As far as super hero origin stories in general goes I place it about 5th on my list. I found it pretty decent story-telling, and I thought the action was ok. Overall I give it about a C+ to maybe even a B-. If I were bored channel-surfing some rainy Saturday afternoon and come across it I would watch it again. I thought Gadot did a pretty good job. The fact that the entire movie was a flashback drops it down my scale a bit as I think that is VERY overdone, but to make the entire move that way went beyond over-done. I also didn't like the fact that they made her basically immortal. Invincible fighting invincible has to be the MOST cliche thing in super hero movies. It is why I stopped reading comics. Kill superman, then bring him back, then kill him again, and this guy is badass but this guy is a whole ****ing planet, blah blah blah. Boring.
On the scale that just takes the DC universe into account I place it a very distant 2nd behind Dark Knight, which was actually the Joker's origin story, so to speak, and far and away the best DC-based movie ever.
