor fits in more than one way. But in this case it is about going backI wrote this review in one of my blogs in June. I saw Wonder Woman Thursday night and I will start off by saying Warner Brothers pulled a rabbit out of the hat. The metaphor fits in more than one way. But in this case it is about going back to old school. Rabbit out of the Hat is a classic magic trick for the ages. This film may not quite be one for the ages, but it is done in classic style.

This movie did something that so many films today fail to do. They decided to go back to the timeless idea that a good movie should always tell us a good story. Storytelling is a lost art in Hollywood these days, what with all the explosions, fake blood, super aliens, and wise cracks, that allow a good movie to get away with a wobbly story. But a great movie can not be great without at least a solid B+ story.

Patty Jenkins gives us simple, but well thought out story and presents it with emotion, humor, superpowers, explosions, and of course bloodthirsty Germans, gotta have that right? Wonder Woman doesn’t try too hard to be all things, like Batman v Superman did. We all know how well that worked out. No, Warner Brothers went to the age-old well of storytelling that all of us have always enjoyed dating back to our earliest memories. “Hey Grandpa, tell me story about the olden days…”

And so they did. They went back a hundred years so grandpa had to tell a story that his grandma told him, methinks. This did not need to be a super hero movie featuring one of the greatest of all comic book characters to be good. The story was good. This is a period piece and WB did an excellent job of immersing us in the WWI era. Industrial Age London comes alive with reasonable period costumes and all the modern trickery that made the city of London look like that smelly, smokey **** hole it was in 1917.

The story they give us, was well done, not fantastic, not the greatest ever told, but a solid well spun tale. While telling us a story about the malleable soul of man and the nature of what we are, we also get a story about a great war with a decent bit of historical value, and a diabolical plot by a powerful antagonist. We get a nice twist in the story and a villain we don’t expect. We get some superhero kick ass, we get a little Shakespearian drama, we get a fair amount of funny, and Patty Jenkins pulls off making Wonder Woman look so epic all the time. Just standing there she looks like a boss.

This was a really great story. I am not certain why they went to WWI instead of WWII but that’s OK because I was getting a little tired of all the Nazis over there in the Marvel Universe. A little classic ‘Kaiser’ was a nice change of villainous scenery.

As I predicted in the last article, Ms. Gadot delivers. She has it all, the class, the grace, the style, and when needed the ultimate bad ass complete with a full shot of intense. She is regal and she is a frickin’ boss on the battlefield. What the hell more do we need than that?

Chris Pine continues to impress me. He plays the same character in this film as he does in Star Trek and he even has the same rank. But he gives us a fine performance as the mortal hero to contrast our demigod title character.

At the end of the film I did feel they made her just a tick too powerful. My beef with Superman has always been that he is basically God and of course they created Kryptonite to give him a weakness. Diana gets a little too close to the Kryptonians on the power meter, but that is a minor issue that is quite forgivable.

I would ask you to sit through the entirety of the movies long credit roll so you can see the epic Bruce Wayne after credit scene, but there isn’t one so stay if you want. If the 42oz soda is calling you to the restroom, it’s safe to go, I stayed and there was no after credit scene.

My friends this film isn’t the best superhero movie, but what I really like about it is the storytelling; this is great storytelling. The movie had some holes and they probably left some stuff on the cutting room floor that should have been left in. With a 2:21 running time though, I understand the cuts. We are left with a nice clean origin story in a historical context, and all the great superhero stuff needed for a great superhero movie.

This is the best DC movie ever made not featuring the Bat. DC is back and they mean business. Sure, there are many little gripes I could write about, but I won’t, because I left the theater with a buzz like I did when I was ten years old and grandma spun a wild yarn about the olden days. Hollywood needs to give us a lot more movies like this.

Wonder Woman packs all the punches that its previous hugely male-dominated heroes and villains (Superman, Batman, Suicide Squad) could not muster. Not speaking as a feminist here but Wonder Woman had me rooting for her, falling for her, then some more. It goes to show that when you put faith in the right director (Patty Jenkins) and let her do her thing, the result can be good, great or in this case, spectacular. Can't say the same about Zack Snyder's efforts thus far. If there ever were a saving grace for DC, this is it. Wonder Woman is absolutely wonderful (pardon the pun) and DC should keep it that way, for all our sake.… Expand

A solid film, but it doesn't do much to distinguish itself. A fun way to kill two hours but don't expect to be thinking about it too much for long after. Still better than BVS where I thought about how horrible it was for months after seeing it.

Gal is Wonder Woman. Pine has portrayed a likable Steve Trevor. The Supporting cast work in most.
A few problems could be pointed to weak CGI, Villain problems, and slow-mo actions.

Other than that, it's a step right in DC Films Direction. Hopefully Justice League, Aquaman, and Shazam will follow this movie's Success.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wonderwoman is well, well ahead of the other DCEU films, rivalling some of MCUs best. It didn't focus on the fact that the lead role is a she at all, which was a major relief. SFX were very good, and Jenkins balanced the action and non-action quantities expertly. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine's chemistry was amazing, creating some funny and some beautiful moments between Diana and Steve. This film had one of the best endings I've seen in a long time, the death of Steve (at least for me and the group I saw it with) totally unexpected and very, very sad, due to the brilliant acting by Gadot and Pine before, in some of the more intimate moments in the film. You really feel for Gal at the end, wrapped up in her metal prison watching Steve blow him and the plane to smithereens. The sole con worth mentioning is the villains were once again too straightforward, lacking in depth and overall 'wow factor'.

Overall, a film well worth the ticket money, and significantly better than the other DCEU films currently available for viewing pleasure. Go see it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich habe mich sehr auf diesen Film gefreut, wurde er doch allerorten als der beste DC-FIlm seit Nolans Batman-Trilogie angepriesen. Auch die Trailer versprachen gut gemachtes Comic-Popcorn-Kino. Leider habe ich mich dann doch ziemlich gelangweilt, denn die guten Sachen wurden irgendwie im Trailer schon verballert und der Rest war ein (gut gemachtes) CGI-Gewitter mit einer lahmen Story, vielen Logikfehlern und einem Endgegner, der peinlicher nicht hätte sein können.

