  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

  -…

  Review by Sally Jane Black 38

  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…

  Has all the infectious wit and charm and momentum of the first IRON MAN, a similarly perfectly cast lead brimming with charisma, and also the terrible third act.

  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…

  Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that I love Wonder Woman. She has always been an icon to me. It was actually the animated Justice League cartoon and Susan Eisenberg (who voiced her in the show) that got me to love her. The way she cares so much for humanity and sees that there is good despite the bad, it was so valuable to me as a little girl.

  So, I never understood, as a child, why she never had her own film. I saw little boys pretending to be Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man and they all had movies they could watch over and over and over again. It was kind of frustrating because Diana is just…
