Considering Wonder Woman has been around for 75 years as a DC Comics commodity, it’s surprising it’s taken this long to see one of DC’s most well-known superheroes on the big screen. There are high hopes for Patty Jenkins’ take on Wonder Woman, and people have been nervous about the outcome – but early screenings of the film are garnering some very positive reactions, with some even calling it the best DC Extended Universe movie yet.
Here’s a round-up of some of the early, non-spoilery verdicts.
I can finally share my thoughts on #WonderWoman! I really loved it; it's not perfect, but its charms won me over. @GalGadot is WONDERful.

A couple of people have asked: yes, in my opinion the best DCEU film to date. #WonderWoman has a welcome joy to it.

Wonder Woman is the DC movie I've been waiting for. It's exciting, inspiring, funny, and has some truly awe-inspiring action scenes.

There are certainly some issues, like a mismatched 3rd act, but I'll discuss that in a longer review. Overall though, Wonder Woman rules.

Loved WONDER WOMAN. She reminds me of Christopher Reeve's Superman: true north superhero w/ no angst or cynicism, which is needed right now.

WONDER WOMAN is great. My favorite of the recent DC movies. It's fierce, funny, well-written and badass. @GalGadot owns it. Her lasso FTW pic.twitter.com/rQ0ufZxWXP

My reaction to @WonderWomanFilm : exciting, powerful, bold, epic, simply wonderful and – best of all – absolutely empowering.

2. Gal Godot is absolutely phenomenal as #WonderWoman. She KILLS it, just surprisingly good. A truly heroic light DCEU desperately needs.

Was expecting to hate the relationship stuff, loved it. The fish out of water dynamic between Gadot and Pine make this film shine.
