The film starts off well enough, but it drags and slows down after the opening and gets... boring. I figured out the plot easy enough within the first 20 minutes after the opening scene. I was checking my phone halfway through to help keep myself awake (we watched at night), which I don't normally do when watching movies. Super corny, campy, and sometimes even downright stupid. Seriously. Some of the special effects scenes are also very... old-timey (obviously fake) and weird. When using CGI, you should never call the audience's attention to the fact that green screens are being used... it's that bad. Movies using special effects should always try to make it realistic and believable. This one fails at it. Heavy on the messaging, which is nice enough in these tough times, but a little too heavy and lots of spoon-feeding. Will never watch this again and I'm glad I didn't spend money to see it in theaters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 3 Things I thought right after seeing this movie:

1) Jeez DC you're better than this..this is NOT gonna help you on the "MARVEL Vs DC SCOREBOARD"
2) I am I being unfair? This IS a comic book movie.."suspension of disbelief" is necessary for any movie like this..right? BUT THIS MUCH?!
3) Thank God I didn't waste my time and money going to see THIS in the theatre I'm gonna give this a (very generous) 5..cuz I think I now understand the intended audience for this..which I can only imagine is elementary school girls..little girls obviously because the message is clear..today a woman can be anything..strong, smart, beautiful and the "hero". Instead of wanting around to be saved by men..Wonder Woman can be the savior all by herself. Nevermind that everyone from Disney to James Cameron has been trumpeting this same message..yet doing so in a way that doesn't insult one's intelligence. If it wasn't for the fact that I was watching it with my now teen daughter who saw the original a few years back and loved it..I think I would've turned it off right about the time a WWI Bi-plane pilot knew how to instinctively fly a modern jet that despite somehow being a museum piece was fully fueled, primed and prepped to make a non stop flight to Eqypt (that fact that it was able to turn invisible soon after takeoff seems almost plausible by comparison).… Expand

WW1984 starts off with a really strong first half hour. Strong character introductions, an exciting and fun flashback, reflection by the protagonist, and earned callbacks to previous films in the DC franchise. Fun stuff.

Then, the movieWW1984 starts off with a really strong first half hour. Strong character introductions, an exciting and fun flashback, reflection by the protagonist, and earned callbacks to previous films in the DC franchise. Fun stuff.

Then, the movie takes a sharp nosedive into the absurd. Coincidences abound, completely unexplained motivations, bizarre reveals, and uncomfortable dialogue riddles the second act and by the time Wonder Woman hits you with its biggest action scene, you feel completely overwhelmed with just how many utterly absurd and annoyingly ridiculous things had to happen to get the characters to the setting for their fight. I really wanted to like this movie, and honestly, I'd watch the beginning of it again through the lens of a failed pilot episode. Overall, WW1984 falls flat, to the point where I think a third film wouldn't even be able to save the reputation of the second by cleaning up its mess. The series should be dead with the sequel, as Wonder Woman's second solo film has made this iteration of the character completely unsalvageable.… Expand

Whose idea was this garbage and where do I even start? OK, 40 min in and I already found few plot holes, tons of things make no sense including the villain. Why does he do what he do, what he was trying to achieve? Makes no sense. The "fish out of water" thing kinda wears off real quick and adds almost nothing to the story. The guy from WW2 does not know what fireworks are? seriously? Same with prologue part, has no reason to be there whatsoever.
There is a "teleportation" part in the middle, feels very out of place. And whole scene prior to that could have been easily removed, it adds nothing to story. There is also an anti-hero here that learns and can do stuff just in few hours, makes no sense.
The whole "wishing" thing does not make any sense as well, what if people wish opposite things? Or identical wishes? Bruce Almighty, anyone? (this is not spoiler, it is in trailers)

The Ending is not only stretched, (movie is definitely feels 20-ish min too long) but just overall weird and kind of anticlimactic, no cool scenes at all. And everthing comes back to normal like nothing happened. The whole movie feels like it does not need to exist. I am just so disappointed, I had faith in this movie and like 2020, it is a dumpster-fire.… Expand

Both villains were likeable and were played pretty well. There were a few good moments in the film. 'Someone else' was also very likeable albeit underused (undercooked? undersomething anyway!).

