I know that most people look past that these days but to me, it was fairly egregious. My hope is that with a bigger budget for WW2, we'll less VFX and more real sets and location shots.

Spoiler!

I hadn't read this thread since the movie was released because I wanted to judge the film for myself and not have any preconceived notions.

1. Like Frazod mentioned, I picked on the "twist" immediately. David Thewlis rarely plays a "good" guy and it was a dead giveaway when Danny Huston's character was given a "gas" that gave him energy. A Greek God wouldn't need that to become all powerful. So that was a let down.

2. This is HUGE, IMO, and I can't believe that no one has mentioned it. Why did Steve Trevor essentially commit suicide? It was completely and utterly unnecessary. He stole the plane with the deadly gas, he saw the destruction of the base and all he needed to do was land the plane safely, out of the hands of the Germans (who'd all been killed).

I realize that they needed a plot device in order for Diana Prince to finally become a God(ess) and Wonder Woman but even my 9 year old immediately said after the film "Why did Steve need to die? Why didn't he just land the plane".

I wouldn't call it a "plot hole" per se but it was awfully goofy for an otherwise well rounded and sharp script.

Spoiler!

The gas had a timer on it. It was going off no matter what.
