Wonder Woman 1984 review: This film is a heavy handed period piece serving as an allegory for American decadence. The pacing left one of the most anticipated action movies of the year dragging. Kristen Wiig was great as Cheetah. She had a compelling story arch that ended on a lackluster note. I wished they had done more with her character. The reimagining of Maxwell Lords was the worst part of the movie. He was a terrible character to build a plot around. The action was great, especially the opening race scene of a young Diana. The fashion was 80's chic, but the story was so 2020. Wonder Woman essentially fought Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway, and quite frankly, us. I've been watching this battle for the last 4 years and I wasn't interested in seeing it show up in my super hero movie. Look, Patty Jenkins who directed both films, but only wrote the script for the sequel, delivered a garbage script. But I do appreciate Jenkins consistency in taking DC's best super hero movie, outside Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, and making it as awful as the rest of the Justice League films.
