Not perfect but enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2017)

Not perfect and not the feminist icon that is herald to be, but it was kind of fun. Certainly better than several other super hero movies that have come out in the past few years. I particularly liked the first part on the island where the amazons shine. Young Diana is funny (Hello Mother! How are you today?" is my favourite quote of the movie) and the battle on the beach is really good. Antiope was the best character with Steve Trevor, I'm really sorry they both died. It was unnecessary certainly in her case, in his case he had to die as an act of human redemption.
As for other comments I agree that she is not the icon of independence and self determination that she usually is. And Steve Trevor drives the plot she follows. And she only finds her powers as result of the loss of her lover. Typically feminine. Life always spins around a man.
Many people who complain about the similarities with captain America seem to forget that they were born in the same year, 1941, during World War II. They unavoidably have some similarities.
People who complain about her destroying the tower when she jumps in I'm afraid never watched a DC cartoon in their lives or even the previous movies in which common people are tired of these super heroes destroying buildings and buldozing cities in their fights. Superhero movies don't have to be credible that way. As a matter of fact one of the positive things of this movie is that they kept her strength and also her capacity of taking a good beating as well as destroying buildings when she jumps into them.
