Great family movie, but from a superhero standpoint.. no. I was an hour in and I completely forgot that it was a superhero movie due to the lack of action packed scenes that are essential for these kinds of films. The first WW was a 10/10, because of the incredible character development and story line. However, in WW1984, these new characters were just thrown at you and had a very cliche personality.
Don’t get me wrong, this movie was enjoyable to watch, but it had so much more potential! I felt as though Gal Gadot wasn’t even the main character and was more of a secondary while pedro pascal had the spotlight. These actors are fantastic, but I didn’t love their character.
Anyway, all in all, it’s a fun family movie that kids would love, but from a superhero movie fan, this was not it.
Pros:
- great capture of the 80s
- interesting concept
- great humor
Cons:
- minor character development
- cliche personalities
- very few action scenes
