The first female-led super hero movie in modern times, Wonder Woman, is hitting theaters in a matter of weeks, and critics were allowed to tweet their reactions on Thursday night.
Wonder Woman reviews began popping up following an embargo lift from Warner Brothers. And get this: It’s good! Yes, you heard that right, a great WB/DC film! After the critical bombs that were Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, it’s a relief to hear positive Wonder Woman reviews.
The positivity aside, at least three critics are expressing concerns about the third act. Other than that, all reactions are very good.

Very pleased to report that #WonderWoman is the best DC movie since THE DARK KNIGHT. I'm already looking forward to seeing it again.

Wonder Woman is the DC movie I've been waiting for. It's exciting, inspiring, funny, and has some truly awe-inspiring action scenes.

Loved WONDER WOMAN. She reminds me of Christopher Reeve's Superman: true north superhero w/ no angst or cynicism, which is needed right now.

WONDER WOMAN: Easily my favorite DCEU film. Has the humor and heart the franchise so desperately needs. Gadot and Pine are charming as hell.

There are certainly some issues, like a mismatched 3rd act, but I'll discuss that in a longer review. Overall though, Wonder Woman rules.

#WonderWoman is the easily the best DCEU movie so far. It's got heart and a love of heroes. Pine and Gadot are charming beyond measure.

It def has some problems and withers a bit in the 3rd act, but there's no doubt I'll be seeing it again.

Happy to report 'Wonder Woman' is a blast and @GalGadot is fantastic. Her chemistry with Chris Pine is magnetic. Absolutely recommended. pic.twitter.com/VPW4QW3IhM

The embargo has officially lifted, so here it goes: WONDER WOMAN is, against all odds, pretty damn wondrous.

I loved Wonder Woman. First act's a bit slow, but it's optimistic, emotional, and *gasp* funny. Best DC movie so far.

#WonderWoman is the best DCEU film so far. The heart of Gal Gadot's Diana powers it, and the shift from mythic into WWI story really works.

WONDER WOMAN is great. My favorite of the recent DC movies. It's fierce, funny, well-written and badass. @GalGadot owns it. Her lasso FTW pic.twitter.com/rQ0ufZxWXP
