I understand this movie was in some ways supposed to be a period piece based in the ’80s. However, it seemed more like the ’80s was on its period and forcefully bled 80’s nostalgia with a heavy flow. This was extremely evident during the mall scene at the beginning of the movie and then again during the pointless scene where George Cloo…I mean Chris Pine is playing dress-up. I hate when movies insult our intelligence and force-feed us certain themes and plot points. Just the mere mention of 1984 on the news or seen in a newspaper article would have sufficed in letting the audience know that the movie was set in 1984. NOPE! We are forced to sit through 10-15 minutes of 80’s nostalgia crammed into one mall to a nauseating degree.
Speaking of nauseating, the way Diana’s loneliness was depicted in this movie was HORRIBLE! Again, the movie insults our intelligence but turns it up a notch in the scene where Diana is sitting outside of the restaurant and the camera pans from one side of the street to Diana and in the background we see couples smiling, laughing, kissing, doing couple shit. I understand that was supposed to represent Diana’s loneliness, but it just wasn’t affective and looked awkward as fuck. If you didn’t understand what the scene was supposed to represent or get some type of emotional connection, then the scene just came off as creepy and out of place. It was a random tonal shift that seemed unnecessary.
WAIT! What the fuck was up with EVERY guy in damn near EVERY hitting on Diana and then the same happening to Kristen Wigg after she got her powers. Was I the only person annoyed by that? Did that just seem lame and gratuitous? I started getting annoyed because it took away from what was actually going on in the scene. If there was a point trying to be made then I guess I missed it.
Look, I ain’t for a lot of typing so let me just get straight to the point:
Kristen Wig channeled her best Halle Berry from Catwoman. Really not feeling her character AT ALL. Weak villain with weak motivation.
#WW84 is DCEU’s Thor: The Dark World.
– You know what…”Oh my gosh” girl needs her ass beat…
– Who really gives a fuck about Geroge Cloo…I mean Chris Pine aka Steve “We Brought You Back Because It Was In Your Contract, Maybe?” Trevor. DCEU has done an extremely poor job in building their relationship. Their relationship is about as hollow as an empty Pringles can.
– Make a wish on the wishing dildo. Yall can’t deny that that wishing crystal was a mystical dildo with a cock-ring attachment.
– Oh, can DCEU please stop with the greenscreen, forward-facing running moments…shit looks corny.
– I feel like there was a missed opportunity with the Maxwell Lord arc. There could have been a lot more done with the whole “wishing” thing.
– Yes, Wonder Woman can fly, but in the movie, HOW was she able to fly? What about her powers allowed her to fly?
– So EVERYONE renounced their wish?!
– Alaster! < MARTHA!
– DCEU just fucked up their continuity. No other superheroes showed up or had any recollection of the events of 1984?
This movie was just a long boring mess of nothingness.