Da gibt es also eine durch einen Nebel geschützte Insel. Aha. Und der mächtige Gott des Krieges rafft es nicht, sie zu finden... und ein Flugzeug und mehrere Boote fahren halt einfach mal rein und hoppla!! Eiiiine Insel mit zwei Bergen... komisch, daß in mehreren Jahrhunderten kein Schiff sich rein verirrt hat.
"Ich zeige Dir den Weg von der Insel." - Paddelpaddel... einfach nur vom Anleger geradeaus.
Wir müssen driiingend zum Parlament, das Buch abgeben!! Oy, gehen wir erstmal shoppen.
Nur ein Bsp.

Dann die dummen Dialoge teilweise, die irgendwie witzig sein sollen. "Bla bla bla, ich mache das, was er mir sagt." "Bei uns nennt man das Sklaverei." - Klar, nur, daß sie sehr gut dafür bezahlt wird, die Definition von Sklaverei ist da ne andere.
Streckenweise ist der film ganz witzig, verkrampft sich aber ständig zwischen erzwungener Komik, infantilen sexuellen Anspielungen und irgendwelchem Geschnulze.

Die Bösewichte kommen massiv zu kurz (und es sind mal wieder die Deutschen. Gääähn.). Ludendorff und seine Chemikerin werden viel zu lasch in Szene gesetzt. Und am Ende (o wer hätte wohl nicht gedacht, daß da doch noch was kommt?) ergießt sich alles im mächtigsten Witz des Films. Ares, der Gott des Krieges, der Endgegner, der Vernichter, der Betrüger etc. pp. ist ein alberner Bürokrat mit häßlichem Schnauzer. Er verwandelt sich dann in einen rasenden und fliegenden Krieger in Metallrüstung - aaaber: Hauptsache, er behält seinen Schnorres!! Dafür kratzt er sich extra ne Aussparung in den Helm, damit man den flatternden Suppensieb auch ja noch sieht.
Das war so dermaßen lächerlich.

Die Effekte waren nett und zahlreich - es ist halt mal wieder ein Film, der für viel Geld vor dem Green Screen entstanden ist. Das war abzusehen und ist auch nicht so schlimm, aber die Story und die Charaktere tragen das ganze zu wenig, sodaß der Film einfach billig wirkt, auch wenn er das nicht ist.

So sind vor allem Gal Gadot und auch Chris Pine recht überzeugend, auch wenn Pine nicht viel zu tun hat. Er is halt da, trägt aber nicht wirklich etwas zum Film bei. Der hätte auch ohne ihn ablaufen können. Aber man braucht eben einen halbwegs unnötigen Love Interest, damit das ganze nicht völlig zum feministischen Einheitsbrei absackt. Also gibt es noch etwas Schnulz. Ansonsten sind die Sidekicks weitgehend blaß.

Hier wurde insgesamt wieder Potenzial verschenkt und ich frage mich, wann man Zack Snyder endlich verbietet, Filme zu machen. Jedenfalls bei DC.

Der Soundtrack ist gut, aber oft zu einseitig, es klingt vieles gleich und das geniale Wonder Woman-Thema kommt auch zu kurz.… Expand

The beginning of the movie on her secluded island is kind of rushed. Conflict shows up way too quickly and when an "important" character is lost I realized she really didn't have much screen time or lines.
I did like, at first, how Diana was a little young and naive when she stepped out into the real world but then I found it annoying as she didn't catch on to how the world really works. She came across as whiny far too often, just like in the clip on this page above.
The side characters were varied and interesting but, again, we really didn't get to know them aside from the main characters.
I found the Ares identity reveal really contrived. The character he was posing as was really in no place to push world war and was actively trying to do the opposite by signing an armistice with the enemy. Seemed forced just for the shock effect. I would have been happier if there was no physical embodiment of war and Diana just realized that violence was inherently a part of man. So, no lesson learned on her part.
Was the beginning of this movie happening during the events of Batman vs Superman? Was that connection or jump through time really needed at all?
A hero's sacrifice at the end of the movie all seemed forced and unnecessary.
Wonder Woman had some great fight scenes and has one of the best superhero scores of this decade. I loved the WWI setting because WWII seems to be more of a focus in Hollywood.
This was definitely the best of the DC films to date, but not the second coming as some are claiming.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Extremely overrated movie. In short :
_ Writing : incoherent, unsurprising, cliché'd, tries to me misandrist and still manages to be an insult to feminism.
_ Acting : decent, except for Gal Gadot, who can't be seriously be called an actress, she's just a pretty face.
_ Visuals : pretty nice but some Wonder-Woman moves seem completely failed, i was under the impression they sometimes just pressed fast forward to give us the impression something was quick, it looks bad on screen.

Clichés everywhere : you have the drunk Scottish fighting in a bar, the Indian doing smoke signals, the Arab who can sell anything, the "Doctor Poison" with the mask, etc ...

Main character, Wonder-Woman, is actually stupid and suffers from a huge lack of depth. She even contradicts herself, talking about "love being the solution" while killing soldiers with a smile since the beginning of the movie (soldiers who were chasing a spy, by the way, not killing innocents). But after all, Gadot was an Israeli soldier proud of the killings her country does, so I guess this part of the plot didn't trouble her.

I can't see why some people see this movie as feminist, it just shows how a woman can do exactly what's expected of her without even thinking about it. The only decisions she makes on her own are dumb are useless in the end.

Talking about feminism. Is it feminism to repeat over and over how superior women are to men ? Spoiler : it isn't.

Gal Gadot is a huge problem for this film, too. it's obvious she's a model, not an actress. All she can do the whole film is trying to be sexy with those eyes or mouth moves. That's not what expected about an actress, or at least not in this kind of movie. She needs to learn the job first, at least know how to reflect basic super-hero feelings like sadness or wrath.

Whole writing is faulty, she failed her mission of saving the world from war but is still happy about it, she makes fun for corsets while wearing one, she wants war to stop but loves it, etc.

