9. Diana And Steve's Romance Is Great

Warner Bros.

One of the key aspects of the film is the relationship between Diana Prince and Steve Trevor, which flips the damsel-in-distress trope on its head, with Chris Pine's Trevor the one in need of saving, and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman being the one to do it.

The early reactions stated that their chemistry is great, and the full reviews spend a fair bit of time discussing just how central to the film's success this pairing is.

"The romance between Diana and Steve is so winning that it becomes the film’s glue." - Empire

EW writes that "[Gadot's] chemistry with Pine is... unexpected and electric," while Den of Geek add that their chemistry is "a lovely surprise, and their relationship is one imbued with a tenderness and mutual understanding that allows Diana to be a character entirely outside of the relationship."
