Forbes:

DC Comics' Best Film Since 'The Dark Knight

https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2017/05/30/wonder-woman-review-dc-comics-best-film-since-the-dark-knight/#1220b7382aff

ScreenCrush: 7/10

Still, even with its issues, Wonder Woman is exciting, romantic, funny — and my favorite DC Extended Universe movie to date. With her courage and strength, Diana sets an example for everyone she meets, and she holds fast to her ideals even under great pressure. With any luck, she’ll provide similar inspiration to the directors of the DC Extended Universe in the years ahead.

USA Today: 3.5/4

Wonder Woman is the best movie Marvel rival DC Comics has put out in its own cinematic universe, and unlike the recent parade of bleak superhero tales from both studios, it makes you feel good while you watch it.

The Hollywood Reporter:

As the world’s most well-adjusted superhero, Wonder Woman breaks the genre mold. She’s openhearted, not angsty — an anomaly within the DC Universe, “Extended” or otherwise. So too is her long-awaited foray into the live-action big-screen spotlight: That openheartedness makes the movie something of an outlier.

Star Tribune:

Yet, like the heroine at its center, "Wonder Woman" the movie rises with powerful grace above the noise. It's not perfect, but it's often good, sometimes great and exceptionally re-watchable.

IndieWire: A-

“Wonder Woman” is as much about a superhero rising as it is about a world deserving of her, and Diana’s hard-won insistence on battling for humanity (no matter how frequently they disappoint) adds the kind of gravitas and emotion that establishes it as the very best film the DCEU has made yet. There’s only one word for it: wonderful.

The Guardian: 2/5

Yes, yes, I know: “It’s only a comic-book movie.” And on the level of big-budget trash, Wonder Woman is great fun. But there were hopes for something more.

EW: A-

It’s hard to quibble about what’s wrong with a movie that gets so much right, especially when it comes to Gadot’s revelatory portrayal of Wonder Woman. The wait is over, folks. The DC movie you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived

http://ew.com/movies/2017/05/30/wonder-woman-ew-review/?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter

Variety:

Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman” provides a welcome respite from DC’s house style of grim darkness — boisterous, earnest, sometimes sloppy, yet consistently entertaining — with star Gal Gadot proving an inspired choice for this avatar of truth, justice and the Amazonian way.

IGN: 7.9

It does, and Wonder Woman proves to be an emotionally resonate film that won me over with its refreshing take on the superhero formula that featured something we haven’t seen in the DCEU yet: a true, bona fide hero.

Empire: 4/5

After a few false starts, the DC Extended Universe has its first truly terrific entry under its belt. About damn time.

http://www.empireonline.com/movies/wonder-woman/review/

The Sun: 4/5

Let’s get down to brass tacks straight away – Wonder Woman has absolutely saved DC’s a**e here.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3677433/trilogy-of-underwhelming-dc-comic-films-saved-by-director-patty-jenkins-new-wonder-woman-movie/

Chicago Tribune: 3.5/5

Gal Gadot grabs the Lasso of Truth and the bracelets of infinite resilience to take center stage in “Wonder Woman,” director Patty Jenkins’ formidable and almost entirely successful bid to make the DC Comics movies a little less lame.

Den of Geek! 4/5

We are inundated with these stories on our screens both large and small, but they are pointless if they are not made to mean something. Many don’t, and they will likely be forgotten as filler in a decade’s time, but there’s a care and an thematic ambition to Wonder Woman that elevates it above, and against the odds the fact that this is one of so few female-led examples of the genre becomes a mere side note.

Entertainment Weekly: A-

But now, with their latest superhero saga, they can finally stopping chewing their cuticles — if there are any left. Wonder Woman is smart, slick, and satisfying in all of the ways superhero films ought to be. How deliciously ironic that in a genre where the boys seem to have all the fun, a female hero and a female director are the ones to show the fellas how it’s done.

I'll be updating just like the last thread. As you can tell I've been waiting to do a review thread for awhile for Wonder Woman.

 

[STILLethal]

So it's good?

