Wonder Woman 1984


First off, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this movie.


People just have this prejudiced notion that a comic book adaption should be an action scenes fest all through which explains why a lot of people have issues with Joaquin Phoenix "Joker".





3.3/4 for me.


See this one.

Joker had better ratings (imdb) than both wonderwoman movies with lesser action than both movies. Joker also earned more money at the box office and had better awards.

Unless you are talking about your razz mushin friends, people did not have a problem with the lack of action in the joker.


Now, wonderwoman 1984 has more than just a lack of action as a problem.

1. There was no punishment for the villain who caused untold global havoc.

2. The logic of the wishes was not consistent..The villain's son originally wished for the father to be closer to him and it didn't come true at that moment. The villain wished to be the wishing stone. But the wishing stone did not gain or lose any powers after a wish.

3. The villain's motivation made no sense. He was a con man that wanted to be big in oil. He didn't need to start becoming a global wish master tyrant after making it in oil.

4. The sappy romance- the way the movie ended as if it was a Disney children's movie with everyone being happy at a snowy Christmas (despite worldwide chaos days before). The fake coincidence of meeting Steve Trevor's body vessel at the end.

5. The pacing of the film. The first wonderwoman was linear and easy to follow with the action increasingly ramped up. This movie was slow at times and was not as tightly fit.


So much more.

Unless you are a better reviewer than most movie reviewers, ww1984 has many problems

This is a comic book adaption FFS, you take what you see.
In a movie where the protagonist can make a jet invisible, use a rope to ride thunderstorm and the antagonist can grant wishes, you are analysing consistency as if this is real life.
If you want realistic plots, go and watch drama.


And about majority of other movie reviewers thrashing the movie, this is 2020, where herd mentality is the rule of the day.
Nobody wants to have a differing opinion from the crowd so as not to get panned.


WW 84 does it for me.

Internal logic. You can have people firing lasers from their eyes but that logic must be consistent. They can't wake the next day and start firing water from the eyes.

You are wrong.

The movie was released on HBO max on Christmas day. That is why people could get pirated HD versions.

Lol. I swear. I saw it too.



Meanwhile WW1984.

Dont see what the hate is all about. I found the film entertaining. rewatchable film maybe but definitely not as bad as it's being painted.


Didnt like the flying part though ( common leave that to clark ).

Cheetah wasnt well utilized to me


I think the focus was more on wonder woman as a person than an action movie.

8.0/10.


Lol, she flies on a normal grin she was supposed to even be flying before she left themiscyra but Jenkins wanted to use it as part of her character development and it worked for me...the movie did well in that aspect all the villains were very relatable, they could be anyone

Maxwell lost every single thing he acquired in one single moment, Barbara too..I get you wanting the law to take it's course but karma was their biggest law here and the movie needed to leave the door open for them for future projects..it's a no brainer as they are both talented actors playing Major characters

3. The villain's motivation made no sense. He was a con man that wanted to be big in oil. He didn't need to start becoming a global wish master tyrant after making it in oil.

This one is just a blatant lie, anyone with ambition would have wished the same thing..why would you stop at just oil knowing all you know about the stone(due to his years of research) and about how it takes as it gives? That would be just dumb

4. The sappy romance- the way the movie ended as if it was a Disney children's movie with everyone being happy at a snowy Christmas (despite worldwide chaos days before). The fake coincidence of meeting Steve Trevor's body vessel at the end.

5. The pacing of the film. The first wonderwoman was linear and easy to follow with the action increasingly ramped up. This movie was slow at times and was not as tightly fit.

This part (especially the action) is where il agree with you, the pacing wasn't all that bad but when you're expecting action scenes here and there and you don't get it you tend to feel like the pacing is wrong a d I understand that but it's not enough to call the movie trash

They get mind as they didn't go the Disney/Mavel Route. I'm guessing they'll take the Box office loss but in New Subscribers... they will probably lose more than $3 billion over the next yr. They must really believe in HBO MAX and I hope it works for them

What Karma? Everyone lost what they gained originally with the wish they made- which means that the villain didnt have any real comeuppance since he suffered the same fate as everyone. And can you actually lose what was never truly yours?

The villain who is a conman didnt get any repercussions for his deceitfulness. The villain who in theory still has access to the wish-stone. If he renounces his wish, then the wish-stone comes back into existence.

The son wished his father to be with him and it happened, even part of the reason why he was forced to denounce his own wish...and wtf do you mean by the wishing stone did not gain or lose any powers after a wish? Didn't you watch the part where him as the wishing stone kept on bleeding from the exertion?

The son made the wish in the middle of the film. It didnt happen until the end of the film. This is unlike every other wish that was instantaneous.

The wish-stone itself does not suffer consequences for granting wishes. When the villain became the wish-stone, he shouldnt have had any consequences.

pu7pl3:

This one is just a blatant lie, anyone with ambition would have wished the same thing..why would you stop at just oil knowing all you know about the stone(due to his years of research) and about how it takes as it gives? That would be just dumb

False. A con man knows when to end the con. He stated that he wanted to be number 1 in oil and wanted his son to be proud of him. There was no reason for him to create further chaos. His office was already too chaotic for him.

pu7pl3:

The romance and the emotional parts were the biggest strengths of the movie alongside Pascal's incredible MVP acting...there is no gripe here..the part where she met Steve's body double wasn't fake as it was already established during the movie that they lived close actually

There is romance and there is disney romance. Furthermore, wonderwoman has a dry pussy. She couldnt find another man for over 35 years since WW2. Steve Trevor was the only guy that could satisfy her lol......wetin happen to superman's super penis.

The ending was quite silly. The positive christmas spirit when there was chaos days before lol.

I can agree that the romance was the biggest strenght of the movie, it was also too much.



pu7pl3:

This part (especially the action) is where il agree with you, the pacing wasn't all that bad but when you're expecting action scenes here and there and you don't get it you tend to feel like the pacing is wrong a d I understand that but it's not enough to call the movie trash

Pacing and action are different things. The pacing was off. There were slow downs in certain scenes.

The action too was a bit too little. How can one have so much power only not to use it? The Joker can get away with little action because no one has superpowers in the movie. But wonderwoman has many powers- lasso of truth, super-strenght, super durability, healing factor, power bracelets, atheleticism etc.

Tbh there is nothing more, there really is nothing wrong with that movie apart from your number 5 point to an extent...

There is still more-
1. Unnecessary wokeness- as usual, all the men in the movie are assholes except steve trevor (the actress's bae). Toxic feminism
2. Unnecessarily remixing Cheetah's origin story
3. Weak soundtrack. I was expecting so many old school beats from 1980-1990. See stranger things, Anna and Atomic blonde.
4. How did Steve Trevor get his watch back (because he gave it to wonderwoman when they first met again

This is why Nigeria cannot move forward.

Nigerians cannot remove clear bias from their thinking.

Out of spite our reviewers here are giving wonderwoman 1984 ratings of 8/10 and 9/10

When all the professional film critics and even audience reviews generally give it a 6/10 due to it being short of the hype.


The movie is just like alexistaiwo's manhood;
Weak action
Simping to women
rushed climax
