I'm sure people are gonna cancel orders or skimp on the gold armor exclusive to the new movie now, seeing as it was complete garbage. Big ouch. Scared for Rogue Squadron now lol

I still think they must’ve left some vital scenes out. In following how Barbara was portrayed in the film from beginning to end to the theme of what she was experiencing..that whole Cheetah transformation made absolutely no sense whatsoever
I hope we aren’t looking at another Snyder JL botched script
Really??? You're the first person, I have encountered, who feels that way. All the comments I seen or heard about the film are positive. I was hyped for the film before, but after reading the posts here before yours, I'm even more hyped. One person even stated that DC redeemed itself with WW84, and it's better than a lot of the Marvel films. From all the comments, the director and screenwriters etc. should make the next Superman film. I wish I could see it on the big screen but doesn't look like that will happen.
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion ..but I disagree . If anything I look forward to the HT figure ..Her new shiny armor was absolutely stunning in this film from beginning to end . I am absolutely looking forward to owning this version of WW because it is one of a kind in appearance.
We all know that in the future the armor lost its beauty and shine in BVS and JL. All I want now is for them to tweak the Gadot hs just a bit more to look like Gal as WW.

While I think it was far from garbage (Birds of Prey was garbage-WW84 was way better than that mess), I was underwhelmed and a little disappointed. Not as good as the first, but still enjoyable. I put it above JL-theatrical, Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey, maybe tied with or slightly above Shazam and tied or slightly below Aquaman. It doesn't compare to MoS, BvS Ultimate Edition or WW1 IMO.

It made sense to me. Literally
When she was on the hellicopter, she wanted to be a apex predator and then some more adjectives that alluded to a beast. Then when Maxwell was taking the things from the wishers, he said ?Give her prowess? or something and I think he granted her a wish which turned her into Cheetah. I do think as she walked away, she should have started to shift/change in appearance though... It was an odd inclusion to not hit at her transforming as she walked away from him/the room. I thought the Cheetah design was great though.
Yeah I just watched it and thought it was great. A bit cheesy at times and didn't have the traditional kind of supervillain we're used to with these movies, but it still worked on its own terms and was fun and engaging throughout.

This film was crap.
A plot that centered around magic wishes.
MAGIC. WISHES.

I won't be cancelling any pre-orders, but the movie just wasn't good. All the actors did everything right. But the story, the pacing, the direction just were all off. Ultimately it had no stakes. All that said, it looked great. The golden armor was a treat.
Not seen it yet but honestly won't effect my decision to get this figure. Need a WW with sculpted hair to complete my trinity and this is the only one.
My Batman is from Suicide Squad so no problem having figures from bad movies lol.

I enjoyed the movie but I thought the premise was cheesy. Gal was fantastic even though I thought some things seemed over the top, even for Wonder Woman. It was fun but not my favorite WW movie.

The movie just did not make any sense from a plot perspective. The golden armor itself was meaningless. She already knew how to fly before hand and the way she used the armor did not connect to her background story on the previous user of the armor.

Overall it did feel like a movie made for 9 year olds, which to be honest might be somewhat the case. The CGI felt cheap in some spots, the cheese factor was off the charts.
There will be people here who will like this movie regardless of what is actually contained in the movie. But this movie is baffling to me in a bad way. Even some scenes that start out well turn into eye roll moments by the end.
Did this need to be a 2.5 hour long movie too? I think you could slim it down to 90 minutes.

I think this explains what they were going for better than most articles. I thought it was ok but it felt like it could have been shorter and i would have liked more action scenes. Pascal did an amazing job.

I think they were going for Superman 2, but it drifted closer to Superman 4.

Watched the first WW right beforehand. Couldn't believe what a fall had occurred between that film and WW84.
Pondering whether or not this is a case of a director having a massive hit, followed by a studio acquiescing to whatever said director wanted on the second picture.
Wiig- who's a fine comedic actress- is woefully miscast here. Her "serious" dialogue- particularly during those overly CGI wrought action sequences- was delivered with all the dramatic aplomb of a recently medicated nursing home resident. Gadot - let's face it not exactly the best actress- seemed directionless here as well. Half the time she seemed to be reading off cue cards or listening to her lines read to her over an earpiece before reciting them blandly to a fellow actor.
And AGAIN: MAGIC. WISHES.

Patty noted she had more control, and could construct the ending the way she wanted in this one. I think this film is 99.9% her baby. 2.5 hour runtime seems to indicate not much was left on the cutting room floor.
*sees she also wrote the movie*
oh..geez. She produced, made the story, wrote the screenplay and directed this.

Well this was clearly meant to have a very different tone than the first movie, and be a throwback to the more innocent and uncynical 80's style of superhero movie, so I assumed people were already aware of that.
I do agree the magic wish idea was cheesy, but I still thought they made it work pretty well and upped the stakes enough with all the unintended chaos it created. And they rationalized it just enough with the stone being a creation of the gods, with a similar power as her lasso of truth. And to be honest most of WW's world is pretty cheesy like that (Invisible Plane? Island of Amazon Women? Bracelets of Submission??), so I thought it fit well enough.
Wait, that's their actual name? So I guess there's a lot of bondage / S&M on Themyscira. I had no idea lol...
