In case you missed it, Wonder Woman is the superhero taking over the world.
She also just happens to be a female.
Sure, she’s been beloved by comic book fans for years, but since the film adaptation, starring Gal Gadot, hit screens worldwide earlier this month, she’s been smashing records left, right and centre.
For example, the film scored a world record when it became the highest grossing film with a female director – we’re talking over AU$300 million in one weekend – of all time.
Watch the video playing above to see the best fan reactions to Wonder Woman.
And it’s got a 93 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it tied in first place for the best-reviewed superhero movie ever.
(P.S. It’s tied with The Incredibles, another superhero flick with one of the greatest female action heroes ever.)
It’s also a film that is quite capable of making fully functioning, grown adult women cry with happiness.
So it shouldn’t really be a surprise that social media is practically bursting at the seams with heartfelt, happy and yes, hilarious statuses about the feminist film we’ve waited decades for.

You know what? I've had an epiphany on the lack of action heroes for girls.
The Star Wars movies turn me in to a big kid. Love 'em.
I watched Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back with my eldest daughter and I really wanted her to like them. And she did, but she had a wistful little question for me at the end, for which I didn't have a very good answer.
'Daddy, are there any Jedi Knights that are girls?'
Really hammered it home. Fortunately, the latest movies are fixing that.
Just saw it, definitely NOT the best superhero movie ever. Yes it was cool to see a woman in the lead but outside of that it's nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty sure girl power has overrated this one.
Agreed. I found it dull, predictable & far fetched. The hype surrounding this movie is ludicrous. As was the atrocious storyline.
