      In reality the National Lampoon Vacations with the Griswalds are a more realistic look at the 1980's.

    Gadot really deserves more credit for her performance in this film (3rd act aside). Her endearing naivete really sold her performance in the first film and now that she went through that initial arc, she has the harder job of relying more on her confident and dramatic scenes and my god did she hit it out of the park. Her scenes with Steve were gut-wrenching and like you said, didn't capture the magic of the first film, the chemistry was still there and carried the movie for me during a very awkwardly paced 2nd act. The Barbra friendship wasn't nearly as strong as the film thinks it is but I just think they needed more scenes together and for Diana to really feel Barbra's betrayal. I think the film would've benefited having Diana, Steve, and Barbra be a trio chasing Max instead of leaving Barbra on the sidelines.

    If you haven't seen it, I think you might like Thor: Ragnarok. It doesn't take itself seriously AT ALL really.

Taika Waititi is (in my humble opinion) the best thing to happen to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    I think an interesting aspect is that she defeats the threat through idealism, and redempts the villain, rather than dealing with issues through sheer force. I honestly really like superheroes and their most interesting aspect imo is meta in the sense that they're there to inspire people to act better. It's corny, it's an oversimplification of what living life is, but people (not just children) need models, and honestly fictionnal models tend to withstand the test of history better. And then again, the oversimplification of issues in superheroes is often that you can have the good (your side) win over the bad (them) by punching. But that's not what this movie does (contrary to its predecessor). It's got lot of issues but this bit, I liked.
    It kinda sucks that compassion is "relegated" to how the GIRL superhero wins the day, feels pretty antidated but hey, at least compassion as a way to win the day exists somewhere in the modern superhero movie landscape.

How Diana enquired the powerful armor she wears at the end of the movie, showing Barbara's slow physical transformation into Cheetah as well as loosing her humanity.

    @Nick-up5wv 3 года назад +1

    I agree with everything you said, but one problem, for me at least, was not ENOUGH Wonder Woman. Honestly if you did a way too long movie of Superman; that focuses mostly on Clark Kent, and only has about 20 minutes total of Superman you would have WW84. There are other problems, obviously, mostly what you said and a few others, but the lack of Wonder Woman hurt this movie. Also exclusively being set in 1984 fell flat because there's things in this movie that wouldn't have existed yet in real life. The time period was poorly represented before we get to bigger issues. Patty should rename this WW 1980's to rectify continuity issues; that not only mess up the comics, but mess up the time period as well. Anyways I enjoyed your review and I must admit if things don't work out with Gal Godot for WW3 maybe YOU could take over the roll. You're very beautiful. 💖

    Pretty much in agreement, though I did find the film quite entertaining. I'm not at all a superhero fan, Batman to some extend excepted, but I do find the concept of Wonder Woman interesting. Have you seen Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, about the creator of Wonder Woman? He led quite an interesting life - and the 2 women as well, and his reason behind creating the character is fascinating. It's not a perfect film, strangely prudish & safe given the unusual, controversial relationships depicted. But the performances are very good and the subject matter intriguing. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

      @goddyfame3424 3 года назад

      3 changes I would have made to this terrible story that would have at least given people something to rewatch are
      => The robbery scene. WW should have been working as a teacher on a field trip with the kids at the Mall. Then she saves the day using subtle moves not obvious to everyone but the little black girl knows she has powers.
      => The whole GIrl friend scenes would be taken off and instead she would be on a date with another dude interested in her. Sorry, I am not bringing back the dead for any reason. That loss should always be part of her even in her new relationship she should be reminded of him.
      => The make a wish dude is totally unnecessary. I would hake Cheetah and the Make a wish dude the same Character but her motivation would be Feminism. That is MeToo on Overdrive. She would have strong dispise for men and her motivation would be that she was rapped and left to die but she got power from the stone when she wished to be the strongest. Her mission is a world where women are free to reach their full potential without interferance of men. WW on the other hand loves men and believes in a world were Men and Women coexists as equals which puts her and Cheetah at odds. Cheetah creates a feminist Organization and their number keeps growing with lots of women subscribing to her vision. This would make Cheetah a formidable reoccuring Super Villian that would keep coming up with clever plots to achieve her feminist Utopia.
      I havent seen a feminist Supervillian on screen and I believe she would be one of the most controversial and most interesting Villian of all time. It will attract Women who would believe in Feminist Utopia and also attract Men who hate Feminism. That conflict is ready to make a big splash and Wonder Woman, Supergirl or Black Widow should be the one to introduce the greatest Feminist Supervillian.

