I just watched this with my parents for Christmas. I'm giving it 3 stars because my dad somehow managed to sit through the whole thing without leaving. If it had been any worse he would've left. But this is bad. So so bad. 3 stars is generous. The whole time we were either sitting there saying "we are so bored" or saying "this is so dumb"
What happened?! Who wrote this?! The first movie was SO good. It was magical. Refreshing. New. Rewatchable. Inspiring.
This sequel however, was the complete opposite. An absolute SLOG to get through. Almost nothing in this movie worked. Romance was stale. Humor unfunny. Villains laughable. Stunt work terrible. Writing cliche and predictable. Plot holes galore.
This sequel definitely felt like a DCEU movie. While they waited to release this in theaters...COULDN'T THEY HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO WORK ON THE CGI SOME MORE? God this CGI was a mess. The battle between Wonder Woman and Cheetah was hard to watch.
Patty Jenkins really blew it on this one. The first one must have been just luck because she completely wasted 4 talented actors and a huge budget on this.
The only positives I have for this are:
The negatives:
Ugh this movie is aggravating. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Just watch the first movie again or watch something else entirely.

The only positives I have for this are:
- Gal Gadot
- Chris Pine
- Pedro Pascal
- Kristen Wiig
- the underlying themes
- SOME of the costuming
The negatives:
- Dialogue (so horrendously bad)
- characterization
- SO PREDICTABLE
- cheesy
- unfunny
- CGI
- stunt work
- music (sorry Hans Zimmer but this soundtrack was LAZY yikes)
- bad pacing
- too long
- too many villains (they should have cut cheetah or made her the main villain)
Ugh this movie is aggravating. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Just watch the first movie again or watch something else entirely.
