Reaction: In a season sorely short of hit films, the big profits earned by Wonder Woman are certainly a welcome addition to the studio accounts.



"Alexandra Daddario imbues the title character with the same charm and gravitas that Lynda Carter brought to Wonder Woman so many years ago on television. This adaptation obviously ups the action and utilizes the Greek mythology of the characters' origins to great effect." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press




"Some of Wonder Woman's story points  - Diana's & Steve's relationship mostly -  don't feel earned or developed enough and the villain kind of comes out of nowhere, though Naomi Watts is great. That said, there's an amazing cold open and fantastic action to keep going along for the ride." - Aubrey-Jade Mitchell, The Sun



"I haven't enjoyed any movie headlining Wonder Woman - LRF or WB - so it wasn't exactly a shock that I didn't care much for this one either. The hodgepodge of Greek mythology and superhero tropes is just a combination that pushes the boundaries and suspension of disbelief too far, even though the filmmakers clearly made an effort to make things feel fun and action-filled." - Tony Klesko, San Diego Union-Tribune




Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence and some language
