Absolutely love Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. It's just about perfect casting.2. Chris Pine is amazing, as always. 3. The whole "1984" thing was played up for some easy laughs (such as the obligatory breakdancing bit) but IMO they ended up using the themes fairly well (greed, cold war) as a backdrop.4. DC movies, as a whole, are much more "hit or miss" than MCU movies; MCU movies are much more consistent and "tight" but lack the differences that the DC movies do. 5. As an action movie, this wasn't great. Arguably, the best action sequence was the beginning (the flashback to Diana's childhood).6. As a movie movie, I enjoyed it. The biggest problem was that by having two "villains" neither of them as given the attention that I was hoping for. And the final combat, despite the awesome reveal of WW's gold suit, was really lame. Overall, it was a good movie, and I was genuinely moved by the end. Kinda sappy, but it worked for me. So long as you didn't think about it too much (wait ... no one was greedy enough not to renounce ... no one?).</blockquote>
