The film does its job of setting up the backstory of Wonder Woman but it shouldn't be receiving as much praise as it is getting.

At the start, you get back story of her and the world the universe is in but if you are a good listener and use logic, you will know something is amiss and you get frustrated at Diana for not figuring it out for herself, this casts a bad shadow over the rest of the film in my opinion as I had that as a constant nagging thought. Which also ruined the 'plot twist'.

The cinematography for the action was the main good thing for me. They slowed it down so you can see the punches make contact and it isn't flurried random action. However, the permanent gray filter after leaving the Amazonians Island can make it difficult to see at times. However, I have one major complaint in relation to the action. You see people get shot and stabbed but there is no blood whatsoever. People are mortally wounded and killed by guns but there is no wounds or blood. Diana tries to put pressure on a wound of a friend that doesn't exist and when she removes her hand it isn't bloodied.

This issue makes the film extremely unrealistic despite it trying to be gritty and realistic.

Also, it isn't reassuring that at my screening, people were not laughing at the 'comedy moments'(which if you like cringey awkward misunderstanding humour you will love it) but they were instead laughing at what were meant to be serious scenes.

Besides the action scenes, it was just okay. I personally did not end up invested in the romance or any of the characters and it wasn't funny when it was trying to be.

Just go watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.
