- 91IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandWonder Woman is as much about a superhero rising as it is about a world deserving of her, and Diana’s hard-won insistence on battling for humanity (no matter how frequently they disappoint) adds the kind of gravitas and emotion that establishes it as the very best film the DCEU has made yet. There’s only one word for it: wonderful.
- 91Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyEntertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyWonder Woman is smart, slick, and satisfying in all of the ways superhero films ought to be. How deliciously ironic that in a genre where the boys seem to have all the fun, a female hero and a female director are the ones to show the fellas how it’s done.
- 90TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeIn the recent flood of superhero movies, several have managed to be quite good — but Wonder Woman ranks as one of the few great ones.
- 90New York Daily NewsStephen WhittyNew York Daily NewsStephen WhittyWe get it, and DC finally should, too: Superhero movies can be fun. And Wonder Woman is a movie that'd send even the Suicide Squad home smiling.
- 88Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsFor the first time in a long time, I came out of a DC comic book movie feeling ready for a sequel. It feels right, at this actual historical moment, when men made of something less than steel are bumbling around trying to run things. Paging Paradise Island!
- 88USA TodayKelly LawlerUSA TodayKelly LawlerA genuinely surprising film that plays with genre and throws out the now very tired superhero movie formula. It’s an action film, a romantic comedy and a coming-of-age story and a period piece and a war movie all in one. Above all, it’s a hopeful story about humanity.
- 80VarietyAndrew BarkerVarietyAndrew BarkerWonder Woman is the first major studio superhero film directed by a woman, and it shows in a number of subtle, yet important ways.
- 80We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWe Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWonder Woman is a gorgeous, powerful display of epic storytelling that makes me wish this was Gadot’s first chance to play Diana Prince. It’s the roaring introduction she deserves, and a hopeful shift in DC culture that hints at what’s about to come.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAs with all comics-based extravaganzas, brevity is anathema to the Patty Jenkins-directed Wonder Woman, and it doesn’t quite transcend the traits of franchise product as it checks off the list of action-fantasy requisites.
- 58The PlaylistRodrigo PerezThe PlaylistRodrigo PerezYes, it’s the DCEU’s best film, but as we know, that’s not saying a lot. But, hey, that terrific second act that we should cling to even if it’s a distant memory by the time love defeats aggression. “Wonder Woman” might be molded by the mighty Gods, but as shaped by mere mortals her mettle and beliefs and can be only so wonderfully divine.
