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

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

Gal Gadot returns as Diana Prince in “Wonder Woman 1984” which has seen its release date shift a few times due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The film has started to open overseas and will arrive in the U.S. on Christmas day with a limited debutGal Gadot returns as Diana Prince in “Wonder Woman 1984” which has seen its release date shift a few times due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The film has started to open overseas and will arrive in the U.S. on Christmas day with a limited debut on HBO Max as well.

The story sees Diana now living in Washington D.C. in 1984. Diana is popular but has refused male companionship as she still longs for her late love Steve Trevor (Chris Pine).

Diana works in the Smithsonian Institute in antiquities and keeps her secret identity under wraps even when a daring mall heist forces her to leap into action.

A shy and passive employee named Barbara (Kirsten Wiig); who is afraid of her own shadow and largely ignored by her peers is befriended by Diana and they discover one item from the heist is inscribed with the ability to grant a wish. Unknowingly Diana wishes for Steve to return and Barbara wishes to be more like Diana which sets a chain of events into motion.

A shady business man named Maxwell Lord (Perdro Pascal) has his site on obtaining the relic as he believes having the ability to grant wishes will allow him to save his failing business and give him the power he craves.

With such a promising setup; the film ultimately does not deliver on its premise and becomes bogged down in drawn out sequences with surprisingly little action and gaps in logic that defy even standards for a comic book film.

The first 90 minutes of the film has roughly 10-15 minutes of action tops and we are instead given lengthy scenes of Steve trying to find an 80s fashion look; flying over fireworks, and Maxwell trashing from one locale to another without much needed continuity.

An action scene involving a convoy chase through the desert seems very inspired by “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and ultimately does not deliver especially with such a long gape between the action sequences.

The final act does attempt to redeem the film as seeing Barbara transform into her new persona is interesting and Wiig does a very solid job with the role. This sadly is undermined with a single line of dialogue which takes away a big part of the transformation that audiences deserved to see.

There was also a sequence where Diana races down the streets and takes to flight with her Lasso and then discovers she can fly like Superman. Not only is this not in keeping with the character; but we see this extended fast moving sequence where she is clearly heading away from D.C. at great speed only to arrive at a destination with an item which had been established to be back at her home in D.C. It is this sort of sloppiness that really detracts from the film. There is also the fact that Steve has to fly her around on a jet that even as a pilot he should not know how to fly as he has never flown a jet aircraft in his life.

When the big confrontation comes it is a letdown as it is not overly epic and the CGI really does not seem to mesh. What is an even bigger disappointment is that a certain character stands emoting for several minutes while Diana gives such a bland and extended speech that even my wife had to ask “who wrote these lines”.

The film was not a total disaster as the characters were interesting and worked well with one another making the film entertaining in parts despite being really disappointed with it.

The film strikes me as a product of the talented Patty Jenkins being able to do whatever she wanted after the success of the first film. Jenkins not only Directed but did the screenplay for it. Considering the amazing job she did writing “Monster” I had high expectations for the film but to me it seemed like it could have used a bit more attention to several aspects.

My summary would be the following… good cast, entertaining in parts, not much action over two hours, takes huge liberties with Diana and her abilities, massive gaps in logic even for a comic movie. It aims to be epic and comes up lacking. At least the mid. credit scene was worth it.

3 stars out of 5… Expand

What doesn’t work are the elements that plague all superhero films: thin writing, cliches, an uneven tone, and abundant cheesiness (it’s hard to watch without rolling your eyes at least twice). What’s fascinating is that the least interesting part of the film is the heroine - the titular character; Wiig’s more grisly, grounded, cynical character, however, makes the film worth experiencing.… Expand

If there’s one thing we all need to distract ourselves from the sheer chaotic madness that is 2020 it’s to lose yourself in an entertaining superhero movie and Wonder Woman 1984 is the delightfully entertaining distraction we need right now.If there’s one thing we all need to distract ourselves from the sheer chaotic madness that is 2020 it’s to lose yourself in an entertaining superhero movie and Wonder Woman 1984 is the delightfully entertaining distraction we need right now.