That's about where the good ends. An early scene is super corny/cheesy. Made me wonder if DC misunderstands fans that ask for their heroes to be more heroic and less dark, thinking they mean they want them and their villains and regular civilians to all be cheesy caricatures.
Diana does something incredibly selfish that essentially steals someone's autonomy and puts them in mortal danger for much of the film. I couldn't really stop seeing it that way. Her original action is unintended, following through on it is not.
The two villains are pretty decent, but the method of stopping the 'main' one seemed both weak and as though you could avoid consequences of your choices a little too easily.
I wish the Barbara character's other side got explored more.
CGI looked bad to shockingly bad in several places.
Felt slow sometimes. I think it is 2.5 hrs long and doesn't have near enough story for that.
I also have a continuity objection in Diana's power set here vs two future stories she has been seen in.
Unfortunately my review is that the original film was far superior. This wasn't terrible, but it is very forgettable. An aggressively average 5.… Expand

I was very excited for this movie when it was initially announced. I was even more excited when we were told it would be coming straight to HBOMax because of the pandemic. I thought it would be a nice Christmas present but boy was I wrong. I honestly don't know how this movie made it off of the cutting room floor. STORY

The film has a double opening structure that artificially extends is ridiculously long length even more. from then on the movie begins to showcase the poor writing skills of director Patty Jenkins. The entire film is based around a Macguffin that basically every character wants for their own purposes. There is no explanation given for how the Macguffin even made it into the movie and why it is important. I guess it's meant for us to suspend disbelief. The Macguffin causes all kinds of trouble that WW now has to undo and by the end of the movie it becomes clear that nothing that happened in this movie will have any lasting effect on the future of the franchise. EFFECTS

The film's CGI isn't too bad overall. Kristen Wiig as Cheetah looks pretty good in my opinion. The main issue I had was with the wire work of the lasso effects and how WW uses them. It looks very low budget and they could have cleaned it up more. CHARACTERS

Wonder Woman is living her life as an Anthropologist at the Smithsonian in D.C. and for some reason still hasn't gotten over Steve Trevor despite him being dead for DECADES. Kristen Wiig plays Barbara Ann Minerva (Cheetah) who is basically a dorky scientists that wishes she was as beautiful and sought after as Diana. Pedro Pascal does his best as the sleazy, snake oil salesman Maxwell Lord. Steve Trevor is basically the same as the previous movie. The plot revolves around these 4 main characters and their interactions with the Macguffin. QUESTIONS -If WW can fly why didn't she use that ability in BvS or JL? -Why did WW swing between lightning bolts when she was already FLYING?
-Why does Maxwell Lord have an Asian son that has no purpose in the plot?
-What was the point of the Golden Armor when it is ripped to shreds so easily by Cheetah? -Why doesn't Maxwell just have someone wish Diana dead?
-Why is this movie so long? -What was the point of the Amazon Olympics opening sequence?
-Why did Steve Trevor inhabit some random guy's body and why was Diana ok with that?

MY SCORE:

4/10 this movie was totally unnecessary. The plot was incredibly stupid, the characters were very forgettable and this film did nothing to setup future installments. They've already announced a sequel in development. I sincerely hope they bring back the writers of the first movie and don't let Patty Jenkins anywhere near the script.… Expand

This film is also incredibly boring for at least 90 minutes. It is terrible at holding the audience's attention. Now the reason this gets a 4, is because the music is great (Hans Zimmer, of course), and the action was actually good, but it took 2 hours to get there....

Mostly a stinker of a superhero film. Oh, I almost forgot to mention how bad Kristen Wig's villain was....just terrible. There really was literally no point in making this movie, BUT it still is a one time watch, and that's it. I won't be buying this one on 4k when it goes on sale.

