Ok, let's go down a few notches and forget this is supposed to be an historically accurate depiction movie of someone's life.

Done? Great.

9/10.

Can't forget?

4/10.

I knew the story of Professor Marston before I saw the movie and I have to say that the real version is much more interesting than the Hollywoodized version. But it's not a bad movie or a waste of time.
Due to the nature of the story, it has a rather small target audience. I think a lot of people might have expected a more heroic story. Possibly after watching the Wonder Woman movie itself. I think Marston was a hero in his own right, far ahead in his views on society and women. And he put his views into the comic which, naturally, was a no-go at the time.
I really enjoyed the movie which clearly lives from its lead actors. At the same time I like the production in general. And even if we are, as a society, more tolerant than in the 30s and 40s, this movie is a reminder that there still is a lot of prejudice against people outside the so-called mainstream. We may have evolved but we still have a long way ahead.

Despite Moulton's granddaughter's claims that this film is inaccurate in its portrayal of relationships (which is undoubtedly going to happen unless the film is made from a journal), I would like to point out what the film gives to its audience.
Not only does it portray a hero in an early comic industry, but also in feminism and psychology. To think that there were people in the early 1900s that held women and their desires in high regard is astounding. As a brief window into history that this film gives, I needed to rate it highly. To me, it shows more effort into the world of sexuality (polyamory) and feminism than many other movies may give you, and I would like to give kudos to the writers who have supplied a good story-line even if they might not have had a lot to go on.
The acting in the movie was great, and I agree with another comment stating that the script was sub-par. Aside from that, it was a pretty good movie. Thanks to those involved.

It was good to know that your favourite female superhero was born from bondage and threesome.

Third time watching this and, now knowing Olive and Elizabeth’s love well enough to not be completely overwhelmed by it like the first two times, what stood out the most to me in this viewing was their characterisation. I just love their complexity and personal contradictions and the way their personalities play off each other.

Bill says that Olive is innocent, pure and kind and that Elizabeth is genius, fierce and a bitch. And that together they are the perfect woman. I don’t love the idea of merging them like that, and thankfully Bill said that at the start of their relationship, or otherwise I would think he completely missed the whole point of their dynamic. What’s fascinating about Olive and Elizabeth is precisely the fact that they’re two completely separate, independent, contrary women with two completely different energies. Yes they compliment each other but they never lose their identity. And it’s just so clever the way Elizabeth is first introduced as this self-empowered modern woman who rejects the patriarchy, and yet is the first to feel ashamed of their polyamory and their fetishes, whilst Olive is a young woman raised by nuns, who looks and acts like she’s never broken a rule in her life and yet is the least judgemental and the most open to new things and all types of love. In the end their character arcs lead them to be less uptight and more assertive, respectively, and it’s just so exciting to go on that journey as a female viewer. They are exactly the type of female characters I want everywhere.

I think I fell in love a little harder this time than the previous two, and this film has cemented its place in my heart.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. The chemistry between the 3 mains is wonderful. I saw the movie for it's entertainment value only and not for a history lesson so to be honest even with reviews that say it took too many liberties I really dont care. I still completely enjoyed the movie.

Solid film. Interesting to see how the man who invented Wonder Woman can find inspiration in real life. All three leads are good but I thought Rebecca Hall was really great. 2017 is the year of the Wonder Woman with 3 films.

Marston is living Lawrence from Office Space's dream of doing two chicks at the same time.

Interesting, and entertained me while I was watching but I get the feeling that it glossed over a lot of things. Rebecca Hall was fantastic, but her character's worries didn't seem to get much explanation.
