Wonder Woman - Official Movie Review 

Ben needs to be on the show more often

Yeah!!!!! The Whole Gang is Back and 20 Min Review My day just keep getting better

Oh wow Ben actually still works there.

Its amazing how Matt always has something cringeworthy to say...

Christy is such a beautiful woman.

I can see comparison with Leeloo from The Fifth Element... an innocent woman who is devastated by the effects of violence and war and wants to help someway somehow.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this is the best reviewed WB/DC movie but ends up being the least box office grossing.

Whenever I hear off camera paper shuffling, I know it's Ben.

How great is to read/watch reviews about a DC movie without a knot in my stomach. It feels good.

This movie caught me by surprise. It was very entertaining through and throughout. 8/10 and the best comic book movie together with Logan (10/10!) since The Winter Soldier. I actually have hopes for DCEU now especially after Matt Reeves has been signed on to make The Batman! Keep Patty Jenkins in stall to make more Wonder Woman movies along with Reeves' Batman and the future looks bright for DCEU.

I'm really glad that Ben stuck to his point on war. Holywood is so pro war, even in movies acclaimed as being "anti war". Americans hardly know what it even is to be against war, it's so ingrained in us, as Ben points out.

"I am a girl and I wanna talk" LOL

The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I was more than 38 million: there were over 17 million deaths and 20 million wounded, ranking it among the deadliest conflicts in human history.

DC has brought life into its bones with wonder woman! Great movie!! I'm a guy, and I loved it!

Holy shit, Ben Mankiewicz!

Yeah ben is back...need more ben

I liked how this movie portrayed war and the battle sequences weren't so brutal that they were inappropriate for kids, it was made to be a family movie and I liked all the male characters in this movie except for General Ludendorff.

Good for Ben on bringing up war issues and US killing, too.

oh hi Mark

Ben always nails it

I get the Man of Steel joke, about Superman not saving people during zods fight. But major differences of not only location, population, more than 1 opponent and mastery of combat skills but, Clark was raised in a different reality than Diana. She grew up in paradise, training. He was an orphan in a society, very much like ours. He is way more under-developed in a combat and rescue sense than WW. come on now.

I absolutely loved this movie. Easily the best DC movie since Dark Knight and even better than most movies Marvel has made. It actually gave me hope for Justice League.

I take Ben's point. Not only our movies but even our books are part of a military-entertainment complex. That said, I'm still greatly looking forward to this -- and I have to admit, I came very close to feeling roused to go see Keeping Up With the Joneses.

Yes! Wonder Woman, and yes! Ben is back.

I kinda want Matt's shirt. I love how it's kinda faded colors except under the collar

All these up and coming male directors get huge chances in the industry. Be nice to give more women the chance to show off like this.

Also love WW accent.....yum. Shocking, no Lynda Carter cameo. Powerful movie start to finish.

I stil have to wait 5 days till Wonder Woman hits theaters here. Damn you Netherlands

Who run the world? 😎 GAL! 👧💪

Was that opening line meant to reference "All the world is waiting for you" from the 70's TV series theme lyrics? Or just happy accident?

Films like these are usually violent. Raiders of the Lost Ark is set during WW2. I think that is probably OK because it's an action film. We do need stories that tell the reality of War, films like Saving Private Ryan. I just think for an action film having funner violence is usually ok because they are stories of Good vs Evil.

The hardest critics to please and they loved it?? Just hyping me up more for seeing it later today.

After seeing Wonder Woman and her theme music started playing in BvS, I wanted to watch her movie. This was a very good movie and one of the best super hero movies. Gadot was a charming, exotic beauty while looking really good kicking some ass. The chemistry between Gadot and Pine was also charming and caused the audience to care for them. The story was pretty good and the pacing with the drama, humour and action was done quite well. Nicely done by Patty Jenkins she could be what Nolan was to Batman, she should direct the next Wonder Woman movie. I think her next conversation to Warner Bros should be show me the money baby. ----- Spoiler alert --------- It's a shame Buttercup died quite early in the movie. This is not a big deal but when she killed fake Ares with a sword she leaves it on the roof and had to get it back when real Ares pops in. That was ridiculous, she's a well trained warrior man and first rule of fight club is never leave your sword and shield behind. Steve Trevor's death was done quite well, it was touching and adds gravitas to their relationship and story. Also Spud was Ares? WTF now that was a twist.

