Here is my movie review of Wonder Woman 1984.
So basically what the plot is that it takes place after the first one left off Steve Trevor is dead so Diana find a wishing Stone and she decides to wish him back to life. Then you have this woman named Barbara Minerva who asked Diana if they can have lunch together but she turned her down then she decides to use the wishing Stone to wish that she can be like Diana then she gets a second wish and wishes that she could be number one so she decided to become an apex predator and she transforms into a cheetah. Then you have Maxwell Lord who wishes that he could become one with the wishing Stone and he does he basically makes a wish that he can have all the wishes he wants. so it is up to Steve Trevor and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman to take down cheetah and Maxwell Lord. That is basically what the point is for this movie.
Now a lot of people saying that the acting this movie is really bad but to be honest I don't think it has nearly as bad because I have seen worst acting in other films like Spider-Man 3 and Madame Webb those two movies almost have a watchable acting in them Well the action in this movie is mostly tremendous I still think all the performances work extremely well.
Gal Gadot plays Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman in the film. I have to say well I liked her in the first film I have to say she gave me more and powerful and emotional performance in this film. Now the character of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman is still interesting because in this film she is dealing with the lost of her friend Steve Trevor because he died in the first film during that plane crash and he wants some back and she decides to wish from him back with a wishing stone and she along with him has to take down Barbara Minerva/The Cheetah and Maxwell Lord and Undo all the wishes. Probably the best moment with Diana Prince / Wonder Woman is where she says goodbye to Steve Trevor not only was it really sad but it makes sense because she just wished him back if he didn't want Him to go because she really liked him. It's probably the most heartbreaking scene of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Chris Pine Pedro Pascal and Khristian Wig is excellent
Chris Pine Comes back as Steve Trevor In the film. I have to say he still does a tremendous job in fact I think he gives a far more powerful and emotional performance in this film they did in that first film. Now the character of Steve Trevor is a topic that a lot of people seem to not like because this really isn't Steve Trevor it is his spirit is in the body of another man and I never really had a problem with it because he was still the same character he still cared for Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and the romance between the two characters is still in the strongest aspect of the film. Probably the best moment with Steve Trevor is where he is reunited with Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman and not only was it really powerful and emotional but it makes sense because he really missed spending time with her. It's probably the most beautiful scene of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Gal Dot is terrific.
Kristen Wiig plays Barbara Minerva/The Cheetah In the film. I had to say she does a spectacular job as the character. Now the character of Barbara Minerva / the cheetah is something that now a lot people don´t like but to be honest I didn't think she was as bad Because she was relatively entertaining she Is a fan of Wonder Woman but she turns her down and this causes Barbara Minerva /The Cheetah too hate her so she decides to use the wishing stone to wish that she could be like Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and then her next wish that she wants to become an apex predator so that's how she turns into cheetah and well her backstory is a rehash of Aldridge Killian's origin in Iron Man 3 I think this film handle that a lot better than Iron Man 3 do with that character. Probably the best moment with Barbara Minerva/The Cheetah is where she And then the White House with Maxwell Lord and she confronts Diana Prince / Wonder Woman again and she mentions to her that she is full of surprises and not only with a really awesome action with but it makes sense because she has transformed into something much more stronger and much more powerful than Diana Prince / Wonder Woman can ever imagine and though she made the wish it did call her to lose one thing that being her being happy because all she had on her mind is vengeance. It is probably the most powerful scene of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Gal Gadot is awesome.
However the absolute big standout of the entire film is Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord. Now Maxwell Lord as a villain is really interesting because you really feel bad for him because he what to spend time with his son which he had a sad backstory of him getting abused by his father him and his wife divorcing causing his son not seeing his mother that much and it's probably the most tragic DCEU villain back story ever and he is not only sympathetic but he is really funny because every line he says is just really funny and you can tell Pedro Pascal was having the time of his life playing this character he's hamming it up the entire time not taking any of it seriously. Now his motivation is really interesting because Maxwell Lord he acquires the wishing stone and he wishes that he could have all the wishes in the world and he gives people what they want but he takes things from him and I really like his personality because they make him this television personality it works extremely well. Probably the best moment with Maxwell Lord is where He is in the news station in the White House and he is telling people to grant Their wishes and not only was it really intense but it is also really funny just how over the top Maxwell Lord is mentioning everything it's probably the funniest moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Gal Gadot is astounding.
Now the directing by Patty Jenkins Really interesting because I like about her directing that she develops the relationship between Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor and you get to explore more of their relationship in this film I also like how she adapts the character on Maxwell Lord by making him crazy just like is in the comic books because that's how it happened he starts out and the normal guy but then he starts becoming more unstable when he gets a lot of power and the film goes on so I think it is really astounding and how she did that.
So in conclusion i don't think this the movie is also bad as people say it is because to be honest I have seen worse films than this one like Get Away with Ethan Hawke and poltergeist 2015 with Sam Rockwell I think those two movies are way more unwatchable than this film. To be honest I don't think the storyline if that's bad as a lot of people say if yes it's a little confusing but I did get one really interesting of how it deals with Diana Prince / Wonder Woman trying to cope with the lost of her friend Steve Trevor. I think the actress was in the really good even the final battle I know it's really over the top but I thought it was a lot better than the final battle in madame Webb because that climax is dumber and does not make any sense whatsoever in virtual watchable. Maxwell Lord was a very interesting villain I know a lot of people say he is really dumb and cheesy but that's why I like him he so over the top and so entertaing to watch and Pedro Pascal just he hams it up and he's not taking any of it seriously and you can tell he's having a lot of fun in this film as the character. i think he's up there with M.O.D.O.K from Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantum Mania as one of the funniest villains of the 2020s. I think he is also up there with Dracula from Renfield at one of the most underrated villain of the 2020s I think more people should watch the film before calling it one of the worst superhero films ever made and one of the worst films of 2020.I think more people should watch this film especially if you like Ant-Man with Paul Rudd you'll definitely like this film. I get this movie a 10/10.
