They had better think carefully about who they get to make Part 3. The production values are fine - it is a big budget movie. The cast is good but they can't save a bad story. Kristen Wiig has a remarkable transformation and her character is quite interesting. Pedro Pascal of Narcos is the villain here and he looks quite different - good that he has a big movie role.ģ. Gal Gadot is watchable and likeable - she could read the phone book and it would be watchable.Ģ. From the overlong competition in the beginning, almost every scene could have been trimmed by a quarter.ġ. Many scenes could have been cut in half to keep the momentum going. And things really fizzle out at the climax.Ģ. Even a 1984 movie wouldn't have such a simplistic premise. This silly "wish" premise is weak and wears thin very fast. It's 80% bad with some redeeming qualities here and there.ġ. It isn't the worst action hero movie ever. Seriously, skip this and watch the first movie. This movie was so bad that I walked out of my own house. The stone wasn't crumbling with every wish, so why was he getting sick after granting wishes even though he became the stone? None of this lunacy made any sense whatsoever. What was the point of her wearing it then if she was back at full strength? Max Lord's character was laughable. So, because the script says so, Diana can make things disappear at will? She can swing from lighting with her lariat? She can block and catch bullets with her lariat? She can attach and swing from airplanes that are at cruising altitude while she's on the ground?! All of these exaggerated abilities while she's supposedly losing her powers? Another thing, her suit was supposed to be powerful, yet it crumbled like tinfoil during her five minute fight with Cheetah. Seriously, what were they thinking with this script? So many talented actors and so much wasted potential. It's like a train wreck and a dumpster fire had a baby, then the baby puked and that puke became this movie. That being said, this was a disappointing convoluted mess. 3.5/10, rounded down to 3 for Gadot's lousy performance: she's a beautiful woman with a great pair of legs (still no match for Lynda Carter, though), but she really isn't much of an actress.įirst off, I loved the first movie and was looking forward to the sequel. Good job they introduced that idea earlier in the film. And as if all that wasn't terrible enough, the sickening saccharine finalé involves Wonder Woman using her lasso (now normal length) to SHOW the bad guy the truth. What's next? Lassoing ideas and dreams? Kristen Wiig transforming into Bombalurina from Cats. Wonder Woman lassoing a passenger jet (just how long is that lasso anyway?), followed by her lassoing a cloud and a lightning bolt. Some dumb Egyptian kids playing football in the middle of a road despite being surrounded by miles and miles of desert perfect for a kickabout. Wonder Woman doing a quick change into her costume in a moving car. Also, they fly the plane very slowly through some fireworks. Steve being able to fly a fully-fuelled jet fighter, stored at the Smithsonian, without any prior knowledge (with Wonder Woman managing to turn the plane invisible-turns out she's David bloody Copperfield!). Steve mistaking a trash can for a piece of modern art. There are so many bad scenes in the film that listing them all would take an age, but here's some of my 'favourites': Resurrected WW2 pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) doing a 'Pretty Woman' by trying on a range of 'hilarious' '80s fashion. The ridiculous plot revolves around a mythical stone (created by Dolos, the god of mischief) that can grant the holder a single wish, and which falls into the hands of an unscrupulous wannabe oil baron, but incredibly, it's not this singular lame idea that ruins the movie, but rather the countless idiotic things that happen throughout. trickster god Dolos seems to have pulled another fast one: WW84 is one terrible scene after another, a film destined for a cult following perhaps, purely because it is so awful. Well, they've got the bigger sequel they wanted, but better? Nope. After the success of Wonder Woman (2017), I expect a lot of DC fans (and Gal Gadot fans) were wishing for a bigger and even better sequel for the beautiful Amazonian princess.
