Wonder Woman 1984.

Wonder Woman is back as the titular character of the DC Comics superheroine. This time... in 1984. Diana Prince has been working in a museum for some years now. But it is the introduction of a gemstone with magical powers that changes the dullness of Diana's worklife. The attractive Gal Gadot again plays her "Duuuuh" expression as Wonder Woman, taking out the villains of all kind (including the jewel thieves in the opening scenes). Those acrobatics of WW sure gave my vertigo a good work out. Kristen Wiig plays Barbara -- a low-level employee of the museum that aspires to be as good as Diana. Pedro Pascal plays Max Lord -- a "loser" oil businessman who is on the brink of bankruptcy. Their lives are turned around when all three come into contact with the gemstone that grants wishes.

Diana wishes for her long lost love, Steve (played by Chris Pine), to come back into her life. Barbara wishes that she could be much like Diana. Yet, Barbara gets more than she bargains, finding that Diana was better than she hoped. Max, knowing the power of the gemstone, wishes that he became one with the gemstone, so that he could grant wishes and take things from people in exchange for the wishes.

Diana finds that her wish is granted with only her powers being diminished somewhat. She is still a kick arse Wonder Woman. It is just that her ability to survive unscathed in battle has taken a turn for the worse. Max goes on a quest on granting wishes so that he may rebuild his empire and acquire as much power as he can. It seems that Max acquired a loss of his health. For the life of me, I could not see what Barbara has lost. Perhaps, her humanity?

The movie plods along with some nice visuals and the soundtrack is excellent. But there is nothing much this movie sequel can offer to the audience that they did not get in the original. There is a general lack of action in this movie, compared to the first movie. What you do see is quite good to keep someone entertained. But, you would be better off watching the first movie, if you had to choose which is the better movie.

By the way, Lynda Carter has a cameo in the movie. See if you can find out who and where she is, before the closing credits.

Superman in a skirt.......

Was a bit more campy than the first one which was much darker imo.

Can fly....?

Can turn things invisible...?

Not the WW i grew up with...!

If Angie Dickinson insured her legs for $1 million dollars then Gal Gadot should get them insured for $100 million, that gal has some legs....

Saw Lynda Carter she holds her age.........

Goldstone - Australian movie

On ABC, Iview, on demand

Shadow in the cloud

Admittedly, not a great movie. But very different. The first half hour or so focuses on Moretz in the turret. The second half of the movie focuses on her and the rest of the crew fighting off Japanese migs and an unknown gremlin ripping apart the plane.

Save your money and watch it on tv. But, if you want to use 2 hours of your time in the theatres, this would not be a bad movie to watch. But, I would not recommend.

WW84 definitely had the B-movie feel about it. As if the director had rested on her laurels for the first one and had the actors phone-in the second movie. Pedro Pascal was wasted on this movie. But, Pascal was not the worst of it. Kristen Wiig looked like she was desperate to jump into a comedy routine.

I am so glad that I did not pay money to watch the movie.