We last saw Wonder Woman during WWI and now fast forward to the 1980s Wonder Woman is back on the big screen facing two brand new enemies Max Lord (Pedro Pascal) and The Cheetah (Kristen Wiig). Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) now working in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. comes across a mysterious stone with the ability to apparently grant wishes to anyone holding it. The stone seems ordinary enough to everyone except of course the power-crazed Max Lord. Fear not as Wonder Woman is safely back in the hands of director Patty Jenkins, and beautifully accompanied by another stunning Hans Zimmer score. Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig are great additions to the cast, both making believable villains with clear motivations. Pascal particularly is stealing the spotlight and doing some real scenery chewing any chance he gets. Look, it’s not perfect and it has its issues, most of which you can overlook. I did feel it was missing an action sequence and it’s a little disjointed in places but despite that I enjoyed seeing Gal Gadot kick ass on the big screen again. Wonder Woman 1984 is a bright burst of 80s nostalgia with an old school superhero feel to it.

The days of sitting in a packed cinema are long gone and it’s uncertain when we’ll ever get back to that but right now the cinemas are open and operating safely so when you’re ready to get back in front of the silver screen again Wonder Woman 1984 is waiting for you, although depending on where you live you might want to hurry up and see it quick. Recommended for all you film buffs out there.… Expand

It's not as good as the first one but definitely enjoyable. I don't get people complaining about the movie. It's not a surprise that the sequels are almost always worse. WW 1984 has many good things going for it.

His character hurt the development of Babara. In some of the scenes, the CG is pretty bad, and the third act fight scene is laughably bad and wasted so much potential. Am I going to watch this movie? Probably not. Very disappointing coming from the first film. Now, I'm not too sure about WW3 now.… Expand

The effects of her jumping onto buildings like Spider-Man and when she don't have them, holding onto lightning bolts are from b-series tv movie. High heels shoes don't look good on her when she's running. The romantic and comedy scenes between Diana and Steve are very childish and absurd, not adult at all, the whole movie in general. There are scenes reminiscent of Batman from Schumacher. Invisibility is pulled up their sleeve without any explanation, it does it because the script says. The theme of "I don't need a man to be happy" is absurd and contradicts itself in the same movie, because she has been sad for decades for having lost her love. There are cameras even in the mall, however they enter the White House as if nothing, without any security. The villains are much better than in the previous installment led by great actors. The treatment of men is worse than in Birds of Prey. The action scenes are very good and the movie is not bad, but it has many flaws. The final battle is very good, but it is very short.… Expand

I loved the first movie and thought this one was just ok. It's 2 and a half hours which is probably the worst thing about it. It's just not worth that much of someone's time.

Aside from that... they retread some old ground. In the firstI loved the first movie and thought this one was just ok. It's 2 and a half hours which is probably the worst thing about it. It's just not worth that much of someone's time.

Aside from that... they retread some old ground. In the first movie diana was a fish out of water and now it's steve's turn but... it's not quite as funny in my opinion.

Also Kristen Wiig as a villain... terrible casting. She'd be fine as a geeky best friend but as someone ignored, gradually turning evil... she just can't pull it off. Plus realistically... she's not nearly as attractive as gal gadot. It's kind of weird having her as a rival.

The action is pretty good though and it's well shot. Some pretty solid performances. Not a great script or story. Just some nonsense about a magic wishstone. Overall... it's fine but a big step down from the first movie and too long. 2 hours would be much better.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WW84 was an ok film. The story had an interesting premise but some elements were poorly exploited. The Cheetah came way too late into the movie and that didn't setup that villain very well. The main villain was fine but got too much screen time. Renouncing a wish should have been more spectacular and include a time factor. The FX were not always accurate. Some composite scenes were pretty bad (children pickup by WW), some felt totally CGI. The flight scenes were pretty good. The acting was solid from the main actors, less from the rest. I like the emotional parts but the Christmas scene at the end felt incredibly cheesy. What happened to Cheetah ? Don't know. The music was average at best. I give it a 60%. Although it's not bad movie, it's structure and story decision is left to be desire. The second wish for Cheetah, just broke the main accepted premise.… Expand

Pedros character is alright, I feel like he would have been a better side character though.

