Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

The 80s are back, for better or worse, and so is Wonder Woman in this kind of corny sequel to her monstrous hit. Here, a magic wish-granting stone with a price is the McGuffin here, and Max Lord wants only ultimate power! Cheetah, meanwhile, wants to be an apex predator while WW/Diana wants Steve back. What follows is a whole lot of wishes, some flight, silly battles against muscle and nature, and a script that flip flops everywhere towards its meh conclusion. While Wonder Woman 1 was OK, this time she falls off her horse. The poster is glitz and glamour, and gold is nice, but this film is cheap, shlockey and sad. 4/10.

3.6/10.One sad thing here is Kristen Wiig, they should've gotten Judy Greer, seems to put out the best effort.Personally I think she took it out of desperation after the disaster that was Ghostbusters 2016.Gal Gadot's performance remains as bland as before only now she's a producer which I disagree with as most actors haven't a clue about directing, writing, or producing anything.The plot, what plot?Nothing more than griping about the 80's supposed culture of greed here. Pedro Pascal who matches Gadot in blandness,p;ays the cliched greedy businessman.Chris Pine's brought back for really no reason, still being the wuss he was in the last one.Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright are back as they probably got a 3 picture deal, add nothing though thankfully not as much screen time as before.Lynda Carter surprised me in the sense that I thought she'd play the President, not some bit part as an Amazon.Then there's Kristen Wiig, oh boy do I hate this walking cliched stereotype.Nerdy, insecure woman who just wants to be hot then goes all psycho once she obtains it, She also goes back regular by the end, ripping off Amazing Spider-Man's Lizard, far superior character in both comics and movie.I at least admit they were smart on three things:1.The design of Cheetah, pretty good.2.Kristen Wiig is pretty, no denying that, best part of this clunker.3.Bringing back the Amazons for the beginning.I'm sure all those teenage and 20 something guys who make these blockbusters possible thank them too.That all said it's still annoying, preachy, sloppy written, and pretentious.I admit to being wrong about Kristen Wiig, best part of the movie here.I still plan on obtaining it on DVD in several months to join my collection of "So Bad They're Good To Watch And Laugh At Movies."What annoyed me here was how much they ripped off:1.Amazing Spider-Man:Scientist becomes half animal monster.2.Amazing Spider-Man 2:Nerdy brief friend becomes villain,3.Who Censored Roger Rabbit:Wishes come at a price only a stone here instead of a magic lantern.4.Frankenstein:Monster starts out good,goes bad.4.Lord Of The Rings:Magical object corrupts a person's mind.5.Aqua-Man:Flashback of hero quite young in training.Then the big one.The Dark Knight Rises.Just where the heck do these overpaid dolts,Jenkins and Gadot,get off on lecturing the rest of us on greed?.Gadot works as both and a producer here making 10 million,far more than what any actor should ever get.I would claim to be surprised but I'm not.This whole thing was just anti American as its predecessor,more anti male here and also anti President Trump.Those of us with sense will laugh at them all day and night long.Patty Jenkins may be one of the most overrated directors of today.