One of the great appeals of Wonder Woman is her tie to the timeless past of greek mythology, and after hinting at a dark link with ancient origins, nothing further was revealed in that wasted storythread. Instead we get a trite, shallow, snake oil salesman routine on a global stage. Instead of a focused journey of growth and discovery, we get fire fighter Diana running from one flaming chaos to another. Gal Gadot plays her part beautifully, especially in her heartfelt scenes with Chris Pine. Some of those moments were heart wrenching as she reflects on the sacrifices of the past and future. Pine really rises to the occasion with maturity and resourcefulness. Pedro Pascal started off well but devolved into a melodramatic heap. Kristen Wiig also started well but descended into a shallow, vicious creature. Such wasted potential. Though the events of this movie play out on a global stage, the magnitude and investment is lost in a blizzard of pettiness and self serving motivations. There are no grand historical themes, no lessons for mankind, nothing of substance. I actually wonder if Jenkins was a one hit wonder, and if we should worry about Rogue Squadron.… Expand

But we got cheetah who created a little challenge and is a character seen so many times before that thinks she has been wronged and goes crazy. Maxwell lord who was always going to change his mind on what he is doing in the whole movie and making wishes just isn't that interesting than a villain Diana can not beat.

We also get Steve Trevor again who does little in this film but follow Diana around like a lost sheep. They should have gone with a new character really because from his introduction you knew he was not going to be staying very long and Diana would be upset like in the last movie pretty much the same thing again.… Expand

I was so excited to watch this movie, Wonder Woman in 2017 was such a wonderful film, and Gal Gadot actually saved Batman v. Superman in some ways for me, and the cast of this movie deserved so much better. Poor storytelling, bad development, the first ten minutes were a flashback to young Diana and it was the best scene of the entire movie, made me believe Diana was going to relate to her past experiences and try not to cheat her way through life, but nothing made me feel like she learned anything. She whined and cried over Steve after (spoiler, duh) he comes back and has to die again. The resurrection of his character felt forced and unnecessary, and Barbara Ann Minerva was such a poor character. Pedro Pascal truly is the one who carried this movie, as he played an over the top Maxwell Lord, and even if the his goals didn’t make sense, his character had a full arc that, at the end, felt like it was given justice. Can’t say shy about Wonder Woman or Cheetah, who again, they did such a poor job with. Poor Kristen Wiig. This cast has way too much to talent to bring such a slow, lackluster story with barely any memorable scenes or action. DC’s only good movies are Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, and Shazam! And I can TOLERATE Birds of Prey. This movie was too pushed, and had so much expectation, but quite literally gave up before it even began, and it’s a damn shame.… Expand

The not so good... The script is a bit of a mess. Shortcuts abound -- sometimes WW discovers powers that she just happens to need in the moment. Some things are never fully explained when you need them to be explained, you're just expected to pick up on it. There's a scene where WW is speaking in a low voice and can be heard perfectly, when the ambient noise is causing the other character to yell to be heard. And one rescue scene is just irredeemably bad. Lots of little things like that that pull you out of the moment.

In all, it's not a terrible movie. It's just not a great movie, and as a fan of the superhero genre I doubt I'll ever watch it a second time.… Expand

This is four episodes of the Lynda Carter TV show, follows light hearted family adventure rules from those tv shows for the most part. So that’s that I guess... =/

It somehow makes the first movie way better, in comparison, which had it's own flaws, but at least gave a concrete story, decent origin story, and paved a better path that should have lead to something better than WW1984. Wonder Woman's moment in Batman vs Superman was probably greater than this entire movie.… Expand

Honestly, I was one of the ones who was starting to forgetAnticipation it's keeping me waiting but now it's here. It took so long for Wonder Woman 1984 (WW84) to be released everyone either forgot about it or was sitting on pins and needles. Honestly, I was one of the ones who was starting to forget that this movie was even coming out until the news that it was coming to HBO Max. So you know I had to check it out on the Christmas weekend. Would this sequel live up to the hype of first movie? Or will it be forgotten in the utter mess that 2020 and Pandemic world has left us in?

