Considering he's often mentioned his daughters, I have to wonder just what the hell kind of world he thinks they live in.

After nearly two-and-a-half glorious hours of seeing things that have been far too long in coming, that Mnuchin credit was a cold and depressing reminder of real life and the opposite of everything that was good in the movie.

Aside from her intention to kill Ares, Diana in action was mostly in reaction to immediate, physical threats to herself and others.

That's very kind (and untrue) of you to say.

Re: WW being a "total dish".

Up until her showdown with Ares, Diana believed that war and the darkness in men's hearts was his doing.

Huh.

Went to see WW last Friday specifically to contribute to the opening weekend gross, so you're welcome.

At the Friday evening screening I was at the woman behind me, about two-thirds into the movie, was leaning forward with her crossed arms on the seat back in front of her, which just happened to be the seat to the left of me.

Cowboys and Corellians?

Can't say I teared up, but I can relate to the joy of the opening scenes despite criticisms of it being some kind of Xena knock-off.

The cute flirting and whatever happened between Diana and Steve at the hotel bothered me a bit at first as well, but in retrospect it makes a certain sense that Diana, having never seen a man before, would behave in a certain, schoolgirl-with-a-crush way despite having the wisdom of the ancients, which I thought Gadot

Since we don't know what ancient Greek actually sounded like, I'm fine with the idea that all the Amazonian accents reflected a tongue and/or dialect that's only been preserved by them.

The look of sheer joy on WW's face as she enters the fray was one of that movie's few saving graces.

Absolutely true, and as I mentioned in another comment, I thought I had missed a scenein which the armistice was announced to the soldiers because I was absolutely confused as to why the very young Germans in gas masks were suddenly taking them off like they were waking from a bad dream and hugging it out with their

Did not catch all the nods to Wonder Woman lore as many others, but did appreciate how Dianabristled at Steve Trevor calling her his "secretary", in refutation of that period in her comic history when she actually was the secretary to the other (male) superheroes of the Justice Society of America.

Having grown up with the Super Friends and Lynda Carter versions of Wonder Woman, childhood me understood that she was probably second in strength to Superman but could still be harmed by bullets and needed an invisible jet to fly.

Not as up-to-date on the current incarnations of Supes and WW, or as knowledgeable of their histories as many here, but it always seemed to me that the arguably two most powerful and god-like (or actual god in the case of WW) heroes in the DC universe would also be the most sincere since they have the power to shape
