    One of the few good DCEU films was WW1. Definitely looking forward to this. I was hoping to see it at the IMAX this year then 2020 went Full Frank Intervention Episode and the rest is history.

    A lot of times, a great comic book movie is only as great as the villain(s). I think too much focus was spent on Maxwell Lord being the villain when it should have been Cheetah. They messed up that character and choosing Kristen Wiig for that role reminded me of when Topher Grace was chosen for Venom. Not that they can’t act, but it’s just that these aren’t the right roles for them. The other thing is, it was sold as an 80’s nostalgia film, but outside of the cheesy beginning, it didn’t really feel like it was set in the 80’s. The easy way to show the 80’s is to follow the Stranger Things formula and just do references but for a movie like this, they needed to spend more time setting the tone and atmosphere. They just used that cheesy intro in the mall to proclaim “Look it’s 80’s s---!” I think way too much time was spent doing Gal Gadot glamour shots. She needed to get down in the dirt. Definitely disappointing especially after a dope first film.

    Also, how did Max have an Asian kid? I know he probably smashed an Asian woman, but I don’t think they ever showed her, just mentioned her? You can’t just spring an Asian son on a Latino like that. Make it make sense on screen.

    If you didn't like the first one you're going to hate this more than the average person. I went into the 1st one thinking I wouldn't like it and thought it was great. The storyline in this one sucks and so do the "bad guys"

    Outside of the cheesy mall sequence in the beginning, it really didn’t feel like a movie set in the 80’s. It feels like they were really just using the 80’s for marketing and because 80’s nostalgia is popular. But there was no real attempt made to make a meaningful connection to the 80’s.

    yup. I actually went into the first one thinking it would be terrible and was blown away by how good it was. This was straight garbage. How do you make a nostalgic 80s film s-----y

    For the record the first one was probably the best DC movie since the Dark Knight Rises, so it def had set the bar for her future movies

    So Wonder Woman 1984 is finally coming out soon and reviews are coming out for it and they are great. It’s currently at a 89% on RT. Are you excited for this? I am. I love me some Wonder Woman & Gal Gadot.