In conclusion, this film takes no risk at all, bringing nothing new to the table AND even fails many basic things. And the most sad thing maybe for a movie : it's boring. The good reviews of so many people just because it's a woman on the main role make me sick. This is not a good super-hero film, not a good DC film, not a good film. Sorry for my not-trained in a while english.… Expand

Gal Gadot's performance has the right amount of hopefulness and naivety, while also being a total badass in the action scenes. Watching the character come to terms with the flawed nature of humanity is compelling. Director Patty Jenkin's depiction of WWI is fantastic.

Elements of the fantasy genre are noticeable throughout, particularly in the first portion of the film. The bright, colorful environments are gorgeous and a nice change of pace from the blacks and greys of the other DC films it shares a cinematic universe with. The lore provides an interesting take on Greek mythology. Seeing such an optimistic, selfless superhero isn't exactly something new, but lately when every other hero seems to be struggling with their morals and fighting each other, it's good to see this return to form. Especially since it's done so well.

After years of waiting, Wonder Woman has finally gotten her own film. One befitting of the character. Not only does she bring hope to those around her in the film, but she also uplifts DC comics fans by bringing them the first truly good movie in the DCEU. One that delivers in every way it needed to. 9.3/10… Expand

This is the best DCEU film to date. It really focuses a lot on the plot, which is lacking in many other DCEU films. It also features plenty of action. I really hope this film can save the DCEU.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried really hard to give this movie a chance. I don't like superhero movies generally, but this was recommended to me by others who don't like the genre and thought it had great moments with a female hero at the center and a decent story. Of course, this requires that you are able to ignore inevitable goofs and immerse yourself in the movie.
If I had started watching it after about three drinks there's a small possibility I could get to that place, because Wonder Woman i requires turning off 2/3 of your brain and enjoy some pretty decent cinematography and eye candy actors. Definitely a minimum of drunkeness to ignore the stupid rubber costume that only needs ears and a tail to qualify for the Playboy Bunny Club. To ignore an abuse of Greek mythology that makes Clash of the Titans look good by comparison. (I know this is a DC universe story but COME ON!!) It takes great restrain to limit my comments to the fact that Diana was a ROMAN goddess. ARTEMIS is the original Greek, not associated with the Amazons definitely associated with chastity. (big bummer for Steve there), Ares (Greek) was one of the dumbest gods in the pantheon, and ONLY Zeus(Greek) got to play with thunder/lightning bolts. Then there is the utterly predictable, cheesy dialogue, cardboard minority characters to "round out" the story. Tons of magic bullets, behavior that isn't naive its circus clownish. (Dress Diana up so she blends in, which she gets, but then walks out holding her sword and shield in the most obvious manner possible?! And she's supposed to have a brain under that perfectly coiffed hair?!?) Oh, and a plot that doesn't have holes, it has giant sucking black holes of ridiculousness. For example. Okay, so Diana knows dozens of languages because her barbarian but highly civilized island has been around forever. Great. BUT MODERN ENGLISH DIDN'T EVEN EXIST UNTIL THE 15TH CENTURY. Unless naughty Amazons sneak out routinely to mingle with the mortals, they should only be well versed in languages from 5th century BC. And frankly, if they are sneaking out to bone up on the local lingo, they might just pick up something better than bronze age weapons. Cause, steel is a lot stronger ya know? And those spiffy gauntlets and little shield may repel bullets, but that still leaves the legs, arms, torso and head available for nice messy gunshot wounds.
A second example that had me screaming at the tv screen. Our main characters travel from somewhere (supposedly) in the Aegean Sea to London on a two person fishing punt, no supplies, no food, no MAPS & everybody taking a nice nap after setting the GPS locator instead of steering. It arrives in a few days after encountering a tug boat (?!?!) to pull them up the Thames. If they'd made the Amazons' island a floating mystic thing that travels around the world, it would at least have some shred of internal logic. I don't demand accuracy from a fantasy story, but having internal logic is a pretty low bar to clear and this clunker smacks into that bar head first.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally went to see Wonder Woman in the dollar theater.

Out of ALL the reviews I read since this movie came out, not one of them….NOT ONE……ever, EVER mentioned that this is a COMEDY! A laugh riot, farcical comedy! OMG!!!! I haven’t seen anything this hysterical since Liar Liar and Batman and Robin!!! All the “good” reviews out there make SO much sense now!!! The BAD acting! The screwed up Wonder Woman storyline! The inaccuracies GALORE!! The laughable and incorrect “accents”!!!! The FLAT CHESTED, DWARF woman playing the Amazon! The superlative BAD, BAD casting! OMG! Patty Jenkins is a COMEDIC MASTER!!! Besides the absolute brilliance at a hobbit Wonder Woman, David Thewlis as “Ares” was divine comedy perfection! To cast one of the best “C” grade actors in Britain as a “god” was indescribably the most brilliant comedic move to date! I laughed so hard, I almost pee’d my pants!!

I think the ONLY actor in the whole movie who was trying to be serious, was the woman playing “Etta Candy”! She was MARVELOUS! She put everybody else to shame!

This movie isn’t billed as a comedy, so I fully expected some actual serious stuff. But after almost cracking a few ribs after watching this enormously hysterical comedy of errors, I can see now why so many people liked it.

SUCH a good laugh! But I have to say, DC has destroyed Wonder Woman for me. And after being such a long time fan and collector, this just completely destroyed everything Wonder Woman stands for and fights for. But alas, even after getting such a good laugh out of this “movie”, I still want my dollar back!… Expand

The film in general had too many downfalls. The use of typical tropes for characters without developing them made them seem static and boring. I didn't like that Wonder Woman came off as just a super feminist with a static view of the world, 'war is bad.' The worst part was the film had no unique identity of it's own, it tried to be a mix of typical world war movies and superhero flicks like Captain America, but it failed in both aspects. Lastly the accents were a turn off since they were so thick, I can't imagine someone who speaks over 100 languages to have such a thick accent.… Expand

As an aside, I hear talk that superhero movies have hit their peak and audiences are beginning to tire of them. Instead I say we are getting a string of poor to average movies. Give us a credible super villain to hate and one or more superheroes to intelligently kick his super powered butt.

