It was pretty good. The plot was consistent, there was one. It was pretty logical. For most part. I don't really understand why Diana couldn't return to the amazons once she left, but maybe I should have read the comics. There were visual inconsistencies - a mug being in once place in one shot and in other in other. But these were small mistakes that I didn't even notice, and wouldn't have noticed, if they weren't pointed out to me.
I think the actors were pretty good. Our leading actress fit into her role well and I liked the amazons. They didn't look too young, nor did they look old. They looked kind of perfectly ageless if that makes sense, somewhere between old and young.
I don't think this film was that groundbreaking in other ways. Sure, Diana seems like a very headstrong and independent woman - for the early 20th century where she is thrown into. I think she is all that by the modern standards too, but I wish they would have tried to show her as an independent strong woman in the 21st century, where all other characters aren't comically and pointedly not feminists. It feels like a bit of a cheat.
The ending was cliche'd and perhaps the most boring part of the film. The moral was so worn-out that there were holes through it. It wasn't wrong, just over-exploited. All in all there was little that felt new. Besides a female heroine.
