Wonder Woman 84 - mixed opinions
24 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
So, here we are after months and months of delays DC finally relased the highly anticipated WW84, and it is... well... cool. My opinions about the movie are mixed so I will seperate them into 3 categories.

1. Good:
  • Gal Gadot - she is a GODESS, i repeat GODESS! Excelent as Wonder Woman, full of emotion, extremely likable understood the character and did a great job just like in the first movie, maybe even better
  • Pedro Pascal - I just want more of him! Altough his character wasn't developed that much, Maxwell Lord, and is a bit of a predictible personality you can still see he is having a blast playing him and is so entertaining.
  • The visuals - a really beautifull movie to look at ( fireworks scene ), definetly worth seeing it in a theater
  • Story and message - it kind of felt like a Disney movie with is main theme of "nothing good is born from lies" and it's vibrant characters and looks, the pogression of the story is solid and preety interesting, altough it starts slow trying to explain and tell a lot of exposioson about the past and the present, but the second act picks up the pace and it is way more entertaining and action filled than the first act.
  • Chris Pine - loveable as Steve and a nice character
  • Fight scenes - great and really well done ( Mall robbery being the best ) and again. Gal Gadot shows a lot of emotion in them


2. Mixed:

  • Kristen Wiig- after the first act i kind of started hating on her character Barbara, which was likeable, with all of the cliche villian tropes she was taking, and when Chettah shows up for a 2 minute fight at the climax her looks reminded me of 2019s "Cats" and was a bit cringy
  • Writing - some moments could have been less chessy and could have been written more deeply than they were ( scene where Diana says goodbye to Steve was short and was not that emotinal in terms of dialouge and the reunion of Lord and his son also felt so fast and not that emotinoal )
  • Pacing - sometimes a bit slow, sometimes a bit fast, not good, not bad


3. Bad:

  • CGI and green screen - at some moments despite looking fabolus you can clearly, i mean clearly see the green screen moving ( every close up of WW running is awfuly done ) and the CGI being absolutly ridiculous ( Cheetah again ) which sometimes ruins the good moments in the movie
  • Logic - I may be nitpicking but some of the moments really do not feel well explained. Like how does Steve now how to drive a modern airplane, why is he brought back in another persons boddy, modern looking g63 jeeps pulled me from the 80s vibe of the film, for some reason she can fly all of a sudden, and sprint with heavy objects and trucks even though she was supposed to loose powers?... these are just some and there is more
  • Timeline - so people won't understand Suprerman in Man of Steel because of his alien powers but almost every single person acording to WW could wish an extremly powerful weapon or to start another war or kill someone or become rich or kill a race or... i think you get it
  • Opening sequence - In my opinion, enjoyable but wasn't really necsesary at all since the first movie explained everything about Dianas childhood
  • Third act - It's what bogged down the first movie from being amazing and here it's just soo dumb with Lord getting to grant everybodys wishes from a secret telepot which teleports his body to every one.. yeah I am confused, to a cringy cheetah fight and a cringy Hallmark ending... 😑


At the end, WW84 while flawed and unlogical is still an enjoyable movie with enough action and heart to make it entertaining to watch. I think that it could have been better like the trailers showed, but sadly it was not.

5.5/10 for me
