Wonder Woman 1984 2020

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Wonder Woman 1984’:

  1. I certainly wasn’t bored, but there was clearly not a solid, cohesive plot here. The whole “make a wish on a rock from a god” storyline was super convoluted and far from clear. EVERYTHING about it felt severely thrown together. Bringing Steve’s “spirit” (?) back from the dead felt like quite a stretch as well.

  2. Despite the rather inventive way of bringing Pine back into the fold, it was nice seeing them together again. And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t moved by their second parting.

  3. One tiny thing I REALLY missed here was (what I thought was) her epic theme score from the other films in the DCU. That whole guitar riff thing. It was so epic and badass — and so very absent in this film.

Bonus Thought: As much as I love love love me some Kristen Wiig, and as much as I was SO excited to see this massive departure from her usual comedy work, she felt a tad out of place here. But I did enjoy her villain more than Pascal’s — which I think might be among the absolute worst in a superhero film.
