This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't normally write film reviews but after reading both critics and audience articles that totally tore WW1984 to pieces, I decided to argue in favour of a film I personally enjoyed.

I absolutely loved WW84 and the first thought I had a soon as I walked out of the cinema was that I actually liked it more than the first one. It is brave, humane, heart-warming, compassionate and full of positive elements.

Patty Jenkins does an exceptional job at creating the character of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. She finally brings to life the heroine Marston (WW comic's creator) always intended. He believed women were more honest than men so Antiope teaches a young Diana that 'No true hero is born from lies'. Wonder Woman is fearless, strong, independent, compassionate and she sacrifices her own happiness for a greater good. She empowers herself and she fights the enemy in the way a woman would: not with sword and shield but with warm and compassionate words. Love over violence! Even though Diana is a demi-God, has the same weaknesses and flaws of any woman so she doesn't feel like that superhero out of reach but a character any woman could relate to. Wonder Woman is the ultimate heroine!

While her antagonist Maxwell Lord in the beginning appears to be a sinister megalomaniac villain, at the end reveals himself to be a troubled soul who's only trying to make his son proud. Pedro Pascal's interpretation is absolutely breath taking, truly humane and touching. He is the real star of this film. On the other hand, Kristen Wiig plays Barbara Minerva a character that, in my opinion, represents so many women who try to change who they are in the attempt of being more successful and more likable. But by doing so they completely erase their real self and lose their inner beauty. Barbara Minerva wishes to be more like her friend Diana, beautiful, extrovert and strong but the more she becomes like her the more she loses empathy, warmth and kindness until she finally turns into Cheetah.

Speaking of which, I have to say I am aware that comic's fans were disappointed by Max Lord and Cheetah because their depiction is not faithful to the graphic novels and I totally understand how they feel. However, I believe Patty Jenkins and the other scrip writers have done a brilliant job re-adapting these characters not only to fit in a modern narrative but these characters also embody fears and insecurities we all face at some point in our life.

The only real flaw I found in the film is a plot hole in the scene where Steve Trevor flies a modern jet but, considering he was a WWI pilot, it is not clear how he learned to do that. I know we are talking about a fantasy film but it still has to be coherent.

In conclusion WW84 is a film packed with action, very good acting, it is entertaining, humane, heart-warming, full of positive messages and Hans Zimmer nailed the score once more.

I felt like the story line had more action, while also leaving plenty of time for story building and character development. This movie also had far less of the visually jarring CGI of the first movie (while there are moments, it was far less egregious). I thought the ending was much better, and fit much better than in the first movie.

Certainly not perfect but a wonderful (sic) adventure where we see no real villain and the hero is truly heroic rather than just a cheesy badass.

With the negatives in the the characters being caused by character flaws, lust or fear of failing their child or losing the one they love the movie immediately adds more thought than the average comic book movie where the baddie is the baddie because that's just what they are.

In this the baddie is flawed and with temptation those flaws threaten to destroy them and all they love. It's not black and white clarity which some might have a problem with, along with the fanastical events that follow.

If you can step out of your conventional mind and go with the flow, appreciate the sentiments of the film you'll get a lot out of it. But if you just want to see Wonder Woman be a badass CGI monster puncher you're going to be disappointed.

This is BIG FILMMAKING, James Cameron BIG. They re-purposed all 65 stores of an empty 1980s mall. It has terrific 1980s ambience. Thematically, this is 'Donald Trump and his Jan. 6th crowd meet the Monkey's Paw' I went with it; within its narrative, it's coherent. Seems more timely in 2021 than its original release date. Can you name even one other movie addressing the Trump problem head-on?
Can you name even one other movie addressing the Trump problem without shaming him?
Kristen Wiggins and Pedro Pascal's characters and presentations are so strong, Gal Godot's WW takes a back seat to them. This also happened when Chris Reeves played opposite more colorful actors playing Lex Luthor. In WW 84, this works much better. The film is pretty great, even if as critic note, its grasp falls short of its thematic reach.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Look, don't watch it if you're a cynic. WonderWoman 1984 is the cinema equivalent of cotton candy. This movie has more heart than the entire recent JJ Star Wars trilogy combined (low bar, I give you that). What you have here is movie subtly defying the expectation of the superhero template. There isn't even a real antagonist or final battle or such things. It's an in-your-face love letter to 80s. A great cast with a relatable "villain". An all out 80s action flick with a wonderful soul. Well, kinda like an 80s movie. That's why it rocks. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably one of my favorite superhero movie. It's inspirational, the vilains have more depth than an average movie of the genre. Wonderwoman is powerful yet vulnerable enough to give us powerful heroic messages. Like in the first movie Chris Pine is an excellent sidekick, helping the main character without stealing the spotlight. the soundtrack is really good and celebrates the DC cinematic Universe in some ways.
My main issue with the film is the SFX. Really bad CGI in some scenes.

