I loved Wonder Woman, the women in this film are so kick ass it's unreal. Also loved the secretary who played a small but hilarious role. Gal Gadot certainly did the role justice, very impressed with her. Great action especially with the Amazons, I hope they do a spin off film, they were brilliant. They also could have done without a few scenes but overall a good film.

8.5/10

A women only one would be great. There were a couple of gags where it just seemed to be the women in the audience laughing. Well the three men sat in the row in front of me were stone cold silent, other men were probably laughing, but it did seem telling at times. I also loved it, I had been eagerly anticipating it since Batman vs Superman and it did not disappoint. Gal Gadot really captured some of the fresh faced innocence compated yo the more world weary one we met in BvS.

Oh. There's no after credit scene. Was waiting for the toilet queue to go so we waited to see if there was one.

I saw this yesterday and rather enjoyed it. OK there are some holes in the storyline but it was an interesting time historically to place WW in. It would definitely make good viewing for teenage girls to see a female lead in a DC film.

I quite enjoyed it although not sure about the "baddie" Aries. On the bad side, It was awfully long and the jokes were a bit contrived. A fortune spent on locations though and Wonder Woman is gorgeous.

i saw this on friday at @duke of komedia in Brighton. It was much better than i expected... a few people had reservations about it especially the setting.. but as it was an origin story i felt it was ideal prep for future films. Thoroughly enjoyable.. as i feel this deserves a wider outing. Could they have been radical and used a different actress?? commercialism dictates that for such a brand. they could not

Oh man, sorry, oh woman!

Busy mixed screening, lots of young girls, pity they didn't get a story that had something worthwhile to say because the ingredients were there.

Terrible CGI made it look like still images were moving from point A to B. Reminded me of this - Slow motion made the action look fake, when they let something run in real time it was actually pretty good.

No sooner were we told that this woman might have special powers she was off on some deluded quest. Expert linguist and capable of taking on armies but struggles with revolving doors? Brave enough to go

'over the top'
but has to wear less clothes and look beautiful while doing it. Naive to the world but picks a side in a conflict in an instant and has no trouble destroying the 'bad guys'.

It had a slight feminine perpsective, interesting setting and I like the theme but they could have done something really interesting about diplomacy during the armistice, using power to avoid conflict until it can't be, truth and independence. We got the same thing we always do. At least she didn't crush the evil, ugly scientist because... I don't know. Women?
