Please take a look at Gmajor's and kehinde2017's reviews.

Their reviews show thought and analysis of facts.

Gmajor:
Wonder Woman ‘84
WARNING: this post is long. Though I will try to highlight some of the main points so that lazy people like me can read it at a glance.

Wonder woman 1984 is a 2020 sequel to the 2017 Wonder Woman that was directed, co-written and co-produced by Patty Jenkins.
The movie was competently shot and the CGI is mostly good, though some scenes in the Amazon Olympics and the Egypt chase sequence didn’t look too good.

I liked Chris Pine in this movie. The whole fish out of water stuff they did with him were well handled and they didn’t take it to a point where it became annoying.

The[b]acting was good IMO[/b] , even though some people say that Gal Gadots acting leaves a lot to be desired.

The fight and action scenes where just there- Not too bad but not to good either. The WW vs Cheetah fight was 70 percent swinging around which I didn’t care much for. I would have preferred more hand to hand combat. As a matter of fact, there is an animated WW vs Cheetah fight I watched sometime ago which was way better than the one in the movie. If I find it on YouTube, I will insert it HERE.

Even though it felt kinda random, I like that WW is able to make things invisible instead of the comic canon where she has an invisible jet. Why the Bleep would the Amazonians who are technologically backwards in every facet of life have a jet plane lying around? Whether knowledge of flying a World War 1 plane can be used to fly a jet plane some 60+ years later is still a matter that is open for debate.

I was enjoying this movie when I started watching it, however, as the movie progressed, I found it to be increasingly silly, and when the movie ended on a very ret@rded note, it ended up soaring some of the things I had liked in the beginning. So, here are some of the issues I have with the movie. Some of them are nit-picks and quite minors, while others are major and quite immersion breaking.

1. Why is this movie set in the 80’s : at the end of this movie, I still couldn’t quite figure out why this movie was set in the 80’s. This time period added nothing to the story except from breaking some of the already established continuity such as the fact that WW refused to offer help to humanity before BVS and also that she could fly. This movie could have been set after BVS or Justice League and it would not have affected the story in any way.
2. The amazon Olympics was pointless: and just served to further pad the run time. The first WW movie started with Diana as a child in Theymiscira so why did they choose to rethread this route again? The whole Olympics didn’t factor into the story in anyway. Initially I thought that the lesson the Amazonian guard thought Diana about not taking short cuts would factor into the plot, but no. the whole movie plays out like that scene never happened. So why was it in the movie?
3. Campy mall fight: the whole mall fight was extremely campy like something you would see in a Spiderman movie. Considering the tone of the first movie, I didn’t expect this level of camp from the sequel.
4. Rapist wonder woman: I think that the whole WW is a rapist argument is bullsh1t. Though the decision to bring Chris Pine back in the body of another man was very questionable. The stone has proven time and time again that it can make anything materialize from nothing, so why couldn’t Chris Pine come back in his own body? And the worst part is that they didn’t even do anything with the whole coming backing in another person’s body shenanigans. It was just a random stupid choice that was made for no reason.
5. Dumb McGuffin: the McGuffin that gets the plot moving in this movie is not properly handled. The dream stone is supposed to be a monkey’s paw rip-off that grants you your wish with a dash of irony like the Midas touch or somethings like that. However, this stone has zero consequences. People use the dream stone, then renounce their wish and then there is no lasting consequence. If you can renounce your wish and go back to the way you were with no consequences, then it makes perfect sense to use the dream stone. Even if I have to pay a price that I don’t like, I would simply take back the wish at my leisure.
6. Villain’s motivation: Max Lord, the villain of the movie is a shady business man who goes on a wish granting spree because he is motivated by greed. However, it makes absolutely no sense that he keeps on granting more and more wishes even though he clearly see that the world is getting destroyed. How enjoyable does he think his wealth and power will be when the whole world is in ruins? And it is never shown that the magical McGuffin is somehow influencing his decisions.
And to make matters worse, the wish granting debacle is taken to a whole new ridiculous level at the third act of the movie. In a shocking lack of introspection or self-awareness, Max Lord decides that he is going to grant to wish of millions at once. This could have gone wrong very fast.
For starters, it is most probable that most people will not believe the whole wish granting stuff and as such, they will be more likely to take it as a joke.
Imagine if someone wished for the whole world to end or that the annoying man who is talking in the TV to drop dead. It’s even extremely likely that thousands of people will wish to be richest or most powerful person that has ever lived, thus, invalidating anything Max Lord himself would have achieved.