Why are these guys always getting tons of dislikes regardless whether they give a positive review towards a movie or not? They are just merely giving their opinions - you do not have to follow them.

Also. They give spoilers on here. Don't watch it or skip to end to hear their final numbers and takes.

I am new to this channel..so i may not know as much as the other regular viewers pf this particular show but i think the right most guy makes some amazing points regarding the movie.

I felt like the movie may drag but before I knew it we were at the end. Lot of the humor in the end of the 1st act and in the 2nd act we're great. (They're not jokes. Jokes have punchlines.) Gal Gadot was very charming and see why she was cast as Diana. Her sense of humor for sure won the casting directors over. The villain was rushed by basically being underdeveloped but I think Patty Jenkins handled that masterfully. That could have easily been a wreck. The moments between Gadot and Pine were perfect. Just wish we had a couple of more before the end which really creeps up on you because the first two acts fly by. Movie's only and biggest flaws were the villain and a few cheesy lines and moments at the end. You can tell the wanted to make this a lighter movie. But all-in-all it's hard to find much wrong with it. It's not the most amazing movie ever, but at the same time there's hardly anything wrong besides those two things and does a lot of great stuff. 8.9/10

I am one of those parents with a 6 year old girl that I so would like to bring to see the movie to be able to show her a female lead kicking ass, but will hold off until she's a bit older. It'll definitely be added to the collection at home for when viewing is appropriate.

where did you get that captain America shirt?? What brand is it?? It's awesome!

It's been a long time since I have seen Matt Atchity in a review. Damn, did that guy ever trim down. Good for him!

Manciewicz called Gadot enormously talented! He is gonna get hell for that one! I like her and she in my opinion is not as bad as many claim, but she is affable and charismatic at best! At least right now!

RU-vid has made everyone a movie critic now. Yes, as an audience we've become wiser and expect more from movies like story and special effects. But what happened for just enjoying a movie. A movie is only as good as the expectations it sets and it really comes down to whether the movie is worth seeing in the theater, is it worth seeing worth seeing at home, or is it worth seeing at all. Everyone has their guilty pleasure movie that are terrible but they love watching it. Then they are good movies that some people find boring as hell( The Revenant im looking at you). It's really about preferences and what you expect. In my opinion, Wonder Woman is worth seeing in the theater. I enjoyed it for what it was and I look forward to see where they take the character.

Before I click: "20 min? I wonder why" After I click: (see Ben) "oh......"

I found what you guys said about Batman v Superman pretty odd. I mean out of all the movies in the superhero genre, Bvs is like THE movie above wonder woman, and civil war that actually showed the real brutality, consequences, and harsh realities/horrors of these superhero fights.

rotten tomatoes is from warner so yes Matt you're paid by warner !

IN THE MOVIE OF WONDER WOMAN DIANA'S MOTHER HAD SAID THAT SHE'S NOT AN AMAZON LIKE THE REST OF THE AMAZONS AND SHE SHOULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT SHE IS AND HOW SHE BECAME TO BE AN AMAZON. WHAT WAS IT THAT DIANA WASN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW

No spoiler i promise 🤚🏽😁 #1 she is not sexualized, but feminine #2 age appropriate cast, the mother the aunt are women of a certain age and they are beautiful with no makeup. #3 The realistic diversity of all the amazonians meaning there color shapes and sizes. #4 this movie, unlike other comic movie shows the realistic consequences of war on civilians ( children separated from their parents, soldiers wounded, famine and chaos) with out being to gory which makes it perfect for children (depending on the child 8 and up imo) to watch. #5 the acting was GREAT! #6 the action scenes were TOTAL BAD ASS! LOL AWESOME! #7 all my boys 7 thru 15 including my husband loved it so ITS NOT TOO GIRLY LOL!