Hans Zimmer did a wonderful job.
Start of the film with Zimmer's music is so Dope, introduction of Cheetah & Maxwell lord to DCEU is good.

Not since the Nolan Batman movies or the first Snyder films I have seen such great attention to character and world development.

If there are common themes to various super-heroes, the search and promoting of empathy in Wonder Woman's journey is subtly and beautifully depicted in this heartwarming film. It reminds me of Spider-Man 2 in a very positive way, as it seems like every character is a crucial element of the hero's story, and not just another box to check. It also makes a lot of sense, then, that the main villain is this megalomaniac with a Napoleon complex who is, paradoxically, a complete failure in his personal life.

As far as story goes, I was very positively surprised. But this movie also exhibits great pacing and exciting action scenes, that felt refreshingly organic. The grandiose directing and score put the cherry on the top.

Great action movie with a carefully crafted script. Probably one of my favorite super-hero movies of recent years, maybe one of my favorite, period.

As such, modern audiences balked at the film. It is literally a film that subvert expectations. Why an 8 from me? Well, I actually got what she was aiming for, which was a version of Donner's Superman 2, applied to WW's character arc. Yet audiences wanted spectacles, not drama.

The Avengers annoyed me and I found "cheesy", with a flying worm essentially as the bad guy, and wordless dudes that were climbing on buildings that did nothing. There is nothing in this film...any more cheesy..than anything in an Avengers film. I have no idea what people are talking about, if they think anything Avengers is remotely realistic..and somehow this is not. Its literally fantasy. Its movies. It isn't real. The comments complaining sound pretty funny as most of these people likely like the Avengers and think its great...when its no more "cheesy" than anything in multiple Super Hero films. It's a good sequel, with the biggest knock, being a long run time at 2:30 mins (I watched it in 2 sittings)...and the first 45 minutes or so is kindof slow for a superhero movie..but that's about it. I was still drawn in by the mystery of the plot, as I wanted to know what would happen, and the last 1/3 builds to a pretty exciting climax, typical of a big Super Hero film. Perhaps people had too high of expectations ? Pretty good sequel, to a flawed original, I enjoyed both. (also great performance by Pasqual and an interesting possible metaphor to his character.)

Mulher-Maravilha 1984 é um filme mediano, com alguns momento divertidos e engraçado, os vilões são fracos assim como o vilão do primeiro filme, mas o filme tem alguns fan service bem legais e a cena pos credito é fan service puro

I don't know who started that WW 1984 bashing, but its way better than reviews make it look. Especially when compared to other super hero action movies, like Aquaman or similar. The script is not perfect, but better than most others.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 7.5

For the life of me I can not understand why anyone could hate this movie. Yes ill admit there were some dull and corny scenes during the movie, Probably trying to pay homage the Lynda carter WW, but it was a solid movie. that deserves the 7.5.

Pros:
- Awesome fight scenes. half of the movies fight scenes was awesome
- The chemistry between cast members
- Pedro pascal performance as Maxwell lord
- Maxwell lord is a much better villian than Ares. Possible the greatest in the DCEU.
- That Beautiful Lie scene was... well Beautiful.
- the last half of the second act and the entire third act was amazing
- that Lynda Carter cameo

Cons:
- cheesy Fight scenes. the other half were not so great.
- CGI was a step down then to what the DCEU has offered us.
- Plot holes. There were some serious plot holes that dont add up to BVS that well. Primarily the fact that WW could fly in this and not in BVS or Justice League.

Overall:
despite its issues its a real good movie that doest deserve all the hate it gets. though by Patty Jenkins standards this could be considered a let down. Overall i enjoyed this movie and was ready to cry during the Beautiful Lie scene and Maxwell lords scene with his son.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a big fan of superhero movies and I generally like all of them. You may call me a fanboy. I can turn off my brain and I just want to watch something fun. The reason I like these movies is because superheroes have superpowers and they can perform extraordinary feats the average action movie hero can't, such as using a magical lasso to grab onto a **** lightning bolt to propel yourself into the sky. I loved that **** I've never seen something like that. That's the kind of stuff I expect from superhero movies. Diana also uses her lasso to catch a bullet and save Steve, which was also very cool.

So I'm willing to overlook things like bad writing and bad CGI if I get interesting and satisfying action scenes. Overall, I think Wonder Woman 1984 is an OK movie. But my biggest gripe with it is that it just doesn't have enough action in it. Seriously, it's two and a half hours long, we get the athletic competion and the mall robbery scenes in the beginning, and then we don't get another proper action scene until an hour later! Granted, that is the best and longest action sequence in movie. "It was well worth the wait", I told myself when I got to that scene. And the thing is, the exposition scenes before it aren't even that bad. I wasn't bored, but I just wanted more action. It's a two and a half hour long movie. The pacing gets better after that, though.