"I am Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta, and your wrath upon this world is over"

Lynda Carter got, not only the sex symbol label in the seventies at the expense of her courageous performance over three seasons in the DC Comics TV"I am Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta, and your wrath upon this world is over"

Lynda Carter got, not only the sex symbol label in the seventies at the expense of her courageous performance over three seasons in the DC Comics TV series, she also was proud of embodying for the very first time a strong, intelligent, charismatic and comprehensive woman both on the small screen, in the comic universe of superheroes and in that misogynist society of which we have not been getting away yet. However, like everything in this earthly life, the exuberant actress had to say goodbye to her time of victory, leaving as a reminder an unblemished legacy, inherent nostalgia emerging from this character and seven decades of vignettes that made the delights of comic lovers of yesteryear. However, the social, political and cultural phenomenon threatens to come out again thanks to the triumph of a war/comic/superhero/dramatic/romantic—and before all these banal classifications—inspirational and transcendent production, which was conceived by director Patty Jenkins next to new and perfect Wonder Woman actress, Gal Gadot, of course, with the extensive assistance of a unisex crew, captained economically, by American monster film production company Warner Bros.

As a general rule, each released movie must follow, at least, a specific storyline in connection with the universe that the studio wishes to put together, such as its counterpart Marvel Studios, because of which, the events are placed just after the ending of "Batman V Superman", with a seasoned and circumspect Diana Prince receiving a package, which motivates the corresponding presentation of her origins, using as a narrative conductor a shabby photograph taken on her first vacation to the harsh, fierce and paradoxically inhumane real world: the World War I. However, the film slides much further back, promptly to Themyscira, Diana's origin land and an idyllic Greek kingdom where the most powerful, clever and complete females reside, thanks to work and grace of Zeus in order to inspire peace and union in a world tamed by Ares brutality, the main rival of both the father of the gods and the Amazon warriors, a tribe led by overprotective Queen Hippolyta and her sister, General Antiope. The hurdle that, sooner or later, they had to face will come after Steve Trevor, pilot and spy of the United States Army, who accidentally falls into the ocean of the island with a bundle of horrid realities under his arms, forcing the predicted awakening of Wonder Woman.

It was neither for lack of intent nor because of scarcity of support and execution sources, it was by a shortage of professionalism that the superheroines world had not had the succor that male heroes possess today. However, the American huge studios — so similar but so dissimilar — have taken matters into their own hands, either by the unfading desire of fans or by the boom around the absolute abolition of misogyny in the different human fields. Warner Brothers Pictures was the one which took the initiative several years ago, using Zack Snyder as casting director to finally select Gal Gadot, the Wonder Woman from cover to cover by reason of her acting skills and dominant emotional strength as she pops on the screen. While the company was recovering from the colossal setback that meant the inaugural stage of its cinematic universe at the hands of "Man of Steel" (2013), "BvS" (2016) and "Suicide Squad" (2016); the high members deliberated what would be the course that the mega project should take, since although all previous movies had a lucky reception at the box office, they don't convince any one within critics circle. Then, the next step fell into the hands of Jenkins, a director whose experience was strictly based on the small screen and her prestigious directorial debut: "Monster". The writers' and the filmmaker's ambitions to bring back "WW" were so fervent, fascinating and prevailing that the company gave a vote of confidence for an Amazon princess with a nuance much more from Marvel, she is who lifted that vile shade flying over DC, once and for all. And what a success! Sequences as the ascension of the walls of a high tower, the sublime struggle in the arenas of Themyscira, the combat in the village against the German officers or the self-same Zeus or her already classic allegorical scene in which she arises among bullets and explosions, encouraged by the masterful composition of Hans Zimmer; A portentous setting, cinematography and photography that remind the work of "Fantastic Beasts"; first-grade special effects that, although on several occasions are perceptible and somewhat ineffective, draw each of the locations and struggles with an enviable sophistication, a story brimming with love and bravery — thanking a fascinating twist —; high octane performances and a direction teaching in each frame, all that make "Wonder Woman" a wonderful and, for someones, painful triumph.… Expand

Wonder Woman, though not a perfect movie in many ways, is still better than the preceding DCEU movies. The movie was fun in some scenes, boring and repetitive in others, and some were average and progressed the plot like it had to.

Acting:Wonder Woman, though not a perfect movie in many ways, is still better than the preceding DCEU movies. The movie was fun in some scenes, boring and repetitive in others, and some were average and progressed the plot like it had to.

Acting: Gal Gadot is a great fit for Wonder Woman, and has a good range of emotions. Chris Pine was also good and pretty charming throughout. Chris Pine and Gal Gadot had great chemistry together, and exchanged nice, charming dialogue and sometimes even meaningful conversations about mankind and war. Every other actor and actress do what they have to, but aren't anything special.

Characters: The only people with the most characters throughout are Gadot and Pine. They spent good time developing a bond between them, and didn't force a love connection, which I thought worked out perfectly fine. However, many other characters fall flat. I didn't care for Diana's mother or her sister that much, and even got them confused constantly. They were just characters that existed to move the plot forward and weren't necessarily good or bad. Just, characters that exist. The three guys that tag along with Gadot and Pine have virtually no characters, and I don't even recall any of them actually killing anyone. They are one of the most extreme examples of supporting characters I have ever seen. They exchange some lines and have a hint of a backstory here and there, and can be a tad charming at times, but really only existed so the plot could utilize them to benefit Wonder Woman or Chris Pine. The villains are okay and have their motives, but in the end, are still superhero villains, who usually end up being forgettable or nothing special. In this case, they are forgettable, as I will probably forget the villains by the end of this year.

