The first half is the good part. It gets worse from there on out.

It's her opinion though, not that of the movie.

If that's the movie's opinion, then why does it go out of its way to prove her wrong by the end? It's not like the movie massively shifts in tone and writing (bar the Ares fight anyway).
Characters have opinions. It's what gives them personality.

Or maybe the writers (one of which is one of DC's best writers) just wanted to write characters that had their own biases that they had to overcome? A lot of the movie is about Diana having her preconceptions of the world changed. What she thinks about men, what she thinks about war, etc.
It's an origin story and a coming of age story too.