Almost unbearably tense, haunting cerebral terror, and by the time the end credits hit the screen I was literally in tears & physically shaking. Emotionally but also euphoric.... That is a well deserved state of being but a positive in this case. I could say an annoying amount more about this film but do hope to see you review it.

      @@CARTOONIVERSE1 yes it is very bleak & no main character has much to admire or respect at all. I guess I took it as a comment on our current state of obsession with new tech/social media, voyueristic pleasure, being in other people's heads and disconnected from our real world identity, at each other constantly to the point we have lost any resemblance of soul or rational or empathy. Absolute control becoming ones demise or downfall. I can tend to be more attentive to some of that since I personally do not utilize social medis other than an occasional comment in spaces like this, and I totally understand that this is my individual lens through which I viewed and appreciated the film, not necessarily the filmmakers intention or goal. I do know it began as a seed of an idea while he was run down and worn thin during press junkets for Antiviral. The technique & mostly in camera effects were impressive. I do tend to like alot of bleak, understated and "depressing" films which many others may not see value in, and I know DeepFocuslens does often have similar opinions or insights which are sometimes unique so I was just curious on her take.

    Excellent review Maggie. You used the film's faults to highlight the larger problem of the larger media these days. That strange desire to turn everything into a political lesson. Obviously a Wonder Woman film isn't going to be Tarkovsky. But it's getting extremely hard to even make a Superman film. From mandatory diversity casting to the obvious pokes at the Orange Man, Hollywood has taken on the role of wartime level propagandist. It really gets exhausting. So we get fewer individual visions. And fewer genuinely enjoyable popcorn movies. And most frighteningly there is that desire to remake every successful franchise into a 'new vision' more in alignment with 'the present'. I think what made the original Wonder Woman so good is that all of those elements were not present at all. And I suspect that when the story of how this film was made leaks out we're going to probably find that there was a worthy story buried in here that too many awakened cooks couldn't stop adding spices to. But yeah given Gal Godot and the original Wonder Woman film I'd be up to see a better Wonder Woman film down the line. Thanks for the honest review.

But then out of thin air,it is actually Ares who has been ravaging the humans. So what was the first hour for? The action was cool though and the central relationship of the movie worked.

    I agree👍. Wonder Woman was a great film but the sequel was not. There's a little bit problem about scripted, plot twist, cgi mess & hoping they adding more action. But It was good film but not great. Honestly I'm not a fan of DC but I like this film bcoz U already say it from your opinion & it's my opinion to, just in addition to your opinion for me Gal was fit in this character, i like the cameo of Linda Carter the og & I love the message of this film that u can be hero no matter who u r, at least there's no gender limits in this film unlike other female heroes😅. I love your review, U really know how to criticize a film🥰

    This movie was a complete mess, and probably the strangest super hero move I've ever seen. The lack of morality for how Diana gets her deceased love interest Steve Trevor back is never acknowledged by her. She gets Steve back courtesy of a plot convenience object, a wishing stone. Steve reappears to her in the body of another man. Her rescinding of her wish to have Steve back is portrayed a heart wrenching sacrifice, but all I could think is that she had no right to do what she did. This was an innocent man she was using like a cheap meat suit, and exposing to considerable risk, to live out the memory of a dead man she once knew. Only credible way for her to atone for what she has done is to realize what a monster the stone has made out of her, take this innocent man back to his home and apologize for using him the way she did. Of course, this doesn't happen. Absolutely awful. I could go on and on about what else is wrong with this cinematic disaster. A major fall off a cliff from the first movie.

I was listening to a podcast on Gladiator and they said if Gladiator comes out 15 years later, Maximus doesn't die, he lives and there is 2 more sequels. That says so much about movies now, hardly any movie that has both critical and commercial success can just be done after one.

      How in the Californian fuck did you pick "Gladiator" as the example? It's a bad example.

    I just don’t understand the appeal of Comic Book movies? They are no different than a James Bond movie as you pretty much know what you’ll get when you walk into the theater. Maybe that’s the appeal to people? I wouldn’t be bothered if Comic Book movies didn’t dominate the movie business these days. I just think that TV storytelling is where the real quality is these days. It’s the cause/effect from success of comic book movies.