Plot: Of the three acts in the movie (Diana growing up and leaving the island with Pine and strolling through London, the crew fighting their way through the war to get to the Germans, and the final fight scenes and conclusion), the second act was the best. The first act didn't necessarily do anything wrong; they introduced Diana, had the basic exposition scene, had the aunt/trainer get shot and try to tell Diana something before she dramatically dies, and she leaves the island. It did everything it had to do, and wasn't necessarily boring, but just struck me as pretty basic storytelling. The third act was probably the worst for me. The twist was introduced and was okay, but then the final fight between Wonder Woman and Ares was boring and repetitive and done badly. They punch back and forth and fly through the air and throw big objects at each other, kind of like Man of Steel. It goes on for what seems like forever, and though the effects are good, feels boring and like it doesn't progress. Just the same thing over and over. The second act was the best for me because it had the best action. There were some good fight scenes that would've made the movie much better if there were more of them. It also introduced a good look at war and mankind. Since this is Diana's first time experiencing war, it is a fresh take on the horrors of warfare from the perspective of someone who is seeing it for the first time. She says stuff like "why are they fighting?" or "this is horrible." It is a good reminder that war is hell and it adds to the sinister tone of war because it is from the perspective of someone who is just now seeing it. Imagine you lived in peace for your whole life, learning to fight but never actually having to use it. Then, you jump into a world where men are shooting each other's heads off, you would most likely be disgusted or confused about why they do it. The movie did a good job of putting us behind Diana's eyes and feeling what she feels when she sees a whole village of innocents get wiped out. This made the second act the best part of the whole movie, and where most of the 5 rating comes from.

Script: The script is nothing special except for the scenes where Diana and Pine share deep insights and dialogue about the behaviors of man. It is charming at times, but otherwise is nothing special.

Zack Snyder stuff: Though Snyder only produced the movie, he still slapped his signatures all over it. The signature dark, gritty, dirty color scheme is very apparent in this movie. Dark tones and imagery can, of course, be used very well. I always felt Snyder overuses this dark tone that doesn't always work with some superhero movies. However I did like the choice of making the island very bright and happy, and then, when entering the cruel world of war, is plunged into a darker color palette. Although it still feels over-the-top at times.

Wonder Woman is an okay superhero movie with good leading characters, an otherwise forgettable cast, good action scenes, but fails to entertain through most of the movie. It was a bit predictable, but it mainly gets a low rating because of the whole last act, which I thought was done very poorly.… Expand

Packed with action and likable characters, the DC franchise is finally improving fast with this wonderfully directed and well written flick. Princess Diana and Steven Trevor as our main characters are both somewhat developed throughout the film, with some personal struggles and even some moral questions are often raised. This is closely interconnected with the main story, where Hans Zimmer’s score and the excellent crafted slow-mo & action-sequences, made one get goose bumps. The WW1-feel and the small (almost romantic) moments between our main characters are also a big plus. The downside to all this is the anticlimactic and cheesy 3rd act, where a “new” and unnecessary villain was introduced with an enormous lack of inside, and a messy structure of nothing more than vague CGI ”Snyder”- action. Still, ‘Wonder Woman’ is definitely DC’s best to date, and very up to expectations from my part!

This movie is fine, good even. The first two-thirds are honestly delightful. Unfortunately, the final third squanders a lot of potential. Without going into spoilers, a really neat option to deconstruct and advance the superhero genre gets thrown away in order to put in the standard third act boss fight.

With that out of the way, this is a fun movie. Gal Godot was relatively unproven, particularly as a lead in this big of a movie, but she holds the role down. Chris Pine does as well as he's done in the Star Trek movies; a bit of a scoundrel, but with a heart of gold. Many of the supporting characters are underused, but none of them feel forced. The story does a good job of getting the audience invested.

The villains were some of my favorites. They are (again avoiding spoilers) very appropriate for the time period the film is set in (one of my biggest gripes with the first Captain America movie was that it wasted its WWII setting by giving everyone rayguns). Their superweapon is a very World War One superweapon. Aside from the supervillain shoved into the third act, they're both evil enough and real enough to be satisfying.

Overall, this is a competent film where everyone had been led to expect incompetence. This will not be a movie that you're still talking about two weeks later, but you'll have a fun time.… Expand

Before Wonder Woman for me DCEU's movies hadn't been great,sure there were some good movies Like Suicide Squad or Man of Steel but I felt that no other DC movies after The Dark Knight Trilogy were great until now.

With Wonder Woman DC getsBefore Wonder Woman for me DCEU's movies hadn't been great,sure there were some good movies Like Suicide Squad or Man of Steel but I felt that no other DC movies after The Dark Knight Trilogy were great until now.

With Wonder Woman DC gets it right for many reasons first being the tone of the movie, this movie had that Dark tone which DC movies have generally but it wasn't gloomy or unnecessary at all the tone fit in with the story and there was humor in the film, like a really acceptable amount. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is a great choice she was awesome in her action sequences and the emotional parts were good, Chris Pine was also good as Steve Trevor as he is alove interest to Wonder Woman but also his character was well driven,likeble and had some funny pieces of dialogue. The Main Villain which is a surprise was also good as you don't see much of him within until the third act but when he Shows up he is awesome and had great action sequences against Wonder Woman and his motivations were understandable.

Since Wonder Woman is an Origin story one would expect some slow pace but this movie didn't have slow pace at all as the story moved quickly but wasn't rushed well most part.Let's get back to Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman her performance I must say is very different from other Superhero performances because her character Wonder Woman is incredibly naive as she wants to save the world but doesn't actually know how the world works as she thinks humanity is perfect and doesn't think the bad things people do is their fault and as the movie goes on she start s to realize that the world isn't perfect and humanity is flawed and Gal Gadot's performance sells it and her character being so naive and yet hopefully is believable.

I must say Patty Jenkins who directed the film was excellent as the action sequences her great and well directed and just some of the scenes looked to come out straight from a comic book and it fits in well with the movie and just looks good.Now let's talk about the movie's flaws during the transition to the second act to the final act of this movie some parts felt rushed and was just plain boring, the final build up to the final confrontation to the villain was sluggish and some side characters felt thrown away because there was now to much focus on Wonder Woman even though is her movie it felt strange. Also some parts are weirdly directed as some parts that felt artistic didn't really fit at some parts although most times it worked.