 

[ReiGun]

~Once more, With feeling~

 

[Wanderer5]

Yay pretty soon. Fingers crossed, but things are looking bright.

 

[Anung]

The Wonder Woman Review Thread - This time with reviews.

 

[Escape Goat]

How about we create threads when embargo is lifted.

 

[Jake2by4]

Crow will be served.

 

[watership]

Armond White is going to love this movie.

 

[DecoReturns]

Guessing the old thread got locked

 

[Bronx-Man]

The moment of truth.

 

[Saya]

 

[Psychoward]

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

 

[dark-knight]

Here we goooo i'm pumped! Bring it on, 75%+ at least

 

[shira]

Welcome to freshness DCEU

 

[Quick]

Can't wait.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I would mansplain everything and anything she wanted me to mansplain

 

[brandonh83]

I want this to be great.

This needs to be great. What it represents, how eager Gal must be to finally have this thing out, her real moment in the spotlight after being cast as the character years ago, what it can do for female characters/heroes in films.

 

[Killa Sasa]

Hope it's dope and people seem to be excited about it. A good movie is a good movie!

 

[kewlmyc]

Didn't we already have a thread? Did trolls and rage get it shut down?

Seeing this this weekend, so hopefully it's good.

 

[Radec]

Please be good.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I would mansplain everything and anything she wanted me to mansplain

 

[Escape Goat]

Crow will be served.

You can't eat crow when there's an abundance of evidence to expect less than stellar quality. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Though that isn't to say I don't want to see a good Wonder Woman movie.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

I'm ready

 

[Future Foundation]

Didn't we already have a thread? Did trolls and rage get it shut down?

Seeing this this weekend, so hopefully it's good.

Got closed because it was made a bit too early.

 

[Anth0ny]

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Welcome to hell heaven?

 

[Smokey_Run]

Didn't we already have a thread? Did trolls and rage get it shut down?

Seeing this this weekend, so hopefully it's good.

It went up 15 hours early with no real reviews.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

Just let them have this.

 

[ReiGun]

Spoiler for this thread: It's good, brehs.

 

[kswiston]

Didn't we already have a thread? Did trolls and rage get it shut down?

Seeing this this weekend, so hopefully it's good.

Ghaleon shut it down because it was a review thread created 15 hours early with few reviews. Everyone was pretty civil, but I can see how having 20+ pages before RT posts a single review isn't all that friendly to new eyes.

 

[TI82]

Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. Gal Gadot is horrible though even in the newest trailers I can't stand her

 

[Admiral Woofington]

"Wonder Woman I'm sure you think you will get good reviews, but let me tell you how to do it"

 

[BTM]

And we're back! 20 minutes to go

 

[watership]

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

There will be very positive reviews for what this film represents. The actual quality of the film itself outside of the hype and moment in time.. that'll sort itself out years from now. If it's middling or even good, it'll be seen as huge success. Simply because female action heroes are few and far between, and this is THE icon female heroine. It's going to be polarising regardless. I hope it's good. The character deserves it.

 

[Tansut]

What's this from?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I miss the old thread.

 

[dcelw540]

Which makes sense, I felt bad I thought it came out at 9am but actually at 9pm. But I hope this thread is okay at staying open since it's less then 15 minutes left.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I miss the old thread.

The past is prologue, GOB.

Look to the future!

 

[Bronx-Man]

I miss the old thread.

Locked with only like five hours to go, too!

 

[shoelacer]

Why are there two review threads for this

 

[Ashhong]

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

I'm so happy you cared so much to make this thread for us weird people

 

[Baroquemantic]

What's this from?

Heaven

 

[Holiday]

Gal will melt away the naysaying with her radiance.

 

[ReiGun]

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

No weirder than the people who are personally invested in seeing these movies fail.

Comic movie fandom is weird.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

Well this thread certainly started meaner than the last one did.

 

[Sub_Level]

They expect one of us in the wreckage brother.

 

[Zackat]

I am ready. I shouldn't be up this late but screw it!

 

[Future Foundation]

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

Aw, and here I was hoping this thread was actually gonna be as fun as the old one.
