I really enjoyed this, particularly the fish out of water scenes. Gal Gadot was convincing in this story of Wonder Woman that has her in World War I, rather than later. I really did like how Steve realised the battles he could win and the battles he would lose, and which were worth fighting. She's

such an interesting character and honestly there were many scenes I adored, particularly the scene with her trying on clothes.

One of the best Superhero movies I've seen. More please.

Amazingly dumb mythology.

LibraryThing member infjsarah

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Good story and characters without too much endless CGI fighting. Fun.

Well. Yes. What most of the positive reviews have said.
I thought Pine was very effective as the picaresque hero, and Gadot was, um, wonderful.

LibraryThing member datrappert

Superior superhero movie due to having a modicum of intelligence that most lack. Also, Gadot, though not a great actress, is a monumental presence and has charisma to spare. Chris Pine is excellent as the male lead, and the supporting cast is superb. The opening scenes with the backstory are a bit

slow but provide the necessary background info before the main story starts. The World War I setting is great. The climax is action-filled and violent, but doesn't go on endlessly and brainlessly as so many films of this genre do. Highly recommended.
