Setting aside filming technology, the remake of Shogun is not as good as the 1980 make starring Richard Chamberlain. First off, the character development is much stronger in the original make. Second, the actor playing Blackthorne in new make is unattractive with a heavy British accent speaking so fast that sometimes becomes inaudible. Third, the actress playing Mariko is so stiff. Fourth, Japanese actors are expected to have certain foreign accent accent but not the British, Aussie or New Zealander accents. Overall, watching the older make again, I find it to be superior to the new make, in my humble opinion.

This is a soap opera on steroids. Some characters are interesting but the extreme melodrama is often too much to bear and makes the characters shallow. Update 7/17/2021: Season 3 is totally disconnected from season 2. Jack's shooting ignored, twins on the way no longer a problem as the mother-to be is engaged, and Mayor hope has disappeared. Enough with this garbage ... I stopped watching it.

I can't find anything right about this movie. The storyline is fragmented, is too slow to develop, and at the end makes no sense. I find this idea of women emulating men in physical strength quite disturbing. Men and women have their own traits of strength and weaknesses, and the point is not to compete with the other gender in their presumed area of strength. The proper idea is that men and women are complementing each other not competing with each other. One may say it's a fictional work. But fiction is not totally devoid of reality. We accept and assume certain parts of fiction to get the story going but logic does not take a total vacation. Movie characters ought to be 3-dimensional (4-dimensional if we add time factor) or else they will turn into a 2-deminsional caricature. And that is what Wonder Woman 84 characters are.
