But I think that the movie did look better then it did because Gadot and Pine were really good in their roles.

I don't agree with it either. What made Infinity War good for me was that Disney pushed outside their typical safe barriers they've established in the MCU. The tone of the film was darker, it relied less on cheesy humour and drawn out CGI pieces. It was more of a character study of Thanos. I also have a lot of familiarity with the characters and story, which allowed me to fill in gaps. The story was based on a lot of "moments" as well. That being said Disney is still very stuck within their own boundaries.
A lot of these same aspects, that made the movie good for me, also turned a lot of people away. The movie was more focused at people in my demographic than previous MCU installments.
Wonder Woman on the other hand was a safer and easier story to tell. It definitely appealed more to the mainstream audience and critics.
That being said, calling either a "masterpiece" is really a matter of your own opinion, and isn't supported by the critics or audience as a whole. Particularly when comparing it to comic book movies like the Dark Knight or Logan, that are widely and critically considered good movies, not just when compared against other comic book movies.
