This movie is a masterpiece! Nothing less! I'm so proud that we in little Denmark were able to produce such a great movie.
It is truly hilarious especially if you like a little dark humor. But don't get me wrong, it is not vulgar but it's funny because it's so absurd.
The characters are well written and played exceptionally great by especially Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Mads Mikkelsen. They are funny, dark and with a lot of depth. The plot is also great.
If you haven't seen this movie yet - see it! EVERYONE should do them self the favor of seeing this movie at least once!
If you've already seen it and are looking for more like this I can recommend "Flickering Lights", "Adam's Apples", "In China They Eat Dogs" and "Old Men in New Cars". They are all written by Anders Thomas Jensen (who wrote and directed this movie). They are the exact same kind of movies with great, dark humor.

I must admit that I'm very disappointed. The movie had been praised for being such a strong movie regarding feminism and finally giving us a non-sexualized, strong, bad ass female lead. This is not entirely the case in my opinion.
Wonder Woman is strong and bad ass, that is true. I also love how all the Amazons are strong as hell and incredible good at fighting! But Wonder Woman is still sexualized to the skies! If you look at her outfit: HEELED shoes (they can't be very practical) and a tiny skirt (they could easily have made it just a few inches longer without it having any effect on her freedom of movement). I know that they were probably trying to be true to the comics, but I think they could have pulled that outfit together in other ways and still achieve that. And why would the Amazons, who have been isolated from the rest of the world for thousands of years, shave? How did they even come up with that idea? It serves no real purpose. (Just to be clear - I shave and like being shaved, but I'm 100% sure that's because I've been socialized to like it, and I think it's unrealistic that the Amazons would shave).
Another thing I dislike about the movie is the whole WW1-plot. It's one of the most American movies I have ever seen (not meant in a good way), depicting the Germans as literal monsters and insane people, whereas the Brits and Americans are all heroes (very one-dimensional). It's an old, tired, American plot seen way too many times before. Very Hollywood.
Besides all that it has a looot of loopholes.
If you put all these things aside, then it's a nice superhero-movie - it's funny, filled with action and Chris Pine is exceptional.
If the movie hadn't been so hyped and praised I'm sure I wouldn't have been as disappointed.
So, if you like (very American and Hollywoodified) superhero-movies give it a try. Just don't expect too much.
