And yet it’s also brimming with the same wonder and joy as the first film, the rare movie - of any stripe - that doesn’t just want to believe in the goodness of people, but is willing to make them truly work for it. Those are some big swings, and not every single one lands, but the ones that do are both joyous and genuinely worth pondering. “Wonder Woman 1984” is all about playing with magic and wishes and desires, only to see them lead to horrible ramifications, instant gratification, and the revelation that lying is never without consequence. But watching her soar through the air - while consistent with later editions of the comic - also detracts from the athletic leaps that make the character distinctive, turning her into an ersatz Superman with a cuter outfit. There's a disarming romantic touch in Diana acquiring the ability of flight through Steve's explanation of its rudimentary principles.
However, I missed the more hand-to-hand gladiatorial aspect of so many fight scenes in the first movie. Gadot remains a charismatic presence who wields the lasso with authority, even tethering lightning bolts in some arresting moments. Meanwhile, I'll post some short reviews on the movie. Rotten Tomatoes: 88% (76 reviews) with 7.30 in average ratingĬritics consensus: Great Hera! Wonder Woman 1984 is an epic dose of heart and vibrant escapism that proves there are still unexpected thrills to be found in superhero cinema.Īs with other movies, the scores are set to change as time passes.