Aside from the action, I also liked the characters. I'm a big fan of Pedro Pascal and I think Maxwell was an interesting and whacky villain. I liked seeing him on the screen and he gets a bit humanized at the end. I was also a fan of the "a wish comes true, but with a negative twist" idea.

I liked Cheetah, too, but there just wasn't enough of her. Again, it's a two and a half hour long movie and we only get like two action scenes with her. And only one with her in her full form. It was one of the best action scenes, though.

Also, the Lynda Carter cameo at the end was pretty cool.

All in all, I think it's an acceptable movie. I just wanted more action. I can see why some people didn't like it, but some seem to be very uncharitable to it and determined to tear it apart.

...but if look at it from a child's point of view, from a purely emotional standpoint, then it's damn great.

If I were a 13-year-old girl this would be my favorite movie ever, so that's what I mean when I say it does what it intends to. I certainly see why it would be a let down compared to the first movie, but on its own, from kids-movie point of view it succeeds.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I start to talk about the movie, I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It was beautifully shot, the action scenes were well done, unfortunately they had some problems of which I'm going to talk about a bit later. Overall this is a decent movie with sadly, a mediocre and cliched plot. Personally I would say that you should lower your expectations, and a lot.
Now let's talk about movie's highlights and problems. Let's start with the highlights. As I said before, this movie is beautiful, and especially the opening scene in Themyscira. This scene took my breath away. It was beautifully shot, beautifully created and overall nailed its messenge about truth and greatness. I liked how movie showed Diana's loneliness. Gal Gadot's acting was very convincing and she continues embody Wonder Woman perfectly. Chris Pine did also an amazing job bringing back our beloved Steve. Kristine Wiig and Pedro Pascal were perfectly casted as the villains. I think that the third act was better than og WW's one. Cheetah's CGI was good, and it looked nothing like Cats.
Now about the flaws. In the beginning of my review, I said that the action scenes were well done, however I can't ignore the fact that they were pretty cheesy and kinda cartoonish, especially the scene in the mall, which was very disappointing since I was expecting completely different thing. I also found myself to notice a few weird cuts here and there in the action scenes. The CGI was overall great, but there were moments when it looked ridiculously terrible, like Diana's running scene. The scene flet completely out of place, and you could clearly see that it's green screen. The pacing was both bad and good. The first half was boring, stupid and too long. However, the second half fixed it with action sequences. At the end, I want to say that it is a decent movie, not good nor terrible. It had some pretty good action and emotional scenes, however it left me wanting more than I got. Here's a small summary of pros and cons: Pros

- Great cinematography, especially opening sequence in Themyscira.
- 80's feel, it really felt like a movie from the 80's. - Gal Gadot was outstanding as Wonder Woman. She continues to embody the character perfectly. - Chris Pine did an amazing job as Steve Trevor. His character was like a fish out of water, and he nailed it. - Kristine Wiig was great as Barbara and Cheeth. She nailed the transformation from loving and shy Barbara to ruthless and cold Cheetah. - Pedro Pascal was great as Max Lord, however he got too much screen time.
- Action scenes were short and there were four of them in total, but they were amazing and well choreographed. - Movie succeeded in delivering its message. Cons

- Despite CGI being great, there were some scenes where it was horrible. Especially Diana's running and flying scenes. - Plot was very mediocre, cheesy and boring. - There were a lot of cheesy moments. Action scenes had this strange cartoonish style.
- Action scenes were short, their length was about 2-3 minutes. - Emotional moments weren't convincing enough. - Too much talking during the fight scenes. - 1st half was boring, 2nd tried to fix it. - Max Lord had too much screen time, movie should've focused more on Diana. - Cheetah's hate towards Diana was never explained properly. Yeah, she wanted to be like Diana, but the end she started to hate her for no reason.
- Movie left me wanting more, which is a bad thing.

Personally I rate this movie 8/10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like most audience members I was blown away by Patty Jenkins' first Wonder Woman. Ever since we got our first glimpse of the sequel, way back in December of last year, I have been anxiously awaiting it's cinema release. Unfortunately due to it being the year 2020, I viewed the movie from the comfort of my own home curtiousy of HBO Max and now I'm here to share my impression s after only having seen the movie once. . With all that said, let's jump right into the review.

As your can tell from the giant green 8 popping off of your screens, you can come to the logical conclusion that I enjoyed this movie and that I did. Unlike my fellow reviewers who seem to have been frustrated with the lack of action throughout the film, and they are correct, the film traded that out to focus on the characters and their varying motivation s. What does Barbara want? What does Maxwell Lord want? What does Diana want? These are the questions that the film takes it's time to answer.

