I have never left a review for a movie before but this one deserved it. Look, I went into the theater really wanting to like it (I had a freaking Wonder Woman lunchbox that I used all through grade school) and I had seen some pretty good reviews about the sequel so I was stoked. I don’t know what movie those people saw because what I saw was garbage. It is very poorly written leaving HUGE plot holes, its slow and pointless, and it makes absolutely no sense in the DC cinematic universe (*SPOILER* She discovers new powers that she doesn’t have in the future and didn’t she tell Bruce Wayne she had been in hiding for 100 years?? She is definitely not hiding her Wonder Woman identity at all in 1984). Pedro Pascal’s performance was great but his character (like everything else) was poorly written so there’s only so much you can do to make a character believable. Chris Pine is also a solid actor but instead of the dynamic relationship with Diana we saw in the first Wonder Woman, he is basically just her pet in this one who plays up the trite 80’s nostalgia. I’d probably give this 2 stars but I’m mad that I saw so many 5-star reviews going into it so this is my revenge. (*SPOILER* that’s a way better villain origin story then whatever that was that happened with Kristen Wiig’s character)
