Went to see Wonder Woman today. [View all]

Loved it. Good acting and story, well filmed, well paced. Relevant and inspiring without being sappy. And yes, awesome to see a movie about a female superhero. Not too violent. If you think this is a movie that might be of any interest it's worth checking out.
