To start with something positive: I still think Gal Gadot fits perfectly well to role of Wonder Woman and I think she should continue to portrait that character. Unfortunately that one of only a few positive things I've to say to about that movie. What really bugs me around is that there are so many things that literate make no sense or did not contribute to the movie at all. To name a few:
The title: Wonder Woman 1984 - ok, why 1984? 80's are cool? Tribute to Eric Arthur Blair? I might have missed a fact but why use an 80's setting if there is no reason to do so? The plot: Without going into the details this is a typical plot for a super hero movie. The problem is: They made the worst out of it you could do. It is just boring and it feels like that there are no main characters. And why the hell would you bring back Chris Pine just to grin into the camera and say "Oh wow I'm back and now I'm gone"? The villains: Just one example here that really hits rock bottom: Barbara Minerva after her metamorphosis to that trashy cat thing. I mean what is this? "Hey mom can we watch the musical Cats? No we have Cats at home."
Other facts like sound(track), camera etc. are all fine but especially in contrast to the first movie it remains a huge disappointment.