Which off course brings me to the return of Chris Pine as Diana's one and only love: Steve. Going into this I was afraid that they were just trying to shoehorn him in to get Pine back into it somehow. However what they managed to do instead was present him as the one thing in her life that Diana cannot let go off. His return places a serious obstacle in her heroic journey as she has to learn to accept the truth: he's gone and there's nothing she can do to change that.

In conflict with her Barbara is a nerdy girl who everyone looks past although see has a lot of good to bring to the table. She envied Diana for how strong and carefree she appears on the outside, but as a result she loses what makes her so unique among the sea of people who dwell in the world: her humanity becoming the super villain the Cheetah.

The films main antagonist, Maxwell Lord played by Peadro Pascal seems to be a charismatic and charming business man on the outside is in fact a phony who aspires to be a great corporate entity who his son can look up to. However his greed gets the better of him causing him to want to take more and more but he some realizes the truth: everything always has a cost.

In the end the film preaches that we should be careful for what we wish for, that everything has a price, and that truth prevails over lies.

The only major grip I have with this film is the occasionally forget cgi and the unnecessarily long runtime. Outside of that it is a great comic book movie that stands as one of if not the best film of the dceu.

My only complaint is that some of the visuals are mediocre. also Hans Zimmers score will instantly make any movie watchable. Teaches good morals and its refreshing to have a Super Hero movie without everyone trying to kill each other.
there really is no "Bad Guy" just 3 different people all with extremely different opinions and views. the final "Fight" scene is actually a really powerful scene where Diana is confronting Maxwell Lord and she begs him to listen to her. that's a great scene.
Kristin Wiig also does a great performance.

WW84 forgoes much of the typical action and comedy in favor of patiently progressing through a story designed to instill a moral in order to ensure that its message is more effectively delivered. This does lead to some rather humdrum pacing and a few dull stretches, but the way it actively tries to teach the audience something sort of exemplifies what makes Princess Diana so special to begin with by reaffirming her as someone we can all look up to. Hearkening back to the days when comic book heroes were people we could aspire to be like not solely for their powers and incredible adventures, but for the strength of their character as well.

Slow though it may be, there is still some spectacle to be found here. It's just of a more toned down variety that calls to mind the whimsical escapist thrills of the Golden and Silver ages of comics, rather than the bombastic and elaborate setpieces we've become accustomed to today. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't help that the majority of the running-time is also dedicated to fleshing out the cast through their detailed interactions with one another. It certainly makes for a cute little adventure with the most well-realized and developed villains in any cinematic universe to date, but my goodness is there a noticeable lack of excitement most of the time that can make it hard to stay fully engaged given its length.

Despite its lack of zest however, I remain a fan of 1984 for its throwback to the cape-and-costume tales of yesteryear nature and the titular character herself. Portrayed with such grace and charm by Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman is the beacon of hope and goodness that Superman and Captain America were supposed to be on the big-screen. Even her shiny and brightly colored new suit radiates a quality of awe-inspiring heroism that she proves isn't just skin-deep by going the extra mile and not only sparing, but REDEEMING her foes when all her counterparts in the DCEU and MCU are busy making sure every enemy they come across has no chance of returning for a sequel.

It's these qualities along with the fact that what was attempted here wasn't even a bad idea that allow me to stand beside her during this one minor misstep. This really was a well-meaning attempt to shake things up for superheroes by returning to the tone and principles found in their inception while offering a life lession in the process. A concept I would love to see revisited with more life and energy in the future, because while this love letter to the character's roots may be lacking in the expected and sometimes even the necessary amount of entertainment value, it was refreshing to see one of these films finally break away from the mold to try something different. So when all is said and done, Wonder Woman is still my girl!

I couldnt love the change in pace any more if I tried.

WW84 is a return the camp and cheese of yester years. No over the top giant cg battles, no constant bombardment of action. If you're looking for the generic formula that Marvel has invented of stupid constant action you're going to be let down so much.

This movie has all of 3 action scenes. I love it. It focus more on jokes and story telling than it does on fights. The biggest issue with the original movie is how awful the stupid cgi fight is at the end of the movie. This doesnt go for that. It's clearly harking back to the old Superman movies and a kind of 90's Batman feel. My only real complaint is the pointless opening as her as a child. Im sure its to give the casual movie viewer that extra bit of action and setup the golden suit at the end of the movie. Frankly you gain nothing from it. It could be cut completely. Really thats the only thing wrong with this movie is run time. With a little trimming it could flow and work much better. If you're looking for something wholy so UN MARVEL and UN DISNEY generic this might be for you. I base this off me hating the whole MCU as just awful movies. As a reference point I like Fox's Xmen, Sonys Spidermans and Blade. So I dont hate comic movies I just hate Disney comic movies.

I wanted to love this movie, but I just didn't. The ending was pretty good, but it's too little too late after a terribly slow paced beginning and middle.