L'essentiel du problème se trouve dans l'écriture, là où le 1er film avait excellé celui-ci failli. Le plot est trop faible et inconsistant. Il y a quelques facilités et trous scénaristiques qui piquent :
- l'électricité pour Cheetah,
- des personnages qui apparaissent par magie au bon moment,
- Steve n'a pas de passeport ??
- Steve qui ne sait pas prendre un escalator alors qu'il peut piloter un avion avec 70ans de nouvelles technologies

Les acteurs sont géniaux, ils ont parfaitement rempli leur rôles. Plus particulièrement Pedro Pascal qui est un excellent Maxwell Lord. Kristen Wiig aussi était pas mal mais d'un autre côté Je trouve que son personnage de Barbara n'a pas été assez bien utilisée, à moins qu'elle puisse revenir dans WW3, ça restera un personnage gaspillé.

J'ai été déçu parce que j'attendais beaucoup de ce film et aussi parce que WW est mon personnage préféré. J'ai pas mal de chose à redire dessus mais faut avouer que les 2 premières scènes (Games & Mall) sont juste incroyables. Le score de Hans Zimmer est incroyable (Themyscira, Games, 1984, Black Gold, Cheetah, Open Road, White House, Radio Waves, etc.) J'écoute l'album en boucle depuis sa sortie. L'utilisation de Beautiful Lies était sympa mais la scène manquait un peu d'épic pour être aussi marquante que dans BvS.

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

Gadot has a winning smile but reads her lines rather than acts and does the godawful 'head shake' to express emotion. There's a degree of forced diversity (in supporting characters) and 'Men are bad, m'kay?' which is at odds with this potboiler's largely ignored stab at a theme (truth before all else) expressed by the excellent Robin Wright who, as in the first film, is the best thing in this outing.… Expand

The last half hour of the film is where most ofWonder Woman 1984 is a very mediocre movie. It’s nowhere near the best superhero or DC film, but also not the worst. In my experience, I personally enjoyed it while also seeing why others won’t. The last half hour of the film is where most of the negative criticism lies. Though the rest of the movie was great, the last half hour and final conclusion were the most disappointing and least memorable. One thing that heavily annoyed me when watching was the fact that Maxwell Lord has the same amount if not more scenes than Diana. He’s not even a character worth having this many scenes because he is just a boring antagonist. Maxwell Lord was definitely the worst part of this film unlike the second villain, Barbra Minerva/Cheetah. I absolutely loved seeing the slow transformation of Barbra becoming Cheetah throughout the film. I wish that the movie only centered around her and Diana since she was the best part of the movie for me.… Expand

Whoever had the idea for a villain like that, can bugger off. because DC had the best villains ever.. But in this movie, not only is it that they tried to make not one but 2 convincing villains with backstories and failed in the process. But also, The hero of the movie Wonder Woman... it was just not there for me.. I mean the point where she was losing her powers and stuff, that could have been made to be so much more interesting, but it was just not there. Massive disappointment. A Letdown for me.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Apparently there was rumors that had messages within the movie. Maybe it did, but didn't bother me all that much. Kristen Wiig didn't bug me all that much, but you do expect a joke here and there. Just wish yhere was more Cheetah. Patty Jenkins has got to fid her footing in finding a believable bad guy. The Max Lord in the comics was ruthlessness evil. Didn't believe in this bad guy. And Chris Pine really didn't need to be in this movie. Could have done without, but that's my opinion. And as 8 see it, many others. Loved the first movie, gave it 9.5. But this one, I give it a 6.5. So be warned.… Expand

I’ll say it...I’m a Superhero Movie Junkie. I love them all. I think a “6” is about as low as I can go. Superhero movies are exciting, entertaining and I’m usually captivated throughout the entirety of watching one. This movie was no different, but...

The bar was high for Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot was/is an incredible Wonder Woman and overall superhero. There’s a mystery and intrigue of this character that always has me on the edge of my seat. The intrigue was there for Wonder Woman the character, but lost on the movie. I actually enjoyed all of the performances of this movie. Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal and Chris Pine are each exceptional in their own right. The storyline is where the mark was missed. The opening scene of the movie was a throwback to Dianna’s youth. The scene was awesome, but the connection of that scene to the rest of the movie was lost. You could maybe make a far reach of how Dianna had to... no... no you can’t. It was lost.