I'm going to keep it simple as possible with WW84 and that's hard to do with a film that was all over the place. WW84 was a jumbled, slightly boring, unfocused mess. When I say "mess", I don't mean because the movie was horrible, I mean "mess" because the movie was just very average compared to the anticipation. I've only seen and heard people say this movie was "meh", "bad", "boring" or "good". I'm was quite frankly baffled at that range but not after viewing the movie. I understand that most of this angst comes from the viewers and reviewers because the first movie was just so focused and detailed. WW84 had promise but, just like Tenet, it suffered from "you're doing too much" disease. Yet strangely, WW84 also didn't do quite enough, and for a movie that runs for 2 hours and 26 minutes that's quite a feat. The movie looked pretty good but also didn't give us the magic from the first movie. Except you, Gal Gadot, you are magical to look at. The dialogue was basic even though Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal did their best to keep it interesting. Side note, K. Wiig gave Gal a run for her good looking money for a minute there in the movie. But let me focus, don't get me started on the action. There was nothing new and the cool points of the trailer were so trivial and minimal in the actual movie. It seems like they forgot this was a super hero movie because there was way too little action for a long movie like this. Either give us more action or make the action you have so dope it's memorable, but they found a way to do neither. It was only a little taste here and a little taste there but that's about it. It's honestly like the whole creative team were all on different pages for this movie and the editing couldn't save the final product. The puzzle was already configured and the pieces clearly weren't in the right spots. I mean for goodness sake there wasn't even a real villain in the movie. Come on DC! You're already lagging behind in the movie franchise world, you cannot fumble the ball like this after such a good first film just a few years ago.

With all of that said, the movie really is just an average super hero flick. There is some entertainment with action but the length of the movie and the unfocused narrative lead to the movie feeling boring and inconsequential. If I'd paid for this in the theater, I'd be pretty upset but as a streaming options, it's not a reason to get HBO MAX but if you already have the app you can stream it if you're bored with a handful of popcorn.… Expand

anyone that gave this movie a 10 is lying and anyone that gave it a 0 is also lying, WW84 is ok at best, if dvd's were still a thing it would be a straight to dvd movie, a B flick at best, watch once and forget it exists.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is bland, too long, and doesn't make sense. It's sad to see the franchise go from an amazing first film to an incoherent unexplained mess for the second.

The McGuffin of this movie is a rock, that grants wishes. There is nothing else to it. We don't get a revelation scene where Diana figure that out properly. We get a scene where she visits a crazy person who is a Mayan, and Diana just... Believes him? Her wish and desire to go back on that wish is out of character. Diana would have immediately retracted her wish as soon as she knew it was destroying her and the world.

The plot is painfully predictable. Even my Fiancee who actively chooses not to think ahead in movies and take them at face value was ripping this movie apart for this very straightforward no risks taken plot. She even predicted at the very beginning that the ending would be a 'zero-sum' of everything that happened.

Moving onto the CGI, whilst the underused Kristen Wigg's final Cheeta look was great, it was absolutely destroyed by the rest of the movie with poor physics and HORRIBLE animation on Gal Godot's Wonder Woman.

How disappointing. No wonder this movie was so quick to streaming, instead of waiting for a full theatrical release. I think the studio knew it would be met with this response.

4.5/10.… Expand

Since the release of “Wonder Woman 1984” on Christmas day, I’ve largely been AFK–that’s geek speak for “Away From Keyboard”–and have no idea if it’s been getting praise from more mainstream critics. It won’t be getting any from me.

ISince the release of “Wonder Woman 1984” on Christmas day, I’ve largely been AFK–that’s geek speak for “Away From Keyboard”–and have no idea if it’s been getting praise from more mainstream critics. It won’t be getting any from me.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2017 installment, writing among other things:

“Hollywood finally got another superhero movie right (and it certainly took them enough tries). ‘Wonder Woman‘ strikes an impressive balance between action and comedy, and it does so in a way that is distinctly geared towards female sensibilities–a true rarity in the genre.”

The 2020 version, however, is just as disappointing as the year itself.

How writers Dave Callaham, Geoff Johns, and writer-director Patty Jenkins went from such highs to such lows is beyond my comprehension. Compared to the original, nothing in “Wonder Woman 1984” is compelling, from the storyline to the action sequences to the cinematography and beyond.

