“Wonder Woman has always been considered the third most-important DC Comics superhero, behind Superman and Batman, but when it comes to an original DVD film, she beats them both.”
—Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly

“Some might try to dismiss Wonder Woman without a closer look—it’s an animated film and it’s direct-to-DVD—but they’d be fools to do so. This updated take on the classic warrior-in-a-strange-land tale is an enjoyable mix of butt kicking and empowered romantic comedy that will satisfy geek guys, gals and kids alike.”
— Ken Denmead, Wired

“I though the movie was great: beautiful, funny, well-written, and an altogether pleasure to watch… and watch again.”
—Kellen Rice, Blast Magazine

“Well, that was disappointing”
—Johanna Draper Carlson, Comics Worth Reading

“This is not a perfect film. A first act dogfight goes on much too long, and the story is still a relatively conventional origin story. Furthermore, I still bemoan the inexplicable demand for a mere 75 minute run time, especially in a film that is aimed at older kids. But in every other way, Wonder Woman is a terrifically entertaining action picture, with fully drawn characters, clever dialogue, and a clear and specific point of view. And the final scene provides an absolutely perfect capper that will have fans and geeks grinning from ear to ear.”
—Scott Mendelson, Film Threat

“[W]hat the non-comics-reading world needs is a property that allows them access to a character whose potential has virtually never been lived up to and the upcoming Wonder Woman direct-to-DVD animated feature from Warner Brothers may go a long way to improve that state of affairs.”
—Steve Bunche, The Beat
