WHEN 'Wonder Woman' came out in 2017, the superhero genre was in full swing, but there was one clear thing missing from both Marvel and DC's line-up... women. Add to the fact that every female-led superhero film prior to the creation of the Marvel and DC's Cinematic Universes was met with... let's say underwhelming reviews and poor box office performance. In the case of Wonder Woman, she was the only superhero who already had pop culture significance who hadn't had any kind of mainstream representation in decades, so time was long overdue. Thankfully, not only was the movie a huge success, but it paved the way for more female-led movies in general and changed the whole game.
In 'Wonder Woman 1984', Diana (Gal Gadot, 'Justice League', 'Ralph Breaks The Internet') now in the year 1984, is still coming to terms with the loss of her love Steve (Chris Pine, 'A Wrinkle in Time', 'Star Trek Beyond'). She has quietly been protecting the streets of Washington DC, as well as working at the Smithsonian. When robbers discover lost artefacts, the museum tasks Barbara (Kristen Wigg, 'Mother!', 'Ghostbusters') to help study these new items, and she and Diana become friends. However, one the artefacts - the Dreamstone - has the power to grant any wish. Barbara gives the item to wannabe oil tycoon Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal, 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle', Disney+'s 'The Mandalorian') who has world-destroying plans. Unbeknownst to both Barbara and Diana they were granted wishes - for Barbara to be like Diana, and Diana to bring back her only love Steve... but these both have consequences.
Before we get to my feelings on the 'WW84', I first want to share my feelings on the first film. 'Wonder Woman' is, simply put, my favourite superhero movie (I keep debating between it and 'Birds of Prey'). While its third act is messy and its villain weak, it's a moving piece of cinema. No Man's Land is one of the best modern action sequences, and I can't help but cry every time I see it; I just love it. Outside of that, Diana is such an interesting and engaging character, I loved the theme aspect between her and the soliders, plus her relationship with Steve is touching... and don't get me started on the Amazons. So to say I was excited for 'WW84' is a big understatement.

'WW84' is a good film - yes, but that's not to say it's a little bit of mess. Part of that is it just can't live up to the impact of its predecessor, but other problems are more complex. The plot... a mess. Wonder Woman herself is simply missing from large chunks of the film, the screenplay has too much focus on building the villains - and yes, I mean villains. We have two-villain problem; the film starts building up Barbara, which makes sense as she becomes Cheetah who is Wonder Woman's main villain, but then the film shifts all of its energy to Maxwell Lord. Pedro Pascal is acting his ass off, but a crazy male business tycoon is simply just not as interesting as a woman going from nerdy to literal cat lady. Large chunks of the movie are dedicated to his schemes and plotting, and we get this with Barbara too, but it makes more sense to home in on Barbara as we know the comic history the characters have - plus she's more interesting and is similar to Diana, so there's an engaging juxtaposition. I love Kristen Wiig as Barbara; when she needed to be funny she was, when she needs to be intimidating she was. The only negative is the questionable CGI on her when she is in Cheetah mode, but otherwise, she really pulled off the role. The scriptwriters (director Patty Jenkins along with Geoff Johns and Dave Callaham) could have built up this really great female villain, but it missed the mark. I get why they might have wanted to shy away from it, but as it is, it comes across as weak and makes the character feel pointless. Without spoiling, there are again problems with the third act, and they easily could have been helped if Cheetah had played into it more.
