Gal Gadot was an interesting choice for the part. Not exactly what I would envision aesthetically as the ideal choice for the part, but she's a good enough contrast to the seemingly clueless male co-stars.

The beginning of the movie is quite lovely. Kudos to those responsible for picking out all the amazing backdrops, which distract you from the twisted plot. Great casting for Queen Hippolyta and Thia Eva (the Amazonian general), but some of the other Amazonians were also a bit much. They're stronger and more physically adept than any other women in the world. We get it.

I'm not a fan of everyone's treatment of Diana in general. Without offering any serious spoilers, her character is always viewed as "distracting" at various levels both on and off the island. The only way she gets attention is by being "loud Greek girl" or just ignoring everyone and jumping into the fray without a clue. The greatest possible weapon she could have -- full disclosure of who and what she really is -- is never offered to her. In truth, the back story of why she exists is a huge departure from the comic tale AND also an insult to the Amazonian myth that is being used as the backdrop of the story. Did Disney buy out DC Comics too?

Chris Pine is eye candy, as always, but the constant references to how spectacular a physical specimen he is (as part of countless plots in ALL his films) is getting old. Is it something he insists on having his his contracts? If not, it's too Tom Jones. Give him a new line, someone. PLEASE. He's actually a good actor otherwise.

Next, the only characters throughout the movie who have a positive view of strong/intellectual women are highlighted as "the bad guys" in major ways, which was very upsetting.

In short, it's not a proper Wonder Woman film and goes against the most fundamental precepts behind the creation of the character.

There ARE some humorous moments in the movie, including some of Diana's cluelessness about men and the modern world, but the joke is taken a little too far.

One of the funniest scenes is actually when she's dead serious and clad in blue. No spoilers, but she reminded me of every Greek mom I know in that one moment. Well done, Gadot.
