Wonder Woman Review: 10 Best Moments

8. Diana & Steve's Boat Ride

It's a pleasant surprise that several of Wonder Woman's best moments aren't action beats but instead simpler, dialogue-driven scenes between Diana and Steve, such as this fantastic exchange which sees the pair bond during the boat ride to London.

Diana talks about the means of her creation, much to Steve's surprise ("Well, that's neat..."), and soon enough the discussion leans towards sex. Steve gets embarrassed when she asks him, "Do you not sleep with women?" in the most literal sense of the word, before they discuss marriage, and Diana makes the hilarious assertion that men are needed for reproduction but not for pleasure.

Even though the scene goes on surprisingly long, it doesn't ever outstay its welcome and feels totally vital in bringing these two closer together.
