Is Wonder Woman any good? The first screening reactions are here
DC dropped a bit of a bombshell by screening Wonder Woman for a select few this past weekend in California. Every member of the audience probably had to sign an NDA so, with that in mind, here are a lot of second-hand reactions and a handful of naughty audience-members who have given us a glimpse as to whether the upcoming movie starring Gal Gadot is any good or not.
For the most part, the Wonder Woman reaction seems mostly positive. As always, take these screeners with a massive grain of salt (unless the audience members were wrapped in the Lasso of Truth) but, hey, people don’t lie, right?
Loving everything I'm hearing from the #WonderWoman test screening. Have so much faith in this film, in @PattyJenks and @GalGadot! BRING IT! pic.twitter.com/oEUv5cXUDLFebruary 19, 2017
Hearing very positive buzz around the #WonderWoman test screening. YESSSSSS! #dccomics #WonderWomanFebruary 19, 2017
Some people, including someone who was reportedly there, have even suggested it’s the best DCEU movie. Talk about damning a movie with faint praise…
This means NOTHING but spoke to someone who saw Wonder Woman and said they were blown away by the movie and it is the best movie of the DCEUFebruary 19, 2017

Test screenings aren’t the best judge of a movie’s final cut – and some fans are all too wary of that.
Not getting excited about Wonder Woman screening being positive,BvS screening was positive an critics crippled the movie like they will hereFebruary 19, 2017
Not everything was overwhelmingly positive though. Reactions varied from ‘not as good as the animated movie’ to just plain old ‘decent’ – which sounds similar to the general consensus for most DCEU movies.
I wasn't at Wonder Woman's test screening but I heard from people who were. Told me it was good, but not as good as the animated movie.February 19, 2017
@Arminies I also attended the Wonder Woman test screening and i thought the movie was decentFebruary 20, 2017
Probably the most shocking tidbit of info to come out of the Wonder Woman screenings was that Chris Pine steals the show (and that the story is pretty similar to Captain America: The First Avenger), with one even going as far as saying he outshines Gal Gadot. Say it ain’t so!
So I heard Chris Pine overshadows Gal Gadot's performance in #WonderWoman , i dont mind it but i hope it's not true, it's WW movieFebruary 20, 2017
@Ciscooo007 @thesplashreport Super detailed spoilers popping up online. Story is similar to Cap. America 1. Chris Pine steals the show.February 19, 2017