Without saying too much the final moments of this movie was unpredictable,emotional and awesome at the same time as there was some good action and some character arcs were wrappped up nicley.
Wonder Woman was a really good film,it had good humor,good action,really great story with emotional arcs and obviously it is the best female Superhero movie so far,the best DCEU movie and I think one of the best Superhero movies ever made and one of the best movies of 2017.… Expand

Altough his costume looked retarded here. Some cgi scenes were a bit off, on the other hand the slow mo fights were fantastic. They could have cut a handful of cheesy scenes to drop the runtime to 2h because it felt too long. Wonder Woman is still one of the more enjoyable superhero movies out there… Expand

"Man of Steel," while entertaining, was nowhere near "spectacular," "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice," no matter how much you liked it, was a gigantic disappointment, and while I've yet to watch "Suicide Squad," it kind of seems like everyone I talk to about it tells me to avoid it. So, along comes female director Patty Jenkins with her version of "Wonder Woman." And to the surprise of many, including myself, the film is actually pretty great! Obviously, it's got all the things that make a superhero movie great (a great story, good writing, interesting characters, cool action, and strong performances, specifically Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman), but for me, the film was successful for a number of other reasons. For starters, while it definitely had the actions we all expect from this kind of movie, the film definitely wasn't afraid to build its story and its characters and take the necessary time to develop them. But also, where a lot of superhero films may get caught up in franchise building, "Wonder Woman" did an incredible job standing on its own despite being part of the DCEU. In fact, outside of some very small references at the beginning and the end of the film, you could've told me that this film wasn't part of the DCEU and I would've believed you. All in all, "Wonder Woman" is a huge success and it's definitely the film the DCEU needed. Let's hope it stays this way as we continue on.… Expand

The movie contains large periods of time where nothing happens, has extremely forgettable characters and is simply not entertaining for the most part.

Wonder Woman is represented as shallow and naive, which is fine, but for an origin movieThe movie contains large periods of time where nothing happens, has extremely forgettable characters and is simply not entertaining for the most part.

Wonder Woman is represented as shallow and naive, which is fine, but for an origin movie there is no growth and no surprises. Her accent is forced and the high pitched nasal voice she has when she whines is grating to listen to. She spends the entire movie following other guys- stomping her feet when she disagrees and occasionally doing her own thing with single minded- or single mindless- determination. As such, her 'strength of character' doesn't come from being actually independent and strong, but from being bull headed- and minus one fight scene in the middle of the movie, it doesn't do her any good. She faces a 'choice' at the end of the movie, but it's so black and white and obvious it doesn't draw you to the conclusion her understanding of humanity has broadened in the slightest, which seemingly was the entire point of her 'growth' throughout the movie.

The supporting cast for the most part is there to give a few lines of token dialogue about how they're on the margin- before the movie ironically shoves their value to the margin so we can focus again on one of the worst love stories in a comic book movie I've seen... which is saying something since all comic book movie love stories are beyond awful.

At least there are some fight scenes, though few and far between. But they don't look right. Dianna poses in battle way too much, which would fit if this movie was aiming to be old school comic book goofy- but clearly they wanted this movie to be taken seriously. The whip looks weird, she just charges through things like a bull half the time, and I don't think I've seen a movie misuse slow motion battle scenes this much ever- with slow mo frames occurring sporadically through pretty much every battle, completely nullifying any effect they could have had if used sparingly and instead making fight scenes atrociously paced.

There is some comedy injected, largely based on her love interest's attempts to stay manly compared to the amazon; but only some of it is actually funny, while much of it makes the viewer as awkward as the actors look- and it doesn't help that this keeps up for most of the film.

I'm not even going to touch on the weak plot and completely non-threatening villains.

I normally try to avoid reviews before watching a movie so my opinion isn't tainted and my hopes don't get too high, but unfortunately the endless praise this movie was getting was hard to ignore so I did have somewhat high hopes. At the same time, it's a DC non-Batman movie so my expectations were never that great.

And no, I'm not saying this because it's a female superhero- I enjoyed Quinn's Suicide Squad, and I found Batman v Superman to be awful- in fact I thought Wonder Woman was one of the better parts of BvS despite having such a small role.

Not a bad movie, but not a good one either. Overall it's average, with a point taken off for being needlessly long and boring. Still one of the better non-Batman DC movies but that's not saying much.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to start off by saying that aspects of this movie really impressed me. The actions scenes were packed full of spectacle as you would expect from a Zack Snyder movie, the choreography and visual design of the scenes were very impressive and really commanded the tone of how powerful wonder woman became through all of her training as an Amazonian, and I think the "modernization" of wonder woman really hit the spot as to what my expectations were of the costume designs and fighting style.

However, in the periods between fighting scenes the movie exhibits a complete lack of direction. The origin story is dry and incomplete and it felt rushed. It seems like they were trying to pack a nice origin story to round off the character and introduce us to wonder woman but by doing that they achieved nothing more than mashing two incomplete stories together and frustrating the genuineness of the relationship between Steve and Diana.

Also, the island origin story is just awkward and non-eventful. Diana leaving the island (her home) has to mean more to her than simply fulfilling some mythological prophecy. For example, a movie like Moana does this well by having the character go through the struggle of leaving home and making that internal struggle carry throughout the movie. Nothing about leaving home is easy but Diana should have let us know how important it was for her to do so. Instead it felt like a teenager wanting to go out for a date night and mom finally saying it was ok.

Some people are praising Gadot's performance but I don't think I can agree mostly because of how poorly written the character was. In fact, mostly all of the character's were poorly written (especially the so called side-kicks). I mean who's decision was it to have the Indian character use smoke signals as his biggest contribution to the movie. They might as well just have had no side-kicks at all with how useless they were at driving the plot and creating foils for Diana.

In general, I think the movie did not live up to the hype. It was a fluffed up, poorly written, characterless movie with absolutely no bite. The script is horrendous and I cannot believe that they were able to get this shot at all given how bad it was. I mean to have a movie about a bad ass character like wonder woman where her best motivation is "love for a man" is a complete slap to all feminists out there looking for a break from seeing men kick ass. And needless to say her love motivation did not fit in at all with the mythology behind the whole movie. It's almost like every scene was written by a completely different person experience a case of writer's block so they grabbed whatever common trope in hero movies was most readily available. The whole point of Zeus and Ares fighting is that they disagree on fundamental things about people. I think they did a lackluster job of displaying this through Diana's character.

