Good movie, a little long

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2017)

I made the mistake of going to see this at 9 at night. As a stay at home mom with a toddler and a preschooler, this was not my best decision, but hey, margaritas were involved. Anyway, the movie was excellent but for a few mehs in my opinion.
First the pros, it was nice to see a strong female lead who was able to take care of herself. I know Diana is a comic character written years upon years ago, but I liked that the director and story moved with her development from a idealistic "girl" to a jaded woman to a demigod willing to protect humanity from itself if need be. I liked that she was physically superior to the male lead but didn't feel the need to flaunt it. And she could hold her own intellectually. I'm a huge action nerd, so the fight scenes were amazing! And, unlike Batman Vs Superman, which I had to force myself to finish, it had an involving story. I felt connected to the characters and enjoyed the telling of their story.
The cons, of course her outfit. I honestly couldn't imagine saying, "I'm going to fight the Nazis" (I can't even type it without hearing Brad Pitt from Inglorious Basterds doing voice-over) then pick out my shiniest unitard, and thigh high boots, but you do you girl. I also didn't like that, having read not one of the comics nor seen any reviews/articles on it, I was able to pick out the bad guy the first time he showed up on camera. Maybe I'm jaded, but it's getting way too easy to figure out who done it. And the Wonder Woman theme. Y'all, I had nightmares with that song playing over and over for days. They played it to the point I wanted to stuff the popcorn in my ears instead of my mouth.
All in all though, it was entertaining, it had a love scene, the fight scenes are still awesome (explosions everywhere!!!) and it had a great cast who did a terrific job selling the story.
