The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League.

Everyone who criticizes Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman
At first, I do not agree or liking the idea of her portraying Wonder Woman. Simply because they do not follow her looks. I mean Diana's eyes are mesmerizing but then when they released the image during SDCC 2014 I was dumbstruck. She looks good, but what people need to understand why there are some who criticize her, are the ff.:
1. Her Costume, it clearly does not follow what WW we've seen.
2. Acting, this is WW we're watching. Every action is no joke.
3. Role, we do not know what her role would be or I am, I don't understand what her role would be. Will she be the one who will stop the tension between Supes and Bats, or just a plain cameo at the end wherein DC Trinity forming an alliance called JL.
1. From an acting perspective there's a lot to criticize.
2. From a looks perspective, people are highly, highly reaching.
3. This is the WW forum. You will never find a thread where everyone is happy.
At the end of the day, all you can do is hope for the best. Great actors have given terrible performances and bad actors have given legendary performances. Anything can happen. Unless you're wishing for her to fail (and doing so for anyone in any movie is pathetic) all you can do is hope for the best.
Costume is colorless and she is too skinny and has no acting credentials. There's a lot to criticize actually. Not every opinion will be positive. I do hope she does good because I want a good justice league movie but people will always complain, and she has a lot of reasons for people to.
Other then a lack of color it looks pretty good. After failing with GL and Superman's outfits I'm glad WB is getting better at this.
Wonder Woman is the most iconic female Superhero in the world, and the role was given to an unproven actress who's show that's she nothing more than merely "acceptable" in performance, in what little roles she was given. It's no surprise the vast majority of people thought this was a terrible casting choice.
I'm surprised people are criticizing the colors of the costume. For one thing, it's really nitpicky; Batman's movie costumes have looked about as far away from the comics as this costume does from Wonder Woman comics. More importantly, the image looks like it has been out through a color filter to bring on the bronze color tones to me. I suspect her costume will have a little more color in the movie.
The only problem that I have with Gal Gadot's WW has nothing to do with her but rather her costume seems to lack color, I don't know why Snyder feels that superhero costumes need to be made with a dull-color palette.
I really think people need to pay more attention to how WW will end up being written rather than Gal Gadot's performance because I actually think that she is a very good choice for Diana, but if the character isn't written well, it won't matter. Is Gal Gadot the best actress in the world, no but neither are Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth, 90% of the cast of Arrow and while Scarlett Johannson has acting talent, she hasn't brought a whole lot to the Black Widow role.
I'm only skeptical of her acting ability. She's not bad, and she did fine in the F&F movies....but on screen with Cavil and Affleck? Her acting weaknesses will be all the more noticeable. Hopefully Snyder knows what he's doing.
