The first one was fun and well played out. This sequel is a total misfire. Not because it follows the trend of having women being the alpha characters and portraying men as either weak or stupid, but simply because it's a lazy effort. Except a couple of scenes, and hilarious over-the-top acting by Pedro Pascal, I found nothing here. It has "straight-to-DVD" written all over it.

Too long, too slow. Quite uninteresting. An absolute ton of plot holes. DC destroy another movie. Did Gal Gadot forget how to act? Don't waste your time.

The first film is outstanding, it's exciting, it's fun, and apart from looking amazing, it has depth.

The problem here, it's so slow, and goes on forever and a day, did anything actually happen in the first ninety minutes? There was absolutely no action.

Chris Pine felt wrong here somehow, eye candy only, Gal Gadot, I thought she was pretty good, the shining light here, I just felt like she was battling against a miserable script. You could almost sense that she knew the script was no good.

The Villains were generally inept.

I won't be watching again, 3/10.

For me this was unwatchable really good actors who let the director turn this franchise into a joke

I saw the first Wonder Women and kind of enjoyed it, even though I didn't grow up knowing the WW canon. But it was a fun film that played with the fish-out-of-water aspect. But this - WW1984 - what in the hell was this? Again, I don't know that much Womder Woman history, but this seemed like a huge conglomeration of crazy story line, special effects, philosophical ramblings... it was a total mess.

Gal Gadot and Chris Pine are pleasant, appealing actors, and certainly pleasant to look at. And Kristin Wiig had a great role that I'm sure she had fun with. But overall, this was just a total mess of a movie. And Pedro Pascal...I can't figure out if he was great, or just did one of the most over the top performances in recent memory.

WW84 is entertaining, but unfortunately not as good as other DC films (or generally films of the superhero genre).

Storyline: Set in 1984, Wonder Woman tries to save the world once again from an unlikely enemy while she still seems to be thinking about Chris Pine.

Runtime stands at 2,5h which is too long but the pace of the film is good.

CGI is good throughout the movie and most the action scenes are well made. There's a bunch of great outtakes as well.

The cast is interesting-Pedro Pascal's overacting is a highlight- and Gal Gadot is stunning once again. Kirsten Wiig is also a good addition to the film, but the development of her character could have been more in depth so we can see her transformation being more justified.

On the contrary, the character of Pedro Pascal is well developed and I was impressed by the tension that he adds in the entire film. I was happy to see him switching between drama and comedy and many points go to him for keeping the film's pace interesting.

But the film lacks a strong villain and the performance of Gal was a bit dry.

Overall, it's a fun Sunday afternoon superhero flick which should have been 30 min shorter.

6,9/10.

The new supporting character get waaaaay too much screen time.

It doesn't seem like a WW movie to me. This movie should be called, "Maxwell Lord".

Also, why does Kristen's character, Cheetah, hate/resent Diana so much? Weird. Diana never did anything to her except be her friend.

This movie would've been better if Gal had more screen time. It's always annoying when a sequel focuses less on the original characters. That's one of many reasons why sequels are disappointing...

Damn. Y'all really need to chill. The movie is still based on a comic, so let the cheesy be cheesy. Speaking of cheesy, everyone keeps talking about the cheesy ness in the beginning with the mall heist and what not. But my high a** saw it as "oh cool! 80's movies were so like that" cheesy! It felt intentional?? Also, I feel like It's telling you in the simplest terms, flat out what greed gets ya! No? Anywho. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. Take a chill pill and stop digging too much and just enjoy a darn movie. #girlpower #happyholidays

Don't listen to the people giving this film a 1 or a 2. At that point the film would be unmatchable.

You also shouldn't listen to those giving this a 10. It isn't perfect.

For me the movie is right around a 7. I enjoyed it a good amount but it wasn't spectacular or worthy of anything higher than that.

Here are a few things people keep bringing up:

CGI: People keep ragging the cgi. Overall, the cgi is NOT bad. The visuals in this film are actually very good. I will say there are a few moments where the cgi could have been done better, but I'm not going to nitpick and say the entire movie looks bad.

Score: The score is great. It's Hans Zimmer. He does use someone else's score at a crucial moment in the film, but it has been used in many different movies and is fitting here.

Acting: The acting overall is very good and you're just hating if you say otherwise. You can argue that the story isn't the best, but I had no problem with the acting whatsoever. Gal kills it yet again as Wonder Woman as does Chris Pine as Steve. Pedro Pascal offers a great performance as the lead villain of the film. My favorite performance of the film was actually Kristen Wiig who I was worried about before since she's usually a comedic actor, but I was thoroughly impressed with her.

Plot: The plot to me was the downfall of this film. It had visuals, acting, music, but the plot felt a little off to me. I was scratching my head at certain points of the movie, but overall it made sense and I had no problem with it. It's a fun superhero movie that you aren't meant to take super seriously.

I loved the first Wonder Woman and was anticipating for the sequel to be great as well since it was also directed by Patty Jenkins. Unfortunately this was just okay. Gal Gadot delivers the energy that Wonder Woman has very well which is why she is perfect for the role. The visuals in this movie are nice. But the action scenes were the best parts of the movie, which leads into my flaws. There are hardly any action scenes in the movie. The first 17 mins are action-packed and then leads to slow and unnecessary exposition over an artifact that grants wishes. Pedro Pascal was okay but I thought his villainous role was a huge miscast. I found him annoying and comical. Kristen Wiig's role as Cheetah was okay as well but I found her character to be a trope as a DC villain (nerd turned into villain). Also an hour and a half later it's just more lazy storytelling with great visuals and well shot and choreographed fight scenes. I also never bought the 80's vibe that it brought because it didn't feel like an 80's movie, it was just telling us that it's set in 1984 because of the fashion, technology, and cars. There are rarely any references to the 80's other than those 3 categories. I didn't hate WW84 but the writing could have been much better. 6/10; C+

Why is Warner Brothers hell bent on destroying a potential gold mine, that is the DC franchise. I thought they had finally sorted it with WW and Aquaman. But no, normality resumes. This movie was terrible at everything. Story, dialogue, acting, cgi. Just sell the franchise to another studio and give us DC fans a break

The 1st WW film was absolutely brilliant and had more ticks than a farmer's dog in my book. WW84 is, which truly saddens and maddens me, the polar opposite. It has a script so weak it should be classed as highly vulnerable, a plot that has more holes than my kitchen colander, and characters about as believable as a career politician. I did love the opening island scene where the girl actress playing the young Diana was superb, and apparently did all her non-cgi stunts. But then it went downhill faster than an illiterate skier passing a 'Warning - cliff ahead' sign. I won't go into detail over WW84s failings as I have a bus to catch...in a week, but I think I can reveal my favourite, jaw-dropping line from the film without it being a spoiler...

'... I want to be an apex predator!'

It certainly made me growl.
