talk about a movie that has changed the game- until now the fight scene soundtrack is still ringing in my head when I feel like hitting someone.Charming cast, amazing fight scenes and decent story- the only bummer is the villain; he wasn't that convincing. buuuuut I can't wait for the sequel!
8/10

Pretty emtertaining super hero movie with a nice WWI setting and fine cast. As usual overlong and weak (predictable of its casting) villian but still some good action and setpieces. Gadot and Pine work well togetherFlavio
Dawn and Spud finally in a movie together.Jevet D. Lopez
Gorgeus and enjoyable to see Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, the movie is well sequenced and it has a captivating plot.BUT, the actors representing Hares and Steve are not well selected, i'd have preferred stronger specimens.
8.5/10.

While not a perfect film (see David Thewlis’s head superimposed over an underwear model’s body and, more importantly, dramatic structure), Wonder Woman is so very good. Gal Gadot is lovely and credible, and I cannot remember when a female lead excited me that much — not since Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (2001). Not that there is a strong tradition of female leads in action films in the first place, which is why Wonder Woman is so important.Appearing at this point in the cinematic universe of DC, the story cannot escape the politics of gender, diversity (of all kinds), male gaze, and emancipation. There is an awareness to it within the film, but I wonder if the result is a first step in the right direction, rather than anything like culmination. Diana’s journey from adolescence (Themyscira) to forming and finding her destiny (the passage through No Man’s Land and the battle with Ares) is taking place in a patriarchal world, one that is necessarily at odds with her homeland. This is acknowledged to a degree (London scenes, the mention of women’s vote), but as a side-note. Diana is treated very much like an exception: she has to continuously prove more competent than the men to be seen as their equal. She does not really have a problem doing that, so the approach is not called into question.
I have come across criticisms of the romantic plotline, saying that the attraction to someone Diana spent a week with would not be her main motivation, when she had her aunt and mentor to avenge. Not to mention fulfilling the mission she had been training for her entire life. I absolutely agree, but the instant romance has been a plot device for a very, very long time. While it would be nice to have action films that are emotionally accurate, I do not think that the application of the trope in Wonder Woman is to undermine the protagonist’s independence and the suggest the overwhelming importance of dick.
I wish we spent more time on Themyscira. It looked like all the fun from Xena: Warrior Princess, plus armadillos.

It is completely nonsense that this movie went above the bar among both IMDB and Metacritic users. This has to be a joke! Bury BVS and praise Wonder Woman?The only beautiful, original element was the motion soundtrack and that's it. A void, dull, eventless first half and a parody of Anglo-Saxon masturbation in the second half. Oh Mighty Ares!

Is a movie may be ‘feminist’, or is it the viewer, always, who understand a movie ‘as’ a feminist (or not) one? A pleasant moment, though.Read more in French on La Saveur des goûts amers.

I watched about an hour last night and bailed out...it didn't sustain my interest.zombierobo
Good Movie. But overrated for a lot of social reasons. And what's with people praising it for Action sequences?? :P But then may be most of the audiences are slow to grab on action sequences that are little bit fast like in Man of Steel.Dewsions
DC delivered with this film, finally some actual fight scenes portrayed and some stunning visuals. Wonder Woman's theme is a favourite.nowhereman136
This felt more like a war movie than a superhero movie, and it does a good job of explaining the range of emotions that war brings. If anything, the range may be too much to devote to much time to any one aspect. Ultimately the moral of the story is that war, like people, is very complicated. It was very refreshing for a superhero movie to take a simple yet insightful look at the subject. Good action, mostly good acting (although at times cheesy) and good effects. Solid movie, i would call this the best DC film since The Dark Knight (2008)9/10

Io sto dalla parte di Ares. L'uomo è un'infezione per questo pianeta.osussex
Enjoyed Gal Gadot's and Chris Pine's performance, but that was about it. Plot was predictable and boring, and don't get me started on the ridiculousness of characters like doctor poison.Piratsvin
I'm getting too old for these type of movies...The humour is dumb and the characters likewise.
Decent action scenes though.

On the surface, Wonder Woman is a fun film with a strong story, decent script and lots of great action. Truly enjoyable. DC finally made a good one.Beneath the surface, the film kicks all the feminist elements and mythos to the curb. Then spits on it. Everything revolves around the man, his plans, his efforts and him saving the damsel in distress (due to culture shock mostly) most of the time. Sure, WW has a grand plan too but it's facilitated by patriarchy through and through. Take the moment when Chris Pine meets WW: She literally exclaims: "You're a man!!!" as if to imbue and imply the power that brings and what he represents. Moreover, Diana is ogled by all at every turn. It's insulting. The only other women in the film (outside Diana's own kind) are presented as physically repulsive as if to imply that the wondrous thing about Diana is her beauty and not her strength and determination. On top of that, she's shown as naive.
Back on the surface though, it's a solid super hero movie that I quite enjoyed - a couple odd editing quibbles but nothing major. The closing scene was a bit hokey, but otherwise great. Under the surface, it's an insulting mess.
