It definitely was made more for the female viewer, but the story, action sequences and acting were stellar.
It has been my wife and I's opinion that one of the main reasons there has never been a Wonder Woman movie.....ever, is essentially Linda Carter WAS Wonder Woman. That it was originally cast so well, that no one else could pull it off. Well Gal Gadot IS IS IS Wonder Woman. They could not have cast it better.
Take your chick! See this slick!
I adored Lynda Carter (still do) and as campy as the old show was I still love it. I was thinking during the movie (and you're right, it is great) you know, if all this shit is just computer generated effects and the actors were standing in front of a green screen I would just as soon have the campy fake effects of the old show in this movie as the state of the art fake effects of computers. Also, I was really disappointed that our heroine did not spin around when she needed to shift gears from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman.
But those petty criticisms aside, I am not a sci-fi fan, not an action movie fan, about the least likely guy in the world to go to Comic-Con... and I still liked the movie. And the next day I found myself thinking, man, that was a really political movie.
I wonder if you or anyone else who saw it thought there were some really strong political messages in the movie? Did you?

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
