Wonder Woman 1984 - Movie Review

Wonder Woman 1984 might have come out in 2020, but it felt like a movie of the 80s. The production and the cinematography had a very 80s feel to it. This was by far the best performance that Gal Gadot has ever given. there was a large chunk of the film, probably an hour or so, in which Gadot was portraying Diana alone, and not Wonder Woman. She was absolutely fantastic as Wonder Woman, and Chris Pine was somethings that audiance ended up really appreciating. Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord and Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva were also terrific. DC has the kind of villains for whom we would cry. the other side of Diana: her constant pursuit of love, truth and conciliation; her belief that humanity has achieved great, formidable things and that, in the end, human beings can UNDERSTAND AND FORGIVE each other and rise above selfish motivations. is the feminist icon we need. Strong, compassionate, truthful, badass, sensitive, sensual. And one of the best parts about WW movies is exactly this: the development of Diana as a character with these traits is not done at the expense of weakening and demonising male main characters. Steve Trevor is her equal except in super powers and she LOVES him because he is so courageous and heroic. I also really loved a scene where Diana and Steve were in a plane, the cinematography and musical score were beautiful.

The story centred around greed, and how having too much power can corrupt even the most innocent of people. That was such a profound message, and Patty Jenkins directed the narrative in a completely engrossing way.

At one point there was a choice that Diana had to make in regards to not letting greed overcome her and making a sacrifice in order to retain her humanity.
The action sequences are really awesome!! while, sentimental sequences in the movie that will make you cry.

This movie does a upside down turn in relation to the previous one. It is done deliberately - after the massive success of WW1, trying to repeat the same formula would have failed. By creating a complete different approach, WW1984 works perfectly and is a great sequel to the brilliant first movie!