There is a difference in battle destruction in a city than in a war....

I loved this movie and I would definitely see it again. There were a lot of great points made in this review, to many to get to so I'll just focus on a few. The last action sequence was forgivable because of her humanity and the fact she was cognizant of her surroundings unlike in MoS and BvS. I definitely think they did do a better job of depicting war and the gravity of it, could they have taken it a step further absolutely. War isn't something that should be glorified by any filmmakers camera but scrutinized by it. I don't know what's to come from The Justice League movie but the DC universe and Warner Bros. need to follow Wonder Woman's lead for future movies.

Thank you guys. The chemistry is amazing. The motivator for WW final push is based in that chemistry. It had flaws. 5 plot holes that I could spot upon first viewing. Is it Orson Well, John Ford, not but damn Patty Jenkins kicks ass. All Superhero movies follow the same end battle format, DC and Marvel. Just accept that as modern Superhero movie plot devices.

I love Gal Gadot so much! I was super entertained. What a bad ass woman island. I wanna go!

LOL this WAS Warner Bros 1956 Ben Hur in the sense that if this movie had flopped critically and commercially that would have been the end of the DCEU. In 56 Metro Goldwyn Myer was in a similar position, banking everything on the success of the Ben Hur remake.

The sequel will be set in modern times (when Chris Pine would be dead). The reviewers talk about a third-act sacrifice. That means Chris Pine is going to die, right?

It doesn't matter the movie, I rarely see them in the heat of any hype. I enjoy reviews and that is MY entertainment. I'll probably watch this in a "second run" theatre or streamed. Usually by then movies aren't as good or as bad as I was led to believe.

How soon we forget Beauty and the Beast is this year's biggest blockbuster

To the antiwar point - another thing that gives the movie a more serious quality is that we know the German soldiers she kills are not unambiguously the 'bad guys' like they are in WW2.

Ben is back!!! Omgggg I'm so happy!!

Thought that there was a similarity (story-wise) to the 5th Element

Who's the new guy on the right? lol

What is Alonso's shirt a reference too? Do I need to go out and buy some linoleum knives from IKEA too?

I've been away from this channel for too long and oh God does Matt look like an unholy cross between the Fresh Prince and ET without his beard. Never Shave again, ever.

Aw, I miss Miguel Ferrer. 🙁

The problem with the final battle is because you know the movie takes place so long before the rest of the DCEU, there's really no serious stakes involved unlike what the reviewers said, to get truly invested into what happens. It's like Wonder Woman is still around in the current movies, so it doesn't matter what happened here. Despite that I thought it was pretty good, but god the humor they were trying was just wrong on so many levels, just terrible. This didn't need to be funny, but they went on with it and it stunk. It took away from a movie that was on a track to be great.

If ever there was a time to bring back Amy, maybe it would've been this episode? IDK kinda takes the wind out of my sails to see only one woman in the Wonder Woman review/discussion

Don't cite Kathy Griffin, at all guys. Just gives that witch energy.

This is absolutely not the most anti-war superhero movie ever made.

Ben is so annoying in this review. It's pg13 for goodness sake, and Jenkins did well to show the horrors of war under that constraint.

Sounds like Ben will like Dunkirk.. Seems to have more realism and the tension of war without glorifying it..

they seem to not understand what is a spoiler

We always need all 4

One person's so-called mistakes is another person's glory.

You can buy the Captain America shirt at Target.

This is the first episode I've watched of WTF in months. Holy shit! I did not recognize Matt AT ALL! Hopefully all the weight loss is not because of health issues/complications. Otherwise, damn! Good job!