Taking just one brief burst of thirty seconds or so as a sampling, logic and continuity were repeatedly spurned as I thought to myself, “Why would a fighter jet be accessible to someone with Smithsonian clearance and just be sitting on a runway ready to go?” and “How could a World War I-era pilot possibly fly an 80s-era fighter jet?” and “Fighter jets can’t fly direct from Washington D.C. to Egypt without refueling” and “Since they just established that it happens to be the 4th of July (purely for the visuals, of course, not furthering the actual plot in ANY way) why was everyone else acting like it was a typical workday earlier?”

Again, because it bears repeating, all these complaints of mine are from a single sequence. If I were to type out everything I feel is wrong with “Wonder Woman 1984,” I’d wear out my keyboard.

The bottom line is that Jenkins & Co. seemingly got so infatuated with the idea of constructing a movie around the concept of the Monkey’s Paw that every other element had to be crowbarred into the theme, everything else be damned. It’s a shame, as the legacy of the Wonder Woman film franchise has forever been damaged by “Wonder Woman 1984,” making me wonder if Jenkins herself had previously wished upon the paw and is now paying the price.… Expand

Clearly the success of the first film granted Patty Jenkins ample freedom, but that doesn't translate into a good movie, much less a great story, and Wonder Woman 1984 is an excessive and cartoonish film.
I can even go so far as to say that there were oversaturated moments that made me think of Schumacher's Batman & Robin.

It certainly doesn't fall as low as that slop, but Jenkins plays with a lot of elements that doesn't really help her film. Mainly, I deeply believe that it was a mistake to continue placing the character in the past. An element that also shows an implicit hypocrisy on behalf of the director, since she criticized Joss Whedon because Justice League contradicts her films, but this same film contradicts what Zack Snyder did in BVS, because apparently she forgot that Diana Prince herself says that she walked away from humanity 100 years ago, and 1984 shows that she did not do that.

I must say that at all times the decision to place the plot of the film at that time was more a whim of the director, than a real decision that adds something to the character, especially since we already know the sophisticated woman she became in the present. What Wonder Woman 1984 really is, is a love story in which the lead character ultimately learns that the easiest way is not the best option and she has to learn to let go. It's nothing new or innovative, but I assume that for many viewers it will be enough for emotional catharsis, especially considering that critics have called it an antidote to the reality we're currently living, which makes me think about what their reasons would be to value it, if we weren't in the middle of a pandemic.

And what's the worst sin in the film? Its villains and their remarkable lack of threat.
Pascal's character is the catalyst, while the wrongly chosen Kristen Wiig is the muscle.
Pascal is at least credible, Wiig's plot twist is simply laughable, and forced to work more by the structure of the narrative than because it has a specific or necessary weight in the plot.

Gadot delivers, and shows that the character belongs to her, and her chemistry with Pine is still genuine like in the first film.
Pine is her best support and anchor. Now her real challenge will be seeing her standing alone in the character's third planned film.

In small mention, I have to give kudos to Hans Zimmer's remarkable score, but thumbs down for the CGI and some VFX shots, since there are moments that look really bad, especially the scenes in which Wonder Woman is running.

In conclusion? It was more hype than anything else.
And for me it's one of the biggest disappointments of the year.… Expand

