i was really angry at the scene when superman went to wonderwoman's party with her new friends after savinig them. it was only after the girls killed the guys that superman cared, so he cares about the lives of evil men, but doesn't care about what was happening to innocent women? who cares if they are out of jurisdiction with the US or whatnot, if you know somebody's life is probably in danger you help them, wonder woman did, i'd probably leave somebody's captor to the captee. hell the women would have probably been killed afterwords anyways, would superman have cared then? probably not. "they did this? it was wrong!" superman was such a deuchbag in this it was unreal.

You're missing the point. He wasn't suggesting that Diana should have left the women there, or that they didn't need rescuing, or anything like that. He was saying that her particular brand of vigilante justice was going too far, that they should have been punished according to the laws of the land, not through arbitrary revenge.
Laws exist to prevent exactly that sort of chaos and bloodshed. Just because those particular men probably deserved what they got doesn't make it right. -

Yeah that would have made Wonder Woman see his point. Really Superman did the only thing he could, the deed had been done and he couldn't get her to accept his reasoning and he knew it. You might also notice the subtle change in Wonder Woman's facial expression as he leaves, she understood what he was saying and I think experienced some regret in what she did.
The last thing he'd ever do is attack her, as he said toward the end, she's his best friend.

To me it's pretty simple. To quote roughly from "Kingdom Come", when you strip Superman down to his core, you find a man who doesn't want to see anyone die. He's upset Wonder Woman created a situation (not by letting the women out of the cages, but by leaving the guns rather conspicuously available) which was likely to result in death.
I understand the moral outrage of various people: it's not a black and white situation: but when it comes to death, Superman has always had a black and white view of the world, while Diana's (Wonder Woman's) has always been more "shades of grey" oriented. -

Revenge would have been if the women tied the men up and went to their families(the men's families) all the while raping them, and when they arrive to each of the mens families they would slaughter them, that would have been revenge. Im not saying that im for that or that it is ok, i'm just saying that the women picking up the guns and shooting the men was a mercy killing for what they did to them in comparison.
