Jenkins (Monster).
Critic Reviews:
- “Wonder Woman embraces issues of female power and the need to turn
from hate to love, war to peace in a mainstream delivery system. And the female
lead is not solely a mother, sister, girlfriend or hooker, however gold her
heart: wonder of wonders!” – New York Observer
- “Gadot does succeed, against heavy odds, in creating a fresh figure of
heroic morality and might, engaging an audience with an earnest
character's discovery of herself and the world.” – Globe
and Mail
- “Wonder Woman has come to save us from ourselves in her long, long,
long overdue cinematic debut. And in the best news of all, the wait was worth
it.” – Suburban Journals of St. Louis
