Wonder Woman is going to be hitting theaters in June, and has to not only launch the first major female superhero franchise in this shared universe era, but also start a major course-correction for the beleaguered DC Extended Universe. Those are no small tasks to overcome, and rumor surrounding Wonder Woman during production and (especially) post-production suggested that director Patty Jenkins could be having trouble with wrangling together the film that Warner Bros. wanted. However, a test screening of Wonder Woman was reportedly held recently, and now reactions to that screening are hitting online, and they paint a very good picture of how Wonder Woman plays with audiences.

NOTE: Most of these “reactions” are second or third-hand ‘friend of a friend said,” type reports, and MUST be taken with a grain of salt. Still, since this is the first time anyone has even supposedly had a chance to see Wonder Woman and form an opinion, we thought we’d share…
For the Hardcore
Hardcore DC Comics and Universe fans who want a measure ofย Wonder Woman will probably find this reaction useful.ย
I wasn’t at Wonder Woman’s test screening but I heard from people who were. Told me it was good, but not as good as the animated movie.

Skeptical Hyperbole
This person is taking the notion thatย Wonder Womanย is the Best. DCEUย Movie. Ever. With a serious grain of salt (sort of?).ย
This means NOTHING but spoke to someone who saw Wonder Woman and said they were blown away by the movie and it is the best movie of the DCEU
