THE GOOD:

- Gal Gadot

- the purity and dedication of the gender role reversals (and everything that goes along with that). this, needless to say, is the most thrilling and important factor here.

- Gal Gadot

- the lasso

- Gal Gadot

- WWI setting, which excuses a lot of the inexplicably appalling special effects, in its own saturday morning serial kinda way

- Gal Gadot

- Lucy Davis

- Gal Gadot

- all the bits in London

- Gal Gadot

- the actors who play the villains

- Gal Gadot

- this bullet-point format that allows me to get this over and done with while re-watching FUNNY PEOPLE for work.

THE BAD:

- the cringe-worthy framing device

-…

if the supposed era of postfeminism is best exemplified by a woman void of any personality kicking things/making a couple sly comments about corsets and secretaries for 8 seconds in a 2 hr 21 min movie/believing love can "save us" or some bullshit like that... i want out

96/100

Only love can truly save the world.

Remember when some trickster claiming to be a former worker from Warner Bros. wrote an open letter saying that Wonder Woman was just another mess of a DC movie, et cetera? I remember how Patty Jenkins responded to that. She tweeted: "Just wait and you'll see".

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could even consider that there was the slightest chance of this movie not being good, and I'm gonna tell you why: this is the very first big female-led superhero movie, in which the title character also happens to be the greatest female superhero in history. If you really think that Patty Jenkins, also the first woman to ever direct a…

Is it good?
Mmm... It's a tale of two halves, really. The first half is pretty good (and pretty MCU-ish), but the second half is pretty bad (and—and I know this is gonna sound like I'm a hater—pretty DCEU).

Okay... But is it good?
Promising?... But overall, unfortunately, no. It's almost there. They almost nailed it, but not quite.

But... but everybody who has seen it so far has said it's good?
I could see why people would like it. On the surface, it's mostly diverting and generally badass. I mean, how cool is it to finally see Wonder Woman star in her very own film? It's really cool (there's no denying that), and Wonder…
Review by Sally Jane Black 36

We oppose imperialism. As the most destructive action in the world, as the source of more war, death, and exploitation than anything this world has known since chattel slavery was born, imperialism is the highest, most vile, most horrifying aspect of capitalism, and we oppose it. We oppose the countries that engage in it. We oppose the armies that effect it. We oppose the racism that enables it. We oppose the economic outlook that devised it. And we oppose the lies that support it.

And we oppose those who spread those lies.

It's hard to watch this movie, as it is hard to watch a film about abuse where the lead actor is a known abuser, as it is hard…
Review by devincf ★★★★ 80

Movies are alchemy. I’ve said this before, and I’m sure I’ll say it many more times before I’m gone, but it’s the truth of the cinema: a magical, hard to harness process can turn a strip of film into something far more precious and meaningful.

Watch WONDER WOMAN with distant, unengaged eyes and you might see the seams, the places where reshoots came in or where the story is papered over in order to keep moving along to the next scene, where actors are standing in front of green screen or their faces have been plastered on a stunt double. But that’s the lead, and in the hands of Patty Jenkins it’s all turned into gold. What’s her secret? I…

Review by Guilherme Fernandes ★★★

"Tudo pra vocês é ohhhh". Essa é a mais pura verdade, o hype no lançamento de "Wonder Woman" reflete o vazio do cinema mainstream que temos hoje. Mas o filme é ruim? Não, não é.

Pulando a clara previsibilidade dos filmes de herói, as plásticas cenas feitas em computação gráfica e os esteriótipos do gênero, "Mulher Maravilha" cumpre o papel de filme pipoca com muita competência. Tem uma protagonista carismática, bons momentos de ação e uma trilha muito interessante.

Esqueça cenas dramáticas, viradas de roteiro surpreendentes e personagens com muitas camadas, essas não são as prioridades desse tipo de filme. Basta divertir o máximo de pessoas possível que já está bom. Como diversão escapista já serve.

É um filme mesmo sendo um pouquinho pretensioso consegue divertir e empolgar nos momentos certos. Até agora o filme mais legal do novo universo DC nos cinemas.

"I can save today, you can save the world"

Steve Trevor is a national treasure and Diana Prince is the best thing Zeus has given us. I love love loved this film, thank you Patty Jenkins 👌🏾💕 that was some good good shit.
Review by CBHampson ★★★★

Better the second time, though the sentimentality in the final 15 minutes still lands with a thud.
Review by Savina Smederevac ★★

Don't watch it. Except for the fact that the protagonist is a female, everything lingers the same as in other formula like movies.
Review by kir ★★★

the unending struggle of wanting to support female-led and directed movies, but also never want to see a literal zionist portray diana (or anyone, ever)

the most unrealistic part of this is that g@l g@dot was able to pretend to care about innocent children's lives being lost
Review by Edward Vincent ★★★½

Mom wanted to see what the fuss about Wonder Woman was all about. I wasn't really aware that there was any fuss, but I was surprised to see this movie in a Tuesday night with a sold out show, and audience participation.

I mean, the movie was good. But that good? I don't know about that.
Review by Ernie Lipshitz ★★★★★

So good that even my wife liked it.
Review by Edward Vincent ★★★½

Good to see WWI represented in a major Hollywood movie.
Review by Moviemaster ★★

Forrest Gump becomes a superhero. This film and "Big" would be a great double feature. Yeah, there are cultural diffrences between the amazons and man but after a while you get tired of Diana being such an idiot.

Also getting tired that every "race" have to be present in a movie. Of course there should be representation, but doing it this way is just bad storytelling. There's an indian, an arab and a scottsman, with pointless roles.