Patty Jenkins, the director, has the movie set in the 80s which isn't a setting that's common in superhero movies. They utilise this setting by having more vibrant colors compared to the grey, dim colors of the first movie. Also, the set and costumes designers do a phenomenal job in bringing the 80s to life.I also like the idea that it is kind of a reverse situation to the first movie for Wonder Woman. In the first movie, she was the fish out of water learning about the world outside Themyscira but here it's Steve Trevor instead. Due to this, we get to see a completely different Wonder Woman from the first movie and a slightly flustered Steve which was entertaining. The action scenes are also pretty fun to watch but they are nowhere near as good as the first movie to be fair. Also, Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) was a surprising villain as he was more emotional and less stoic than I expected. Most supervillains in comic book movies, even the first Wonder Woman movie, are bad because they are bad and just stone-cold but Maxwell is more energetic than that which is different. On that note, I think the actors all do a really good job. Gal Gadot feels better than previous movies now as it feels like she has got the ropes. Chris Pine is still charming and charismatic and Steve Trevor. The chemistry between the two is still there and the best moments in the movie are the scenes where Wonder Woman and Steve are together. There are some emotional moments in this movie and Gal Gadots performance is incredibly convincing. Pedro Pascal is so good as the main villain and his performance throughout the movie as Maxwell Lord becomes more insane is very convincing and enjoyable to watch. Kristen Wiig as Babara/Cheetah, the secondary villain, was a controversial casting but I think she does a great job with what is given. Kristen is great as the weird and awkward Babara in the first part of the movie but is also great as the more confident Babara in the second half of the movie. On the other hand, the story is kind of disjointed and messy. It doesn't flow well and due to that causes some pacing issues. The movie is a whopping 151 minutes but this is fine if the movie was constantly engaging which this movie isn't. There are a fair amount of moments where the movie drags. Additionally, Wonder Woman's character arc in the movie is kind of weak. I feel like Wonder Woman from the beginning of this movie is still the same at the end of the movie. It doesn't feel like this movie was an important story to tell for her character and she even feels like a supporting character in her movie. The villains are shallow and cliche as well. Maxwell Lord has a son he loves which adds some humanity to his character but for the most part, he wants power because he just does. Babara/Cheetah motives are just so generic as she becomes villain just because she is jealous and that's it. I also disagree with the way Steve was utilised in the movie and felt the emotional moment with him could've been stronger.

I think my biggest complaint is how cheesy this movie is. I cringe so much in this movie even when it's meant to be serious. The movie is just laughably dumb at times and that is just kind of disappointing when compared to the serious nature of the first movie. For example, the mall action scene is just so cheesy with bad supporting actors, silly choreography and terrible lines. The movie also ends with a very cheesy message that they try to shove down the audience's throat. Instead of pushing the movie to new heights, the movie decides to embody all the cliches you can think of. The action scenes are fun, except for the mall scene, but there are some very noticeable and shoddy CGI. You think with all the delays this movie went through that they would fix the CGI but nope it's quite bad. An example would be the truck scene with Wonder Woman running along with the car and it's so green screen or the Cheetah CGI looking like it's from Cats (2019). On that note, one of my complaints about the first Wonder Woman movie was the dumb fight near the end against a dark-coloured CGI thing at night and Wonder Woman 1984 kind of does the same thing. It's not as dark and bad but it is just her fighting some terrible CGI Cheetah. Hans Zimmer who is a legendary composer does the score for the movie but it feels phoned in. Also, severe lack of 80s music for some reason. The score is just okay and that's not what I expect from Hans which is a shame. My last point is a nitpick but this movie is still set in the DC extended universe yet this global scale threat is barely mentioned. It just feels so weird that such a large scale event doesn't seem to be of that much important in this universe. Honestly, I don't even understand why the director made this a global threat because it didn't need to be. Also, the movie ends with no repercussions for some reason.… Expand

While pining for her true love (Chris Pine), she comes to numerous rescues… on the DL. Two villains emerge: Max Lord, a greedy huckster who wants to rule the world (Pedro Pascal with verve but not special) and The Cheetah, a mousy researcher with a wish for super powers (Kristen Wiig who manages to subtly incorporate her comic charm). The evil-rules-the-world theme is tired and the evolution of the story is rather dumb. What we really care about is the action and there are some moments that thrill, but most of the scenes aren’t spectacular. To make matters worse, the attempts at emotional drama get in the way of a good time. After the engaging spirit and rousing stunts in the original, this follow-up doesn’t manage to instill the same magic or thrills. BTW, look for the real-life daughters of Gadot and Jenkins in a snowball toss near the end with Gadot’s hubby and other daughter riding a carousel in that sequence. NOTE: Sit thru the early end credits for a wonderful surprise cameo.… Expand
