Yay!
Edit: not quite sure why my response was a "Yay!" there, guess I just like Wrath.

All I know is that Marvel has to up it's game with their plans for movies like Black Panther and Captain Marvel, because DC seems to have figured it out, and is now coming out swinging, Amazon princess in the lead. Good for them!
I have absolute faith in DC's ability to return to suckage no matter how well Wonder Woman does, critically and at the box office.

But to hope the film fails just because you're "not a fan?" Maybe just accept that this film wasn't meant for you, and let those who are fans enjoy it? Me? I'm excited to finally see a woman lead in a solo superhero summer blockbuster. I wish I had young nieces or female cousins to take to it.
Ah. Your right, no one is forcing me to go see it. (because i won't)
Any chance i get to trash on this movie, i'll take it. I may not have the popular opinion, but i'm still allowed to express it.Your also right on this; The truth is that the film is in no way meant for me. My biggest problem is that i like Wonder Woman, and wanted her portrayed accurate to the depiction in the Comics (as an Amazon Warrior) and my own personal head canon (based in amazonian Greek Myth). She will be the first Greek character in any comic cinematic universe that isn't an assassin, terrorist, goofy, or a villain. This movie was super important to me.
I also agree that its time we see a Female Lead in a Comic Movie, and Wonder Woman is iconic.
I still hope the movie fails, but only in the sense for it to go to another director who can do the movie better, and pick an appropriate lead.
Gal is a horrible fit for the role, and as much as others have attacked Gina's acting ability, Gal isn't winning Oscars any time soon on hers. (i only attack Gal on her choreography in Batman Vs Superman)
I would venture to say that Gina isn't a great actress, but certainly more believable than Gal when portraying an Action Role like this.

There is a nice hook to start it with too.
Dr. Poison.She survived and she knows Diana's true nature (as she was right there in the middle of her chat with Ares). She would know that for Germany to win the next war Diana needs to be stopped. She would probably go into research mode and discover

The only Weapon that could kill a God.

I would say the movie is decent and enjoyable but fails to be a truly great movie.
For a movie dealing with such a complex thematic as the warmongering nature of humankind the end result is too simplistic. There too many missing opportunities. The way the final battle ends is quite disappointing also.

That all said, I don't know if the world is ready for a movie in which the big climactic ending is the hero convincing the villain that he's made a bad life choice and needs to rethink his priorities. And so we get CGI-palooza, again, and another empty two-dimensional villain, and a hero who solves her problems by punching face.
I loved the first third of the movie, set on Themiscrya, and toddler Diana was cute as heck. I liked some individual bits of the middle, with the amazing No Man's Land power-walk, and, more importantly, all the scenes leading up to it, where Diana is visibly shaken by all of the wounded and struggling people she can't save, with Steve constantly dragging her forward, until she finally says 'F this' and slaps his hand away and goes and makes a difference, just like he's been telling her she can't do, that she can't stop to save people, until she did. I loved that. Until the town she saved just arbitrarily got gassed, and suddenly Wonder Woman was wrong and Steve Trevor was right. She didn't make a difference. She might as well have kept walking. Stomped right on the message, there. And then Ares needs to be beaten up in a dramatic climactic final battle to save the day, which is the end of every other super-hero movie.
I wanted something more, something better, something new, and I got the same thing I had for dinner last week, and the week before. It wasn't bad, but it didn't exactly break new ground, like I'd hoped.

Funny thing.
I was waiting the opposite I believe. A more darker thing where after killing some german soldiers suddenly there were not so clearer distinction between good and evil.
When she killed the german general and the war went on I had hopes for a better ending. But then she killed Ares (in a very boringly cliché way) and the war ends and everyone are friends again...what a shallow ending.

On the other hand:
Because Steve had already won the war by destroying the plane. What was left was a fight for the soul of Diana and humanity.

yes, but
Though what you say is something I have to consider more carefully.

.... that was World War 2, not World War 1.
Ehhhhhh.... actually THAT rabbit hole makes his point even moreso- The Central Powers were not much (if at all) worse than the Allies in World War I on moral/ethical grounds. For Germany's brutal occupation of Belgium, see the Allies' postwar Middle Eastern land grab...
I think the movie made some gestures toward "most Germans aren't lunatics like Ludendorff and Doctor Poison," but they really seem to want to avoid making Diana think too much about the guys whose skulls she's caving in.

Eh, easy to understand. For one, not being compared to Captain America First Avenger AND using a bit less used era as a background. And that "war is bad and there are no bad guys expect maybe metaphysical ones influencing men" is so much easier to done with morally grey WW1 than more contrasted WW2 were there pretty much WAS a clear bad guys.

On the whole the Germans we see are worse, but the Allies are not covering themselves in glory here.

Lundadork(sp) was not really interesting with his WH40K Commissar BLAMing. I doubt his lifespan would be any significant length even if WW didn't face him after the rest of German high command finds out.
Erich Ludendorff's a historical person even. And not a very nice one, after the war he pushed the 'we would've won if not betrayed by the civilians' myth and coined the phrase 'Total War,' and wrote a book advocating it. Him being Ares is not all that far fetched!
