Review of Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) by Kirkender — 26 Dec 2020
WW84 is real bad. It's overly long, super boring, and just utter nonsense. The plot revolves around *wishes* which makes the stakes super ambiguous and ridiculous. The 80's setting is largely wasted by being completely politically inert and quite regressive considering the potential of a character that is Wonder Woman.
She spends the entire film just wanting to be with her dead boyfriend and is the least impactful character in her own film. This stinks of garbage old white producers refusing to allow a woman superhero movie to actually be about something or try to say something.
Pedro Pascal is fun, and hams it up in every scene, but his villainous motivation is completely stupid. DC movies are all pretty bad, and this one stings harsher after the first WW being mostly okay. It's 2 hours 30 minutes and it drags every second.
The CGI is really lackluster and the potential of Kristen Wiig's Cheetah is completely wasted. Actually, wasted potential is the perfect way to describe WW84 overall.