Like the more recent comic book Hollywood movies, story telling is a second class citizen and I think Wonder Woman is the clear exemplar of how movies can be so good in one sense but leave us completely deflated and hungry for the themes and characters that shine in mediums other than the silver screen.… Expand

I also prefer movies with relatable characters, and Diana, even though she's a woman, is a little hard to relate to. For most people, this probably wouldn't have bothered them, but there's just certain things I need in a movie to really take me from just liking it to loving it, and it wasn't quite there.

American actress should have played Wonder Woman; and to be honest a part of me still does. Gadot is badass though.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Making a film with a female protagonist doesn't automatically make it relatable to a female audience. I'm a male and even with that going against me I still can't call this film anything but cringe-worthy. Wonder Woman is no wonder. She is simple, awkward, and seemingly her only purpose is to bounce sexual tension off of a male supporting actor. She criticizes french fashion while wearing a corset, oblivious to the fact that she most definitely is already wearing this form of "ineffective armor."

The only time I thought the movie WAS going to have some decent writing was toward the end. We are lead to believe that wonder woman is about to learn a valuable lesson. That lesson being that human beings behave based on their own will and are capable of both good and evil. We can't just blame our actions on Hades. Nevermind. It was Hades all along. All people are good all the time unless a god/supervillain is responsible for their actions. Nevermind the paradox of who is controlling Hades' actions. Ok so Hades is the villain here. So lets throw all artistry to the side and cap off this horrible movie with a shallow special effects showdown. Biggest dumb light wins. Surprise, it's not Hades. All in all it's a mildly offensive bore that follows the expected formula.… Expand

By now you should have seen it if so. If not, don't. Also, the whole movie revolves around this woman or "God" will eventually find Ares and kill him without her even knowing her own abilities or who she's facing. All she knows are legends.

Wonder Woman 2016 has a bad script and bad acting from the main character, they just rushed to make another feminist movie but if you look closer you see they got an actress from Israel (GADOT Gal) to play a character that kills Germans (trying to imply NAZIS). Also let's not forget that Hitler was actually a soldier in the German army in WW1 so you do wonder if this was intentional - as a metaphor - for a jewish person to kill him in WW1 !

Ares is killed in the end by this woman & jewish actress - metaphor for Hitler?

-First off I am a lover of Wonder Woman comics, I thought the more recent new 52 run was brilliant... And then there was the movie.

-The movie itself wasn't bad. But when compared with the rampant hype it was pathetic. Honestly it was a very middle of the road Hero flick that would feel comfortable with the likes of Dr. Strange or Spiderman in terms of quality. Which is not a bad thing. That being said the movie had glaring issues that really kept it from shining more.
-1st off the pacing was bad. It seemed like there was a significant amount of filler material. I also disliked Diana's Ultra-naivety. I understand there were some attempts at comedy in it, but it was truly over the top. And hardly deserving of "feminist" praise that has been languished upon this film.

Second was Diana's character in general. Being an avid comic reader and knowing a fair amount about WonderWoman. I was disappointed at how her character was portrayed. She is a battle-lusting warrior in the comics that often needs to reign herself in to conform more to an unfamiliar society. However in the film she is a hippy-dippy love Aphrodite, while this isn't necessarily a bad character. It was irritating to see Diana portrayed as this.

Third, and honestly the biggest film killer for me (and my wife) was the villains. Forgettable would be an understatement. Truly a film such as this lets you see how important a good bad guy can help overall... And as many others have said, this film could have went without the end 1/3rd... You know the part where it all comes together... Yea.

If you really would like to see a great WonderWoman movie I would see the animated 2009 film. While it does not have the big names, it has fleshed out characters.… Expand

Gadot delivers a decent, yet inconsistent performance, whose supporting cast offer little more than partly successful comic relief. The pacing is a bit disjointed and unfortunately, fight scenes do not retain the impressive choreography featured in BvS, opting to depend rather on CG animations, which do not hold up to 2017 standards. Alas, DCEU has yet to produce a film capable of salvaging its shoddy introduction.… Expand

And by that I mean that it has a central hook to differentiate itself from other superhero movies (this is basically Thor meets Captain America meets a woman) but is letdown by an especially convoluted and nonsensical neverending ending - not only did it not make sense on a visual level but neither did it on a plot level with some of the "twists" and actions undertaken.

Some of the bright spots include the casting, the first half for the most part, the rapport between Diana and Steve, and some of the action choreography when it's close quarters.

Diana's naivete felt kind of out of place or overdone - sure she doesn't understand certain things about the outside world but she acts like a childish moron sometimes (like Thor without the undercurrent of angst and the general sense that he's that way all the time). Not to mention her "resolve" at the end is a bit unfounded considering she was right about Ares. Not only did that reveal make the Amazon women look like idiots but it also justified her belief in people and in a sense let them off the hook from being selfish and evil in their own way. She got to learn a lesson but not too hard of one and she was right anyway so oh well.… Expand

In other words, no one was yelling "LOOK, I'M A WOMAN AND I'M STRONG"; their strength was displayed in their action. For me, the best parts were the fighting sequences (especially the battles on Themyscira and No Man's Land), Wonder Woman's compassion for people (in a time where women were suppressed, she stood tall because she understood/embraced her purpose), the "fish out of water" plot was done well, Diana and Steve's chemistry (their banter was hilarious; kudos to Gal and Chris), Queen Hippolyta and General Antiope were awesome (Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright were amazing) and most of all, the Amazonians were diverse, which is socially relevant nowadays. A few scenes moved a little too slow for me, which I can overlook as I feel that happens with most origin stories I watch. Overall, I LOVED this film but not as much as my 8 year old daughter. She felt so empowered she turned to me and said, "Daddy, I feel so strong right now, like I can punch through a wall!!!"… Expand

One of the best SuperHero movies in the last 10 years. Good action, strong story, convincing acting. Solid movie. Also, spent some time developing WW, which I believe made the movie more textural than movies like Cpt Am.

