First let me just say that I love Gal Gadot for who she is. I believe she has great potential and will exceed far past people's expectations.
However if I were to be frank, Gal Gadot did not fit the role of Wonder Women. And I'd like to think that this was not her fault but the fault of the script writers and perhaps even the cast directors. Granted Patty Jenkins, the director, initially was not sure about Gal Gadot's casting as Wonder Woman but she eventually gave in and acclaimed her for her work....I'm not sure if I can say the same. If the script writers gave her less dialogue and more motion acting, would've portrayed Wonder Woman as an even more powerful and respected woman. Think about it, a woman who knows that she is powerful does not need to talk much, the people around her treats her as such.
ROBIN WRIGHT should have been Wonder Woman and I say this because she portrayed all the characteristics of what we all thought Wonder Woman would be like. Her attitude, her attributes, the way how her mental toughness and aggressiveness plays into her character all tied with empowering women probably more than Gal Gadot (just being frank, i still love Gal Galdot).
I have a pretty good feeling that DC was trying to play catch-up in producing good films against Marvel. This is probably where they really messed up. After DC got wind of the Justice League movie they decided to rush these films (which had such great potential) and ultimately produced a very poor story line with awkward script writing resulting in a confusing, non-impactful film. More money was spent on CGI than the actual build of the story line and I am so taken aback by how little was done for the story of Wonder Woman. Either Snyder was high, was preoccupied with something else or he was just having a bad year.
WONDER WOMAN is too goddamn powerful/enemies don't know how to shoot her at the legs/poison gas is weak sauce.
I mean think about this for a second, when Christopher Nolan created the Batman series we all expected him to follow corny CGI action scenes, follow the footsteps of previous Batman films, similar script writing as previous films, etc. But he blew us out of the water by creating a film that took on a WHOLE NEW perspective of Bruce Wayne's life. The movie was so artistic not just through the sequence of actions scenes but more so the plot of the story. It encapsulated the audience by allowing the main character to be more human than hero so that we'd be able to see ourselves in him (Bruce Wayne). Which is why in the end we end up rooting for Bruce Wayne after the turmoil he had to endure and all the training he had to go through. Nolan took it upon himself to create a serious movie, his goal was to create a Batman film that everyone would respect and take seriously.
Now I'm not saying that everyone is a Nolan, but I am saying that if the industry were to take into consideration of what Nolan did or took the time to produce a more enriched story line Wonder Woman would be a far greater film. The movie had such great potential and it's sad to see such a film follow the cliche standards of what a hero movie is supposed to be like on top of the really bad dialogues/story line. Again my assumption is that they rushed this film to be produced against Marvel movies which is why this film was less artistic and more like it was trying to copy a kids cartoon version of Wonder Woman.
How I would've cast the members: Wonder Woman - ROBIN WRIGHT, Angelina Jolie or Zoe Saldana Steve Trevor - Tom Hardy or Joel Edgerton Ludendorff - Tom Hiddleston or Hugo Weaving or Rufus Sewell
Writers: Bob Kane, David S. Goyer, Gavin O'Connor, Anthony Tambakis, Kurt Johnstad, Jane Goldman, Matthew Vaughn
