The film is a retake on the origin story of Wonder Woman, the first time she ventures out into the real world, and so it spends most of its time focusing on the Amazons. Many of them were stock characters — the film is a rather traditional hero’s journey, and focuses on action and plot much more than character development. In addition to the laughs, the film carries an undercurrent of social commentary. After all, how could it avoid that when its villain is the God of War? It skillfully avoids making the story a battle between men and women, though, a hard thing to do when your lead characters are a secluded colony of women hiding out from men.
