Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Agreed with most of your points except the choreography. I think I'm too spoiled with dope Asian flicks like The Raid that everything else pales in comparison. The Church getting smashed made me think of the bystanders. Probably thinking, "HEY, I got married there, lady!" Would make for a funny Movie Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode lol. Wonder Woman's healing or...maybe aura of invincibility made it hard for me to be invested in her battles. Especially when she gets smacked and slammed by Ares and not even her hair or clothes are messed up.

Superhero shows are trash
Next to the Godfather and Citizen Kane most movies pale in many ways,
don't mean one can not enjoy......... even down right love many of them, no?
While I enjoyed the movie a lot, very well done, I was displeased that Amazons were super under powered in the movie compared to the comics versions which they could actually go toe to toe with kryptonians for a while at least in most versions I have seen. But in the movie a gun shot can kill them...that just does not sit right by me. I get they did that so its more believable but it would have been cool if they found a way to keep them still somewhat super. Anyone else feel this way?
Oh, that goes without saying. I've gone to see every major CBM so far, even the much-maligned (deservedly so, IMO) FANT4STIC and Green Lantern (but only parts of Catwoman). THe film where DC's top guns get together to kick Apokolips butt? I'm there on opening night, man.
If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

Finally got to see the film, and it was a good one. I don't find it great (BvS and Avengers remain at the top of my personal super-heroes movies quality chart) but it is definitely a solid origin story, in a complicated setting (WWI) and that's all I wished it was, at the very least. But I still feel that the end is clunky and awkward, and that this film fails to explain why Diana turned her back on Mankind. I really think that it should have ended in London with the allies wishing to use Dr. Maru's weapon or study it for "further usage in the future" and Trevor sacrificing himself to prevent it for her to retreat in the background.