Also, enough of all this "dark" themed crap. Ever since the heroin junkie joker died 10 years ago, it seems every superhero movie explores the dark side of the superhero. Dark knight, dark superman, dark papa smurf..etc. Wonder Woman actually had an internal struggle that was compelling and interesting without being "dark." (said with sarcastic batman breath).
Lastly, there's something about Gal Gadot's interpretation. She was vulnerable, inquisitive, caring but strong. She pulled it off masterfully.… Expand

WonderWoman by Ivette Fred-Rivera

I liked the movie, somehow.

The best: Diana. The worst: she is the only interesting character throughout the movie. A movie cannot be run by a single character. The partner Steve, boring. The other characters, fools. It is even insulting to women, in general, that a woman can be a hero only because she is running alone, instead of being the best among the best.

Curiously enough, the best lines of Diana are quotes from Achilles in the Iliad of Homer, specially from Book I. She is as brave as he is. At the front defending her army on the battlefield. That's why I think director Patty Jenkins should have chosen Brad Pitt as the actor who did Steve's character. Brat knew in Troy how to capture Aquilles’s braveness and would have made a more balanced performance as a real counterpart. Besides that Gal Gadot and Brat Pitt would be killing!

The film appears in two parts in terms of the use of technology. In the first part (first hour), it’s fairly basic and rudimentary, it reminds me of the Clash of the Titans (1981) with Greek gods flying in such an improbable, comic way. That's partly why the first hour is boring. It is too long too. I was about to leave. It is as if, for mythology, there was no real technology. This is strange. I also do not like that the director Jenkins does not cut a breast of the Amazons. Taking off a breast so that the armor, the bow, fit them well, showed their commitment to war, not with motherhood or with the yoke of marriage. That’s why Amazons were feared as well as desired by Ancient men. I guess the idea was that it was sexier a Diana with her two breasts. Though Diana's relationship with her aunt and teacher is great; it is the best of the first hour. The second part (second hour) uses the technology excellently, showing very well Diana’s battles, her prowess. In terms of politics, the film is quite flat. The demonized Germans vs the others, angels, of the Great War. The tv series was more layered in this sense.

Diana redeems the movie. I admire her bravery. Her innocence: to really believe in justice for its own sake, and for her ethos of saving mankind despite its undeservedness. This Diana is a combination of the Greek Arete (valor) with the Franciscan and Christian compassion.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wonder Woman is a great movie because of what features in it,but although it was a successful they could of used less slow motion.In the movie I liked how they disguised Ares. The movie was intense and heroic,and I think those two words describes the movie.The downer was the love story needed more time its was so quick and fast it was over in a couple of days,because Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) died. There was a much easier way out, but he was a little bit too greedy for that hero position.But it was a great movie and I loved Chris Pine(Steve Trevor) and Gal Godot(Wonder Woman) in it. You should definitely go see it.… Expand

"Wonder Woman" is a superhero movie, and it fulfills the heroic and mythic demands of that genre, but it's also an entry in the genre of wisdom literature that shares hard-won insights and long-pondered paradoxes of the past with a sincere intimacy.

Gracias Corea, por poner esta pelicula que sigue en cartelera en buena definición en la Internet, ya que solo hablo de peliculas que ya pasaron de cartelera y no hablo de ellas a tiempo. Gracias Maduro, por hacer que ir al cine de VenezuelaGracias Corea, por poner esta pelicula que sigue en cartelera en buena definición en la Internet, ya que solo hablo de peliculas que ya pasaron de cartelera y no hablo de ellas a tiempo. Gracias Maduro, por hacer que ir al cine de Venezuela sea algo muy caro de comprar hoy en día.

(Esto no tiene spoilers).

La mujer maravilla es por fin, el acierto de Dc comics que se puede disfrutar y tener una buena base de explicar su universo, pero aun así, tiene el error de ese un poco lenta para el publico que quiere llegar y dejan unos cuantos huecos argumentales y el villano es inesperadamente poco desarrollado, y eso a pesar que aquí hay 3 villanos.

Lo mejor que tiene la pelicula es el personaje principal y como se desenvuelve en el mundo de los humanos, a pesar que hay veces que sus acciones son muy forzadas, y adore bastante la cámara lenta que utilizaron aqui, dando muchos puntos en la pelea final.

Hay algunos que dicen que esta pelicula de Dc tiene muchos colores, a diferencia de las demás entregas de Dc, pues...no, sigue teniendo esa cámara opaca y oscura, y solo hay pocas escenas donde el color anaranjado y amarillento que caracteriza la obra se hace presente, pero son escenas importantes al menos.

Gracias que la gente no spoileo mucho esta película en la internet y haga que tenga un poquito de esperanza con La Liga de Justicia que se va a estrenar este año, pero uno nunca sabe, parece que esta tendré que verla ahorrando dinero en cine.… Expand

Gal Gadot is wrong for Wonder Woman, she actually wasn't bad in BvS but there she only had a small role. She lacks the gravitas Wonder Woman should have, instead she comes of as a confused child. And despite her working out for the part she still looks like a skinny fashion model (which she is). And the CGI fight scenes were hideous, how can this massive-budget thing deliver such D grade effects?

The movie was completely unimmersive and lacking depth, instead it is packed with corny jokes and hollow characters - another mindless action-comedy.

And its references to actual history are utterly simple minded - look up the real "father of chemical warfare" and marvel at the depths real life delivers!… Expand

I'm not impressed by the story, and the visual effect and the actions scenes of the movie is a bit weird, but Gal Gadot is extremely gorgeous, and the theme song is really impressive!

It was a decent movie, but after all the raves I was expecting it to move me, it didn't, not very much at all. Most of the movie felt like a Chris Pine vehicle, Gal was good, the material mediocre.

It's Captain America with a female lead instead. Wonder Woman origin story could have done with more "origin" than the fodder of the WW1 (Great War) setting that ate up 3/4 of the film. No nudity was a definite let down.
