The most boring, formulaic storytelling ever! This movie doesn’t indicate Hollywood is dead, instead it shows we are way beyond the grave and are just staring at the lifeless corpse of Hollywood cinema being pulled by strings. I don’t know who _Wonder Woman 1984_ was made for. Is the target audience kids? Because this felt like a children’s movie.

When Anna Banerjee said American superhero movies are blatant propaganda. Wow, SO true! I expect nothing less from a movie that’s an American perspective on the Cold War. Damn, communists! Damn, Russians! 90,000 years later Americans are still psychotically obsessed with the Russians. They are the only villains in US movies nowadays as well, so by that you can’t say in which year the whole movie takes place in, the only thing that pertains to 1984 are the clothes.

There was just so much wrong with this movie:

* Gal Gadot is a very beautiful woman but my goodness, she cannot act even a little. It's hard not to think she was chosen only because she's a pretty model type, because it certainly was not due to her acting skills. And does she even have enough lines to justify being the leading character?

* Pedro Pascal’s character is the same villain you’ve seen before in every film ever made: business man is overwhelm by his own greed. Oh, and his dad yelled at him for wetting the bed, so.

* I hated Kristen Wiig’s character. She is the nerd with glasses that nobody helps but we got a "makeover" scene where she becomes "pretty" because she … takes off her glasses! And then everybody totally falls for her. Gal Gadot was like, _"Where is your kindness and humanity, girl?"_ But Kristen Wiig was like, _"Lol stfu bitch, I’m doing hot girl shit now."_ It’s basically an endorsement of the _Joker_ thesis that it's always the socially insecure outcast who will eventually pose the greatest threat to humanity. But now people don’t have a problem with it because it’s women, so :tada: diversity. :tada: You people will gobble up any "diversity" scraps the Hollywood toss your way.

* Other tropes are so cliché are well. The _"hero losing her power"_ - women can only be strong and powerful or have love, never both, or the _"using kindness to save the world"_ – this really is a movie about how we can solve international war and terrorism through … forgiveness. :laughing:

* Everything in this movie is black or white, so naturally, we got the _"every man is an asshole but we aren’t going to have a real resolution about that"_ theme. Guys in car nearly kill jogger lady, bad guys want to throw kids to death in a mall – who acts like that?

* The dialogue is a hokey displeasure to listen to - _"Scientists don’t wear heels" "Some do", "I can save the day but ~you can save the world"_.

All in all, the plot is so riddled with cliches and idiotic ideas, the characters are either boring or stupidly written, the writing is complete garbage. The movie tries so hard to be relevant and relatable. I don’t have a high tolerance for overly cheesy movies, and I don’t think superhero movies are for me!