    • @elfsieben1450
      @elfsieben1450 2 года назад

      There's two types of comic book movies:
      The ones that deal with real people, and the ones that deal with superheroes/villains.
      I watch the latter ones pretty much as fantasy films:
      If the world building visually takes me to a place that has an atmosphere suitable to the protagonist's character, inner struggle or view of the world, I mostly feel content. It's an inner landscape type of thing, much like in a dreamscape.
      "Dick Tracy", "Batman Returns", "The Mask", "Ghost in the Shell", "V for Vendetta", "Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn", "Shazam!", "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse", "The Batman" all fall into that category for me.
      The former type of comic book movies is lesser known, and its prime examples are more like an arthouse movie, or at least like a very well-crafted genre movie.
      Some good examples in my book would be: "From Hell", "A History of Violence", "Road to Perdition", "Ghost World", "Blue is the Warmest Colour", "Persepolis", "Snowpiercer", "In This Corner of the World", "Radioactive".
      These can come in any form and genre, and there is pretty much the same range of appeal and variety amongst them that there is to any other type of (literature, radio play or theatre) adaptation to the big screen.
      So much for (my) reasons to watch comic book movies.
      I do agree that comic book adaptation franchises push other types of movies towards the fringes, endangering the overall variety of stories being told.
      The problem of mainstream (mostly action/comedy) movie franchises sidelining films with more artistic value or thematic depth isn't entirely due to comic book adaptations, though.
      If you look at Disney's other franchises (Star Wars, animated movies, etc.), spy movies, comedies, music films, heist films, racing movies, electronic game based flicks, etc. - it's pretty much the same phenomenon.

    It's kind of ironic to me that you hated this film's third act, because Patty Jenkins originally had the first film ending in a similar way, the studio forced the CGI mess of the third act at the last minute. I liked Diana's speech during the third act of this film, especially since Hans Zimmer reused his Beautiful Lie theme from Batman v Superman. Overall this film was too much of a mish-mash for me. I'm willing to forgive some of the MANY flaws in the plot because it absolutely nailed the heart for me. When Diana had to say goodbye to Steve and ran off screaming in anguish then learned to fly, I think that was my favourite moment in the DCEU so far. A huge issue with this film is they got rid of Zack Snyder's stunt and visual effects teams from the first film. Also Patty Jenkins clearly isn't a good writer, and Geoff Johns is responsible for butchering so much of the DCEU so far. They should've kept the original screenwriters.

Is this not part of the issue right here? Part of the hypocrisy? I could understand this response if my review was pointedly directed towards a feminism vs. masculinity argument, but it wasn't. You lumped me in with a political group without considering that I might feel differently in the same way many women do to men. So really, you just stereotyped yourself as well as the women around you. This reveals a lot about the weaknesses of both genders and their need for power over the other, rather than true equality, which is what we should be striving for.

Your review was the very first I came across made by a female after watching several others from male youtubers, every single one of them addressed this issue and called it out for what it rightfully was. So you could understand my eagerness to get a fresh view on it from a female perspective, but not a single mention of such a controversial scene was made.

    WW84 was irrelevant. I was super bored by the dialogues and the part I thought would blow my mind away was just trash. I thought the Winged Suit would be tied to the Ancient Sumerian Anunakis. but instead it was a stupid story I don't know if they intend to talk about it again. I was disappointed that Wonder Woman who is said to be ancient, doesn't even know history. I would have expected her to recognize that damn stone Artifact and not Use it to trigger the stupid storyline the show didn't need. Having another guy interested in her while she clings to her dead ex would have been a great drama as she tries to hide her true nature from him like the Spiderman story. The crazy make a wish guy was unnecessary, Cheetah could have played that part with all good intentions. They should have merged Cheetah and the Make a wish guy and have a great consistent villian. Why must Wonder Woman be in her underwear to save lives? That should be saved for Special Occation. It would have been more entertaining if she secretely twart the robbery plot at the beginning. That situation doesn't require her to be at her full power mode. She could have uses balls, rugs, swings, etc to make moves that undermine the robbers for cops to apprehend them but then the little black girl being the only one who really knew what she was doing. That would have been very entertaining and satisfying. Cheetah should have been a feminist Supervillian. Having WW who love men at odds with Cheetah who dispisses men and want to bring Amazona to Earth and create a world were Women can live freely without the influence of Men, that would have made a very interesting conflict if the Dialogs are written well. By the way, WW and the Amazonas should be at odds because she loves men.
