While the villains are standard issue evil, Wonder Woman is remarkable in the genre for its early 20th century setting and Gadot's galvanizing performance. Read full review

Wonder Woman represents a number of delicate balancing acts: between humor and gravitas; angst and adventure; full-blown, unvarnished superhero fantasy and the DCEU’s usual unpacking of what those fantasies mean. Read full review

Wonder Woman is leaps and bounds above the other three entries in the DCEU. With a dramatic setting, a few entertaining action scenes, and a strong supporting cast all working together to tell an inspirational Hero’s Journey, it more than offsets some occasionally uneven acting on Gadot’s part and some shaky technical aspects.

The first two hours run the gamut from interesting to delightful. The final 20 minutes are roaring, ridiculous business as usual. We should be thankful the tide of mediocrity is held back as long as it is. Read full review

Wonder Woman is exciting, romantic, funny — and my favorite DC Extended Universe movie to date. With her courage and strength, Diana sets an example for everyone she meets, and she holds fast to her ideals even under great pressure. With any luck, she’ll provide similar inspiration to the directors of the DC Extended Universe in the years ahead. Read full review

It’s plagued by the same problems that dragged down previous visits to the DC movie world: over-earnestness, bludgeoning special effects, and a messy, often wildly implausible plot. What promised to be a glass-ceiling-smashing blockbuster actually looks more like a future camp classic. Read full review

Wonder Woman is a successful movie. Gal Gadot in the Wonder Woman part is awesome, the story is interesting and the music is really beautiful. Go see it!

Who hasA while back, spy movies were dominating our local theaters, but this summer it seems that Marvel and DC Comics have taken over the world. As the first solo feature film for Wonder Woman since its creation in 1941, it must have been a challenge to find the right person for the role. Who has muscles, beauty, intelligence, charm, physical grace and alacrity, and a thick head of jet black hair? My first choice would have been Catherine Zeta-Jones, but unfortunately Hollywood would want the actress to be under 40. The pickings must have been slim, which is how a former beauty queen and Israeli unknown (Gal Gadot) jumped from relative obscurity to a Hollywood film that has already made over $800 million at the box office. Gadot gives Wonder Woman a multilayered persona and a martial arts mystique with her bullet-proof bracelets, golden Lasso of Truth, and god-given sword, and she also adds to it a mysterious, not-quite-identifiable Hebrew accent.

Princess Diana of Themyscira, a.k.a., Diana Price, is not your average princess. She was born into a secluded island paradise for women only, a mystical place steeped with Greek mythology, whose inhabitants claim ancient ancestry that harks back to Zeus himself. They are Amazonian warriors, who are trained for war from childhood by practicing swordsmanship and skilled hand-to-hand combat. They are mortal, but they have longevity and superhuman strength. The little princess is told by Hippolyta, her mother (Connie Nielsen), that she did not have a father—her mother sculpted her from clay, and Zeus infused her with life. (It's not clear how the island civilization produces babies, although their ancient philosophical treatises conclude that men are in fact necessary for reproduction.) Coincidentally, all the inhabitants of the island speak English with a vaguely Israeli accent.

Diana has even greater strength and skill than her compatriots, including the island's greatest warrior general, Antiope (Robin Wright), who is also her personal trainer. The little girl grows into a perfect picture of royal elegance, courage, and magnanimity. But the peace of the island, which is magically hidden from earthly view by a translucent, watery curtain, is disturbed by the appearance of an American WWII pilot, Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), who somehow permeates the protective curtain (which malfunctions easily) and crashes into the water. Thus begins the journey of Diana to end the "never-ending war," the one prophesied by all the elders on her island. She is convinced that the monster behind the war machine is the god that causes everyone a big headache, Ares, the god of war. It was Diana's destiny from birth to challenge Aries and destroy him, thus restoring humanity to the good creatures that they were meant to be.

Classic and mythical superhero tale though this may be, the script has an underlying theme regarding the paradoxical nature of human nature, as seen from the perspective of a naive, unblemished, and highly evolved being. Wonder Woman might as well be an extraterrestrial as she perceives humanity through alien eyes, often shocked and confused by the contradictions, the indifference, and the ambiguous morality of the human species. "You are getting what you deserve!" she lashes out at Steve Trevor. "It's not about what you deserve," he insists, "it's what you believe." And figuring out what humans believe is a complex and disturbing investigation that may in the end confound even Wonder Woman.… Expand

This is a quality superhero movie. Loyal to the comics. And it establishes Wonder Woman strongly. Fantastic action sequences, the fight scenes and choreography were perfect. Great use of music and slow motion. This is a movie well worth seeing.

A great, hopeful achievement that should inspire a generation of girls. It takes a little bit too long to get there and the final battle is a bit disappointing with more CGI fare but everything else is thoroughly enjoyable.

It takes a little bit too long to get there and the final battle is a bit disappointing with more CGI fare but everything else is thoroughly enjoyable. This boasts one of the absolute most likable ensembles I've seen in a superhero film and the chemistry that Gal Gadot and Chris Pine share makes for fantastic viewing. It has a perfect tone that other DCEU films should take note of. It's very good.… Expand

Loved Gal Gadot in this. Pacing was kinda meh. Still felt like a DCEU movie. And, the constant use of slow mo was totally unnecessary. Some slow mo is cool. But using it in EVERY fight scene is pointless. And yes, it was pretty funny in some parts. I just wish it was better. I think I had myLoved Gal Gadot in this. Pacing was kinda meh.
