Wonder Woman 1984 Official Thread **SPOILERS**

Just waiting for HBO Max to upload it.
Short review:
I think it’s solid, but absolutely would have worked better as a 4-5 episode mini series. Lot of thread points that were good but had to be rushed through and the main villain was essentially a emotional/moral challenge and not a physical one. Kristen Wiig should be a superstar already. She’s too old and likable, but she would have made a great Carol Danvers. Really interested to see how Patty Jenkins does working with Rogue Squadron, being that it’s a passion project for her.

Why do you always have to be the first one for the spoilers threads?

Bump, firing it up now

It was cool.
Couldve had better villains.

I thought it was a decent movie. Not a whole lot of rewatch value, though. As someone who ALWAYS preferred DC characters over Marvel characters, I am saddened that DC movies are so far behind the Marvel movies.
Three things:
1.) What did Kristen Wiig's character give up?
2.) A movie set in 1984 and not ONE GODDAMN 80s SONG in the whole movie? WTF?
3.) I forgave the makers for the above omission because of the mid-credits scene.

Halfway in and this is supposed to be an action movie right??

I enjoyed it. Not as good as the first one, but I'm pleased with it. I agree with others who said it needed an actual villain. Was a little odd.

Just started it. Going to shut the phone off till it's over, but holy frick I'm 20 seconds in and there is horrible CGI.

So, the guy throws the works into chaos, but he takes back his wish and there are no consequences. Also, why is his son Asian? How, did Kristen Wiig get an extra wish?

47min in and this movie sucks.

Man this movie is bad holy shite

Very Chris Reeves Superman sequel vibe.
The wishes and Duke of Deception stuff is right out of the sillier Golden Age Wonder Woman era.
Too much forced into this. The Asteria armor, Cheetah, invisible jet (though the invisibility being the same source as Paradise Island’s cloak of invisibility was a good take).
Post credits scene was a nice touch.

I liked it, not as good as the first, but still a solid flick.
As good as Aquaman.

I don't know...
I thought it was a fine movie.
There was some CGI stuff I didn't care for with the girl fight but overall it wasn't bad.
It's setting made it so the whole world could go to shite without a superman or batman to fix things.
It also erased a ton in the moment so her story wouldn't be so well known in the present.
It was just a story of the monkey's paw, with a superhero as the background. It also gives wonderwoman more back story on being right up there with Superman as a friggin boy/girl scout.
Learning who she is and the sacrifice it takes in her place of power.
Obviously the next time we see her is popping out of nowhere to help fight doomsday so it's just giving a little backstory.
It didn't have to be some big boss fight film. It didn't have to have the weight of the rest of the DC team. All of the characters had flaws and a reasonable inspiration for their decisions.
Now, I will say there was a lot of disbelief in some character attributes.
I.e. Steve knowing how to fly a plane 60 years in advancement.
Cheetah being able to go toe to toe with a warrior bred for it.
Some wishes taking a little more time to happen while the more life threatening were immediate.
But that's comic book stuff.
I put this movie on par with Iron Man 2.
Not as much fun, but advanced the character enough

Lots of little details either the script didn’t care about or the editing let down. Just two early on that took me out of the movie-
Opening amazon competition. One lady falls off the pedestals. They literally all reach the horses (except Diana) at the same time and no leftover horse for a person either no longer competing or delayed.
Mall robbery - why are the mall cops looking at the black guy and guy with the white hair spiked? By the time a gun was seen they had already walked away. No way for anyone to know they were bad guys let’s alone mall cops just stumbling into it.
Yes small things but there are other items like this that just show some real lazy writing or editing.
Overall it’s not a bad movie but small things take away from the experience and your ability to lose yourself in it

I have a feeling people are trying to find reasons to like this - and I just can’t figure out why. It was just . . . not very good - actually stupid in all kind of ways.

Excellent film.
I know the saps around here are wowed by the explosions and juvenile humor from the flicks that marvel makes. They are fanboys that buy up all the dolls and leave them in their packaging to retain its value. Get all hopped up on Mountain Dew and then go crazy while iron man blows up a building while cracking wise.
They cannot appreciate the depth that DC puts into its films. not surprising but still disappointing.

Gadot is absolutely beautiful but wow is she a terrible actress. The movie was a huge letdown for me after really enjoying the first one. It was right to go direct to streaming.

I laugh at people who thought that WW was a good movie. That movie sucked at nearly every level and it sounds like this one does, too, but people are no longer quite so hungry for anything to be excited about with DC.
