We're on the island of Themyscira, where Amazons run things without men, thank you very much. Just like the first movie, Wonder Woman is the hero we all need. Even before returning star Gal Gadot appears looking every inch the warrior goddess - she was a combat instructor back home - there's a gangbusters flashback to Wonder Woman as Wonder Girl, played by 12-year-old Lily Aspell. Wonder Woman 1984 does almost everything right and is a sign of hope and goodness in a world that seems devoid of it in 2020. Until then, this sequel to the 2017 mega-hit "Wonder Woman," which grossed $820 million worldwide, gets in its show-stopping licks. But all the CGI huffing and puffing over 2 1/2 hours can deflate momentum, not to mention audiences.
Wonder woman 1984 review movie#
You'd have to be a real Grinch to hate on a movie that's so puppy-eager to please. Wonder Woman 1984 packs in some fan favorite details for Diana and boasts some great action set pieces which take us around the world, though it also features a strong anti-violence message.
Sad to say that's the deal with "Wonder Woman 1984," available Christmas Day on HBO Max and in theaters. It's a left-handed compliment to say a movie starts on a high, as the implication is that it doesn't finish that way.
