Wow. Just saw Wonder Woman today.

I really liked it.

Watched it twiced.

Made me feel better about what we are having to deal with in Washington.

The great thing was a lot of fathers or grandfathers were taking little girls to see the movie.

It has lots of action.

I thought the movie might be a little silly.

Woman Woman kicked some ass.

A mixed crowd.

It is not your typical comic book type movie.

It is worth watching .

or are they afraid seeing a female superhero will somehow scar them?

(Yeah, I know some boys have seen it and wanted to dress up like WW and some parents have allowed it)

I go to the movies with them to the films they want to see. None of my grandsons wanted to see "Frozen", but all of the girls did. I'm guessing a lot of younger boys aren't into Wonder Woman, teen boys, now that's different. When I was a teen my female hero was Mrs. Emma Peel played by the incomparable Dame Diana Rigg. I admit I join many men my age to still have a crush on Dame Rigg even now. She played the first strong confident woman for me.

I think it's great that Dads and Grandpas are taking their girls to see "Wonder Woman." It is nearly as good as seeing an old white grandpa treating his mixed race granddaughters to ice cream in south central Texas. As bad as things are somethings are WAY better.

Our family (me, husband, 2 teen daughters) went to see it on Father's Day. Normally I'm not a fan of superhero movies, but this one had a good plot & good characters. I thought it'd be just another cheesy superhero flick, but I was pleasantly surprised.

my ultra-right wing Trump worshiper would not enjoy this? We were going to go see it, but if it will make him upset, maybe we shouldn't.

Maybe our children are feeling a biological and psychological imperative to mature rapidly to help confront the Great Destructive Darkness brought on by the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and his republican Cabal of Colluding Comrades, Inc. ?