I just give up on DC making a good movie. And when I think Wonder woman I just can't get the justice league animated version's voice out of my head. IDK if I'll go see this

Gal Gadot was totally stunning and smoldering in the Fast and Furious bikini scene. Like wow.....

I got my wonder woman T-shirt ready to go for tonight so excited been waiting to see this movie on the big screen sense tv Lynda Carter series came out way back in the day! going to 3D already got my ticket!

Unite the Four

Wow, I tend to agree with the WTF crew, but this time they went really over the top. One of the best superhero movies? Not even close, IMO. It´s a fine movie, it has its high points, but it´s nowhere near the top tier. The writing is lazy, the characters are not well-rounded (especially the supportive ones - just compare it with the Guardians Vol. 2!) and I absolutely don´t agree that Gal Gadot was this amazing presence. Her acting range seems to be three looks and being pretty. The action was good, some scenes worked, it has a great score, and I can appreciate the efforts for diversity (Sameer, Chief, etc.) and the woman-power angle. It´s clearly the best movie in the DCU (by a lot), but that is in and of itself not much of an achievement. 6 points.

BEN!! Good to see you!

Sweet Ben is back

I loved this movie but it did sort of drag on. They could've shaved some minutes off of it and made it tighter.

Good debate, and having just seen the movie I liked it a lot too... ...but I'm sorry, I can never get over every time Christy drinks water from a jar.

If Ben thinks it's one of the best superhero movies why just a 7.9?

it was great. not amazing or best superhero movie but a great, solid origin story. I enjoyed logan and guardians more but I definitely recommend it.

I hate superhero movies as a rule, but this actually looks pretty good. It also doesn't hurt that Gal Gadot is very easy on the eyes. Also, is it pronounced guh-doh or guh-dott? Oh and one more thing, Famke Janssen could easily play Gal Gadot's mother :)

two Things. I love that Ben is trying to see it from a realistic point of view, but this isn't suppose to be a historic movie about World war 1. I did like his point about not seeing any Americans die in any of the wars, mainly because the Americans were completly passive in both wars. Espeically in WW2. Also to Alonso i think we need to point out that Gal Gadot is from Isreal, Connie Nielsen is Danish, and most of the women you see apart from Robin Wright are international sports women, sooo that they speak with an accent is pretty much how they talk. Again apart from Robin Wright. The movie is violent yes but if you can take a 6-7 year old to see any other superhero movie or star wars for that matter you can take a 6-7 year old to see this movie.

I was disappointed in the lack of neck snapping.

Loved the film. Had a strong and beautiful heroine and didn't insult us guys at all.

Great Review of a WonderWOMAN movie where the only Woman Reviewer gets to give 25% of the opinions.

Well, I did just rent it from Amazon. It was a good movie but it didn't make a huge impression on me. I'll probably forget about it in two days. Gal Gadot did a good job with the role, but I still wish someone else had played Wonder Woman. I don't know who I would want, but someone else. And, just as I expected, her accent bugged me the whole movie. Chris Pine didn't irritate me, not nearly enough of Connie Neilson or Robin Wright. Criminal underuse of Robin Wright, in fact. All I can say is that if this film is the golden standard, "Batman v Superman" and all the other DC films they're mentioning must be pretty horrible. The best thing out of this is that Patty Jenkins' career is on the definite upswing.

So It is my first time watching a What The Flick review in a long time. What the hell happened to Alonso?!

Alonzo referencing Kathy griffin. Coincidence?

I see Ben's point and I agree.

I want to see this because it is getting such rave reviews, but I am a little worried that all the hype is more becasue it's a female superhero movie and less because it's as great as everyone says, and that I'll be disappointed becasue of that. I'll find out soon enough; going to see it today.

Review Fargo please

Gal Gadot is soooo pretty. The end of WW is kinda like 5th Element. Love is da thing. Again.

Omg Ben !!!😊😊😊I've missed his input

Ben needs to tap into his inner 12 year old boy.

can someone please tell them to stop playing the trailer twice. Once is enough.

YMS is the only review that _really_ matters
