I thought there was something different about it. Lots of tender moments. Lots of character exploration.
Im not surprised that it was directed by a female.

And how can no one here see how misandrist the Amazonian women are?? They all taught WW that men are the root of all evil and that sex with men is only good for reproduction. Because most of the people here aren't insecure, psychotic sexist pigs, so they don't hallucinate things that aren't there the way you do all the time.

Frankly, the fact that so many of these feminists would rather see other women doing stuff that men do every day... makes me wonder if they're all lesbians and just won't admit it. I mean, after all, it seems like only women can be good men right? When men are trying to do something good for his family or society, it just perpetuates the fictional patriarchy. Been around 57 yrs. I still hit those- [sigh] "again"?- incidents far too often. Other gals have to know what I mean.

Im not surprised that it was directed by a female. i kinda hate to admit it but I was surprised (that a woman was given the chance and also could deliver an action super hero blockbuster movie like this). Good surprise though

I'm not really one to notice specific "director" decisions in a film so I don't think it mattered to me whether it was a man or a woman who directed it. Some of the characterizations that have been accredited to the director in this thread probably should go to the writer anyways, who it must be noted was male. I hope we can get past the point where something like this is considered a "big deal" just because of the gender of the director.
I remember it being a big deal almost 10 years ago when Twilight was directed by a woman, but in all honesty she didn't do a very good job and was basically fired from the sequels. If it wasn't for the insanely strong fanbase of the books, I think the franchise would have died right there. But I can say the same thing about the The Hunger Games, which was directed by a man.

The movie was part of the corporate red carpet (Mad Max 4, Atomic Blonde) for Hillary's presidential reign, unfortunately for them (but not the world) it didnt work out as they hoped.
Lots of fuss about feminism in movies for nothing. The earliest warrior woman character in a movie I can think of is "Mountain Girl" from the 1916 Intolerance.
Friedan and Steinem were outsiders to the society they were criticizing. They should have directed their patriarchal criticisms at their own religious-ethnic culture.
In the 1939s Germany had female test pilots (one of them was featured in a Pioneers of Aviation show in Canada but Jewish groups protested so they removed her from it).

I hope we can get past the point where something like this is considered a "big deal" just because of the gender of the director. but it is a "big deal" whatever you want to see it that way or not - just simple statistics. Name another few big/successful (by box office and critics) action/super hero movies directed by a woman. See? There is a reason why thats so difficult. Now we can argue what the reason is: it may be that women dont like superhero action movies as much, it may be that they suck at directing, it may be that they are not trusted as directors of superhero action movie, it may be some other reason. But you cant argue that the percentage of male directors of action/superhero movies and female directors of action movies (lets forget successful for a bit, to give you a wider space to operate) is anywhere near similar. It is just not. :-) So the fact this appeared is a "big deal". Again, we don't know the reason for the disproportionality and I am certainly not saying it must be discrimination, I just like to explore and look at things from all different perspectives. Including the one that the critics gave this too high of a rating BECAUSE it was a female driven and female directed movie and they didnt want to seem sexist. Similar with Get Out / the score also felt a little TOO high…and the critics didnt want to be called racist. Perhaps. Perhaps not. I liked both the movies but would give them lower scores. 75 for Wonderwoman and 90 for Get Out. As far as what credits goes to whom - writers influence plot and dialogue. Thats huge, yes. but not detrimental to the movie. How individual lines are said, under what atmosphere, in what tone, pacing, music, effects, posture, dynamics between characters etc - all of that goes to the director. You can do thousand different things with one line. You can make the same line into a comedy, horror, drama, you can make it awkward or funny, all depends on how you direct it.

I didn't see any feminist agenda at all. If anything, this couldn't be a better example of the objectification of women that feminists have been bitching about for years, lol. Superman and Batman get a full body suit, and WW gets a glorified stripper costume? Amazons are a part of the Greek mythology - they had a very different attitude to nakedness and by their standards she's well covered.

It was a very good movie, and thankfully it didn't steep into modern day libtard feminism. Yes I knew that the film director was a woman beforehand, but that didn't change anything. And to add to that, hundreds of people work on big budget films like this, so it's always a team effort, it's not one director regardless of sex that is responsible for it.

My usual problem with most Hollywood movies starts and ends with the script. WW script is above average but still cliche-ridden, It's a good hit for DC and Gadot was surprisingly good but I hope they will do better...
