Wonder Woman Review: 10 Best Moments

9. Diana Kills Ares

Wonder Woman Final Trailer

Steve's eventual death provides a distraught Diana with the furious anger she needs to finally repel Ares' enormously powerful assault, absorbing his attacks with her bracelets and firing them back at him, but not before quipping, "Goodbye, brother" ahead of the final killing blow.

Though the final battle itself was a fairly underwhelming and conventional mess of bad CGI, it was hard to argue with how bada** Diana's final barrage on Ares was, fully completing her origin story and cementing her as the fierce superhero she clearly is by the time Batman v Superman rolls around.

Seriously, if anyone can watch this sequence and still complain about Gal Gadot's slender physique, they're pretty much just plain wrong at this point.
