Where do I start? I believe it’s kinda of an unspoken rule that a movie must earn its runtime especially when it’s longer than 2 hrs and I don’t think Wonder Woman 1984 did that at all. This movie did not feel like it needed to be this long and even with that being said it consistently saves time with lazy storytelling. How they bring Steve back, Cheetahs powers, Maxwell Lords powers all conveniently explained with one thing. Which brings me to my next point Maxwell Lord. Just because you hire a good actor doesn’t mean they’re gonna nail the role cause at the end of the day u have to work with what they write and poor Pedro Pascal was written terrible and I don’t blame his performance but I do blame his character more than anything for this movie being bad but Maxwell Lord isn’t the only thing to blame for this movies failure. In case I didn’t make it apparent Maxwell Lord is awful in this movie, and I was actually pleasantly surprised with Cheetah not that cheetah was great but I just figured she’d be awful but Kristen Wig did pretty good. It wouldn’t be a Patty Jenkins film without a fish out of water element and a horrendous third act so let’s bring Steve back and attempt humor from something we’ve only seen a hundred times and even in the predecessor and just make the movie nearly intolerable for the third act. To be quite honest this movie probably gets a bit to much hate because they’re are plenty of superheroes films with horrible villains, lazy writing, and predictable and cheesy storytelling that don’t get trashed on like this movie but that doesn’t change the fact that it seemed this movie went out of its way to be bad. I simply think if you remove Maxwell Lord from this film you have a much better movie. Obviously some rewriting will need to be done because he is a major part of this movie simply Wonder Woman vs Cheetah would’ve been much better even without Steve Trevor.
