  I am not sure this is not the worst sequel of all time. The hype surrounding the movie touted as the best movie of the year. But, in retrospect, it fits in with the rest of the year of 2020. Lots of hype but miserable on delivery. The storyline was abysmal and the plotlines were weak from the start. Just when you thought it might actually deliver a promising plot twist, it puttered out of the gate. Really disappointed if you couldn't already tell by reading this.

  Wow, this movie was really bad. I quite liked the first movie and I am amazed how the writer(s), apparently with Patty Jenkins, in the lead managed to turn this into a boring piece of crud. The movie is just so boooooring and nonsensical. Below are my notes when watching this movie (I had to do something while watching it to not get bored out of my mind) which pretty much speaks for itself. What is it with the stupid beginning? It was just silly lecturing and did not really bring anything to the story. Those clowns pretending to be robbers. Was it supposed to be funny? Well it was not. Bad start indeed. 25% and this is boring. 40% and this is still f... boring. A guy used to fly ancient propeller planes can suddenly fly jet fighter planes. And she "forgot" about radar? Seriously? Flying straight through exploding fireworks and no one saw them nor did the engines get clogged up? And did they not have a world to save instead of sightseeing by the way? A fighter jet flying from the US to Cairo in one go? Yeah, right! Finally at 60% there is some action which is of course dragged down by this silly wish stone's impact on Wonder Woman. And here we go with the illogical emotional bullshit refusing to accept reality. My God, the bad guy is such an unintelligent and stupid jerk. No charisma whatsoever. The script is really such a juvenile piece of crud that it is unbelievable. 85% and finally some superhero action. Pretty lousy action but at least some action. Holy crap! Even the finale is boring and dragged out. This entire movie could have been condensed into a 45 minutes TV show episode, and not a very good one at that. Patty Jenkins is going on my watch list… for movies that I will avoid!

  Awful. I cannot believe how bad this movie was to watch. Leaves you with a bitter, cheated, bored feeling guaranteed. What a total waste of time. I feel complelled to write this review just so I know I've got it off my chest and can move on. When it finished my mam said."At least we don't have to ever watch that again.." and that was exactly how everyone felt. Also half way throuh we were saying when is it going to finish. Exception - The yound Diana bit was the only bit that had any relivance to the previous movie. The previous movie was quite good. I'm trying to think what else was good .. Oh and the sparkly poster is quite good, and thats always a red flag that the movie could be bad.

  Wonder Woman 84 was a love letter to the original series starring Lynda Carter. Visually appealing and just FUN... Pedro Pascal steals the show hands down. It is NOT like its predecessor or any other DC movie with Wonder Woman in it, still, it is a great ride from start to finish and a worthy sequel to the Queen of Amazons.

  **A disaster of a comic book movie with Batman + Robin level acting and writing and a far cry from its outstanding predecessor.** What happened?! How did the same director and same cast return from the first movie and make a wildly different quality film? The first Wonder Woman was so powerful, inspiring, and strong. But this sequel was a mess of Batman & Robin-level cheesiness and awful writing. The Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor romance while Steve highjacked a random guy’s body was icky and awkward. Max Lord was way too over the top, and while Kristen Wiig had some good moments, her character was poorly written, and the CGI was atrocious. The effects for the entire film were subpar. How could Warner Bros see this and think it was ready to release? Even the writing for Wonder Woman herself left the character mopey and selfish, which was a significant fall from the incredible writing and performance Gal Gadot gave us in the first one. Wonder Woman 1984 was a massive disappointment that probably killed the franchise and forced a reboot.

  "Wonder Woman" was a groundbreaking film that revitalized the DC universe and reignited excitement for the Justice League. Gal Gadot's portrayal of Wonder Woman, while criticized for her acting skills, was visually captivating and suited the role perfectly. The film's World War I setting and character interactions added depth to the storyline, with quick wit enhancing the overall experience. The fight scenes were exhilarating, showcasing Wonder Woman's badass persona and making the movie a must-watch despite any shortcomings in acting. On the other hand, "Wonder Woman 1984" failed to live up to its predecessor, delivering a disjointed and disappointing sequel that veered off course from the established DC universe. The film's messy plot, lackluster excitement, and underdeveloped villain undermined the legacy created by the first movie. Director Patty Jenkins' handling of the story and character arcs fell short, leaving viewers with a subpar viewing experience marred by excessive CGI and a lack of substance. Ultimately, "Wonder Woman 1984" was deemed a misstep in the Wonder Woman franchise, failing to capture the magic of the original film and disappointing fans with its lackluster execution. The film's flaws overshadowed any potential it may have had, leaving audiences longing for a more cohesive and engaging continuation of Wonder Woman's story.
