Seriously, this post contains spoilers! Don't read it if you haven't seen the movie yet!

In my opinion, the movie was terrible. I didn't mind watching it, but I have absolutely no intention of ever watching it again. It barely counted as a super hero movie.
.
.
The plot was super weak and there were so many holes in.
Honestly, it's tough to find a single redeeming feature of the film.
.
.
The Intro: What was the point?
- Child Diana found a creative solution to a problem (lost her horse so she took the slide).
- Because she missed a gate, she was disqualified. She was told she cheated and cheating is the same as lying.
- So the lesson is that you shouldn't find creative solutions to unexpected situations because it's equivalent to lying.
.
.
The 80s: How do we know?
- There were old cars parked on the streets.
- Tube TVs.
- Outfit change montage (fashion is fluid so this could have happened last week).
- Cold War (we're kind of still at war with Russia, so this isn't definitive 80s).
.
.
Wishes: Not consistent.
- Wishes come at the cost of what you hold most dear (until Max becomes the wish stone, then he takes what he wants)
- The thing you lose is gone right away (unless you're Diana. She sort of, kind of gets a little bit weaker throughout the entire movie but never loses her power completely).
- Everyone only gets one wish (except Barbara. She gets two = be like Diana, then be an apex predator).
.
.
Invisible Jet: Cool but pointless.
- The jet is a nice call back to one of Wonder Woman's toys from the books.
- Diana never learns to fly it.
- Diana learns to bodily fly (sort of like Superman, sort of like Spider-Man using her lasso to grab onto things and swing)
.
.
Golden Armor: Looks cool, but pointless.
- Diana wears it only for a short period of time.
- It had wings, but Diana already learned to fly without them.
- It was supposed to be indestructible, but Barbara tore it to shreds in a matter of minutes.
- Where did Diana find the armor? If it was supposed to be that powerful, why didn't Asteria hide it and keep it since she's still alive?
.
.
What did Wonder Woman actually do?
- Diana fought Barbara because Barbara wanted to keep her wish of being noticed in a good way for a change.
- Diana used her lasso to broadcast a plea for everyone to give up their wish.
-- Nobody gives up their wish until Max gives up his (because he all of a sudden remembers that he has a kid that he's partially responsible for).
