Of course, being better than the critically reviled "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Suicide Squad" is pretty damn easy. But rapturous reviews that name-check "The Dark Knight" and "Captain America: First Avenger"? That just might make Ben Affleck sad.
Here's some of the initial reactions from Twitter:
Very pleased to report that #WonderWoman is the best DC movie since THE DARK KNIGHT. I'm already looking forward to seeing it again.

"The 'Wonder Woman' Embargo Has Lifted Twitter" is my favorite Twitter. Also: #WonderWoman is really damn good. Loved every minute.

Loved WONDER WOMAN. She reminds me of Christopher Reeve's Superman: true north superhero w/ no angst or cynicism, which is needed right now.

My reaction to @WonderWomanFilm : exciting, powerful, bold, epic, simply wonderful and - best of all - absolutely empowering.

#WonderWoman is the easily the best DCEU movie so far. It's got heart and a love of heroes. Pine and Gadot are charming beyond measure.

I loved #WonderWoman so much. Easily one of the best superhero origin films I've ever seen. Amazing action & Gal Gadot is pure heaven http://pic.twitter.com/313ATzpC8x

@GalGadot is brilliant as #WonderWoman, so much emotion, sense of humor, and power.
