Review of Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) by Cajun67 — 25 Dec 2020
First the good. Pedro Pascal, Kristen Wiig, and Chris Pine are wonderful and really carry the movie. There are some really cool fight sequences, and Gal Gadot is great as Wonder Woman.
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.
