Good but nowhere as perfect as people are claiming

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2017)

In Batman V Superman the appearance of Wonder Woman was one of the few highlights of the movie. How well does Wonder Woman do on her own?
First let me start by saying how much I Love Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, she's ass kicking strong and her naivety is cute. I was expecting some pointless sexy poses in the movie but to my surprise there are none. And honestly, this movie doesn't need that. The movie portraits the Amazons with dignity and shows them as true warriors instead of women in sexy outfits.
I loved how the story of the Gods/Mankind was told during the first couple of scenes of the movie. It had the art style of the pieces of art you see in a museum and it was visually pleasing.
The fighting scenes were good but nothing we haven't seen before. Apparently slow motion is still the way to go to add to the coolness of a fighting move.
I enjoyed the humor in the movie, there were some situations that made me chuckle.
The acting was okay for a superhero movie, Chris Pine and Gal Gadot did a good job but the rest are okay/below average.
Talking about average, the story wasn't that great. It had everything you want in an origin story but there are also plenty of plot holes. Apparently it takes less than a day to get from Themyscira to London with a sailboat. Wonder Woman completely blows her trainer away with a shock-wave but everyone on the island acts like it's a normal thing for Diana to do. The bracelets, there is no explanation why she has them and why they are able to block firepower. I could go on but I don't want to be too picky.
Okay, one final thing, Ares is a dork. There is nothing cool about him. The "twist" was cool I guess but couldn't they have cast a less dorky guy as the main bad guy?
