Wonder Woman Reviews: 11 Early Reactions You Need To See

4. Gal Gadot IS Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot, who was best known to audiences for her role in the Fast & Furious franchise, was a surprising choice for the role of Wonder Woman for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and did become the subject of some (largely ridiculous) criticism.

Any doubts about her ability to play the character started being put to bed after she turned up in BvS, where she was one of the best parts of the film. It seems that she picks up from there and totally runs with it, being more than capable of leading her own movie and finally delivering the big screen take on the character comics fans have long been waiting for.

The tweet just below is particularly promising, showing the Gadot can deliver on all aspects of the character, from her familial relationships to being a hero you can root for, to simply kicking a whole lot of ass.
