So, about a week ago or so ago, WB held press screenings for Wonder Woman. While the full review embargo is still up until late May, the social media embargo has been lifted. Press who saw the movie are free to share their early thoughts/reactions.
And they have:

Wonder Woman is the DC movie I've been waiting for. It's exciting, inspiring, funny, and has some truly awe-inspiring action scenes.
There are certainly some issues, like a mismatched 3rd act, but I'll discuss that in a longer review. Overall though, Wonder Woman rules.
Eric Eisenberg, CinemaBlend
#WonderWoman is the best DCEU film so far. The heart of Gal Gadot's Diana powers it, and the shift from mythic into WWI story really works.
Mike Ryan, FilmDrunk/Uproxx
Loved WONDER WOMAN. She reminds me of Christopher Reeve's Superman: true north superhero w/ no angst or cynicism, which is needed right now.
Kate Erbland, IndieWire
WONDER WOMAN: Easily my favorite DCEU film. Has the humor and heart the franchise so desperately needs. Gadot and Pine are charming as hell.
Steve Weintraub, Collider
Happy to report 'Wonder Woman' is a blast and @GalGadot is fantastic. Her chemistry with Chris Pine is magnetic. Absolutely recommended.
Best part of Wonder Woman is the film has really funny parts and an optimistic and heroic protagonist. Great step forward for DC Films.

I'm now allowed to reveal I enjoyed Wonder Woman! It's really good. Has the heart & humanity DCEU needed. I'm not reviewing it FYI
Adam B. Vary, BuzzFeed
Happy no, RELIEVED to report that #WonderWoman is truly good. Funny, stirring, kick-ass, romantic. A solid, entertaining superhero film.
Anna Klassen, Bustle
The embargo has officially lifted, so here it goes: WONDER WOMAN is, against all odds, pretty damn wondrous.
WONDER WOMAN is not of the Snyder/Ayer variety. It is @PattyJenks thoughtful, enjoyable, & extremely watchable passion project.
Of course the first worthwhile movie from the DCEU stars and is directed by a woman. You paying attention, Hollywood?
#WonderWoman is the 1st film in the DCEU whose fight sequences don't feel entirely CGI/video game-esque, & that alone is huge accomplishment
Was not convinced Gadot could pull it off with her cameo in BATMAN V SUPERMAN, but she fucking nails it in WONDER WOMAN
Alisha Grasso, BirthMoviesDeath, MoviePilot
1. Hokay, here we go. #WonderWoman social media embargo just lifted. My thoughts: DC is absolutely on the right track here.
2. Gal Gadot is absolutely phenomenal as #WonderWoman. She KILLS it, just surprisingly good. A truly heroic light DCEU desperately needs.
3. Rough parts? Sure. But guys, guys, YOU GUYS! You'll truly LAUGH. And you'll walk out, for once, feeling downright inspired by a DC movie.
Will update with more, etc.
