They were most assuredly not living in caves and ruins. And I'd be more interested in them being shown as special based on their skills and personal capabilities rather than using magic tools or weapons.
Now, one could say that the lack of magical creatures was a flaw, but to me it's just background. The important thing is Amazon society, not their environment. And one can certainly make a case for technologically advanced Amazons, but to me it's still not a primary aspect of them. The Amazons of the movie felt like a version of the Amazon society that felt respectful to Marston's vision of them, just as Perez's and Simone's takes did. Azzarello's (or for that matter Morrison's in "Earth One") didn't.
