I have wondered for years why it took so long to get Wonder Woman to the big screen, and after seeing this, now we know: We were waiting for Gal Gadot to come along. She is perfect. I haven't been this impressed by a casting decision since Ian McKellan became Gandalf.

Saw WW over the weekend and was thoroughly impressed. Gal Gadot really brought her A-game, Chris Pine and his secretary were hilarious, great action sequences, extremely intense slow motion scenes and some well-placed, well-timed comedy.
The comedy was another well-done facet. Instead of clever Whedon-esque ripostes scattered among the <BIFF!s> and <KaPow!s> (which, admittedly, is what the comics do), the comedy was much more organic--part of the real-feeling situations and conversations.
The music was, though, 'way better than the awful trash surrounding BvS.
Again, I disagree. Zimmer's score for BvS is superb. Listen to "Beautiful Lie" (the title theme) again and get back to me.
Don't forget, that was the first time we heard "Is She With You?" — also used in Wonder Woman, of course!
And somebody call me when any of the other CBMs finally have anywhere near as good a score as those which accompany DC's movies (minus Green Lantern, because I can't remember squat, hahaha).

I thought it was interesting that the electric cello theme (which is everywhere through the trailers) was quite understated in the movie. I don't recall hearing it more than twice, and just during the times she was whacking the Huns.

ALL of the humor landed. All of it. Compare with the pie-in-face vocalizations of another recent CBM, all of which was forced and so not funny.

That's the one. I'm glad it was not overused. It works best when Diana is whoopin' ass.

Nope. I watched BvS OnDemand last night, listening through the end credits and realizing (and even my wife remarked spontaneously) that it was really, really awful.
"Is She With You" is great music to whack Huns by.
Why isn't her costume star spangled like the comic character?
