I didn't think it went fast. It had a lot of good and a lot of bad.

Lots of spluttering throughout between Pine and Gadot. I give the movie a B- but it is the best DC movie since Nolan's TDK which isn't saying a ton.

Bad: See spluttering above. Characters who don't seem to do anything -- perhaps their stories are on the cutting room floor. Pine's character was frustrating and seemed to make decisions only to advance the plot. Fairly boring and useless first act. No reason for the Amazons and why the mom didn't want GG to learn to fight. Fight scene towards the end that seems similar to Superman v. Zod -- just a bunch of huge events that don't make much sense.

Good: Gadot is perfectly cast. Filmed very well. Gadot's fight scenes with humans done very well. Lots of work on costumes and scenes to make it look like WWI. Really good WW theme music.

A movie you could see again but being able to ff through bad parts would help immensely. The Marvel films have more of an easy going nature to them and their characters seem like people you'd like to see again. Not so with DC which are way too overblown.