As the movie gets going you quickly learn Wiig and Pascal’s motivation for their characters. The two actually want the same thing (to feel important and to have more “x”), but Pascal’s character takes the biggest leap to attain it. The beginning and middle of this movie are excellent. The story line is presented, the obstacles are unfolding and even Chris Pine’s resurrection of character makes some sense. The end of the movie, however, really loses its luster. The reason for Pascal’s villainous demise was completely lost on me. A cheap pep rally from Wonder Woman seemed to turn the tide (I suppose the son’s wish could have been the reason, but it never seemed like that was the case). The final 20-25 minutes seemed very rah-rah and not from the typical superhero way you would expect. In this film, the inevitability that good always “beats” evil prevailed because good is just better morally than evil and not because of any stereotypical fight scene. While I’ll concede that this may be a movie that 2020 needed, it seemed like the type of movie that 10 years from now we will look back on and say, “That movie started really great, but what the heck happened in the end?”… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was wishing this movie came out. Unfortunately the wish came in the form of a monkey's paw clause. I lost 2hrs and 30mins of my life in exchange. I now renounce my wish to try to save the world from this movie. Wonder Woman 1984 is another score mark for 2020's disappointments. This is not quite the Cyberpunk 2077 of movies, but it could learn the same lessons from that debacle. This movie was undercooked and unpolished. WB definitely knew what they had and purposely used what goodwill it gained from Wonder Woman to leverage their streaming service. What will actually bothers most fans about WW84 will be continuity and the lack of context for new powers. This movie could have been fixed by either shortening it and fully make it a one off adventure movie that doesn't conflict with established storylines. The other way is to extend the movie even longer. Like how the Synder cut will be four parts. This movie need more time to cover all the villains and better contextualize her new powers. The plot holes alone will infuriate those dedicated to the establish DCEU. Whoever wrote this script took bits and parts of comics and decided to put it all in one movie and not give well scripted context to all these elements. I would almost say they were part of the last season of Game of Thrones writers. Another example of a great idea that was undercooked. It would've been nice to see WW gain her invisibility powers through some training flashback or anything besides, her Mr. Miyagi-ing it and just getting it to work perfectly. If you're stuck at home like me and have plenty of time on your hands, watch this movie. It's not a total waste, but you'll have some words on it after viewing. Hopefully the 3rd WW learns from it's mistakes. This also makes me very nervous about the rest of WB's 2021 release slate. I hope the Matrix 4 doesn't look like made for TV production value.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WW84 gets unfairly trashed in the sense that, in a vacuum, it's not a bad movie at all. The movie suffers though, because the first one was so good. Gadot was awesome in the role as usual, and surprisingly, Wiig was fantastic in her portrayal of Minerva as well. The real issue with this movie, other than the pacing, is how Steve Trevor's return was handled. It was downright cringy, and neither WW nor Steve really see an issue with him inhabiting some other guy's body with no thought given to this guy's life. Other than that, WW84 is perfectly fine, just didn't live up to expectations.… Expand

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

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 PattyAfter so much time and all the delays it had, it's strange to realize that the expectations far exceeded the results, and that personally, Wonder Woman 1984 was a massive disappointment.

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

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

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

This movie is no where even close to the charm, humour, and great writing as the first one. This movie would have been straight up garbage if it wasn't for Chris Pine...he carried this movie.

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

The acting was fine but the pacing, the effects, and the very iffy message didn't make up for what could have been. It also didn't make any sense...like at all. When watching superhero movie, it's easy to forget about suspension of disbelief but when watching this movie, there's just so much of it that it's like the directors were trying to make it incomprehensible in a good way but instead made a confusing, muddled mess. Also the message that Patty Jenkins was trying to convey in this movie was a reasonably fine message but can be viewed in so many different ways that it's hard to know what the message actually is, and many people having watched this movie can very easily take the message the wrong way and...something could happen because of that. Other than the entertainment, there is very little of this movie which is not awful… Expand

When an ancient artefact imbued with godly powers comes to light however, she finds herself fighting to save the World.

The original Wonder Woman remains the best of the recent DC movies, but this sequel unfortunately fails to live up to it’s predecessor. For a start, the central pairing of Gal Gadot and Chris Pine (that was a large part of the first movie) is given far too little screen time in favour of Pedro Pascal’s Maxwell Lord, a nemesis who’s ultimate plan never really seems to make much sense. Wonder Woman 1984 also lacks any real sense of humour, and just takes itself far too seriously for a movie about a superhuman woman with a magic lasso and invisible jet! Even the action sequences are a bit of a disappointment thanks to some ropey CGI. It’s only really Gal Gadot’s captivating screen presence that keeps this from being a complete waste of time to be honest.… Expand

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
