If i had rated this movie immediately after leaving the theater it would have elicited an 8, or 9 because it is a well crafted film. But after doing some research into Christie Marston's claims regarding the film I have to knock off several points.

Very little of it is true, from the dynamics of the relationship to the origins of the comic publication. Christie Marston maintains that Elizabeth and Olive were not lovers (Christie had a strong relationship with her grandmother, Elizabeth, who apparently was quite forward thinking about any sexual activity done by consenting adults, and quite open to talking about her views, and never gave any indication to her family that she and Olive were lovers). It was also Elizabeth who suggested that Marston write his comic with a female lead, rather than being skeptical about his being able to get it published.


The movie also makes Bill Marston out to be a besieged hero, keeping his family together in the face of society's disapproval, and maintaining the integrity of his comic creation in the face of moral guardians. At the end we are told that after his death, Wonder Woman lost it's sexual component, and the character lost her powers. Well yes that is true, but the adoption of the Comics Code Authority was 7 years after his death, and the "mod era," of Wonder Woman was 21 years after.


This film goes a little too far in the amount of creative liberties I'm willing to accept.