7. Villains defeat: I’m someone who enjoys when a villain is defeated in an unconventional way. In most movies, the villain is defeated when the hero punches him several times in the face and I appreciate it when a movie thinks outside the box. For instance, in Dr. Strange, the titular character managed to defeat Dormamu- the villain by bargaining with him. In Aladdin, the villain get tricked into turning himself into a genie. This movie tries to go a similar route and FAILS MISERABLY.
Humans beings are self-centred and will always look out for themselves and their interests first and as such, it will be impossible to get everyone to take back their wish. What the movie should have done is to make it in such a way that when Max Lord renounces his wish, every wish he granted will also be automatically reversed, but instead, they show people from all over the world having a change of heart and renouncing their wishes, which as far as I’m concerned is total bullsh!t.
If your husband/father beats the shi+ out of you every day and you wished that he will love you unconditionally, will you take such a wish back?
If you had a relation that was terminally ill and you wished for instant recovery, will you take such a wish back and then watch then go back to their sick bed?
If you have been poor all your life and then wished to be rich, will you take back such a wish?
I could go on and on and the answer to most of these scenarios will be a CAPITAL NO.

Other things:
• This movie does that bullsh!t that I hate so much where a character wears baggy clothes and glasses and suddenly the whole world hates them. Kristen Wig is hot even when she is nerdy, so I find it very out of place that she is very despised by everyone.
• Barbara’s arc: maybe I’m wrong here, but from what I saw, the only consequence Barbara faced with using the dream stone was the she became aggressive and lost her sh1t personality and no one liked in the first place. She didn’t really give-up anything worthwhile and as such, it does make perfect sense for her to align with the bad guy.
• The[b]golden armour[/b] existed solely for the purpose of appearing in the trailer, it served no purpose to the movie and could have been removed from the final cut with no detriment to the story.
• Why does electricity affect Cheetah but not WW?

Like I mentioned in a previous post, this movie is enjoyable in a turn-off-your-brain kind of way. If you don’t think about what is going on, odds are you’ll enjoy the move. However, the truth still remains that this movie pales in comparison to the prequel in every way possible. It’s still enjoyable but to say the truth the movie is not that good. The DCEU feels incredibly random at this point and it feels like they just throw stuff at the wall and hope that it sticks.

TheHulk616:
Barcelona are blaming zidane again
Damn it is getting too terrible

jpmoriarti:
Koeman won't make the signings. If we strike gold with the incoming president, he can turn the fortunes of the club around. Dispense off unnecessary players and revitalise the squad.

As for Madrid, they are rebuilding the stadium amidst a pandemic. That would definitely affect there spending war chest. If Perez had known that pandemic was on its way to cripple club finances as it has done now, I'm sure he wouldn't have embarked on such projects. So there spending would be so much limited.

abduleez1:
And who told you I haven't seen both. They're both good but they don't come close to Lovecraft Country.
Only The Boys might be good enough to stand up to Lovecraft Country.

The Boys Season 1 was superb but the season 2 is yet to reach those levels. Got 5 more episodes to round it up.

UNCL3:
I officially quit fanning Barca


I no want wetin go give me heart attack this 2021

Damn, Barca now wallows in deep mediocrity, no hope in sight

Until they discover their bearing I'm gone till then.

Y'all steadily giving me quality content. I really appreciate. Enjoy your holidays

Thanks man, I really do appreciate, we will do bigger things next year

abduleez1:
Detective Chimp?? Hmmm...maybe.

Some are saying Circe teams up with Giganta. Attacks the Amazon in Themyschria, and then have Diana come back to save her race. That'll be an awesome story for rounding up a Trilogy.

What's sure, Diana needs a partner to team up with. Maybe Throw in Zatanna to even up the scales cos it'll be almost impossible For her to Face Circe alone.

What are you doing here bro..you should be a screenplay writer or something

This idea is all sorts of awesome

abduleez1:
Since Wonder Woman is greenlit for a 3rd.
Who's your Villain you'd love to see.

Me thinks Circe would be awesome. She'll restore Cheetah's powers. That way Cheetah is coming back for 3. It'd be an awesome combo.

Imagine a Charlize Theron for Circe role...Kai perfection. One of DC's most powerful sorceress if not arguably no. 1.
