It has it's flaws, the narrative is definitely ropey in places but it's a fun watch, probably not as good as the first one but it's very different. Wonder Woman is a character that's always had two interpretations to her character, in the first film, we saw Diana the Warrior armed with a sword and shield and ready to do what needed to be done, naive and hopeful, but hardened nonetheless but in this film we get Diana the lover, someone who only fights to protects and goes to lengths to insure no one comes to harm. I like that they tried to bring both interpretations of her character together.

My main issue besides the ropey storyline is that they kinda wasted Cheetah, Max Lord was a pretty good villain that felt different from your typical comic book villains but it felt like they threw Cheetah in there just so Diana had someone to fight in the last act. I think they should have saved that transformation for the third instalment and just kept Barbara as Barbara for this one.
