Over the break, I watched a few movies. One movie I watched was the new Wonder Woman 1984 movie. Before watching this movie, I read reviews (many of which were bad). I, personally, am more of a Marvel fan than a DC fan, so I was not super excited to watch this movie from the start; however, my parents wanted us to watch it as a family, so the 5 of us sat down and watched it together.
I really liked the start of the movie. It started with Diana (Wonder Woman) as a young girl, competing in an event against much older women. Throughout the competition, Diana was actually beating everyone else, despite the age gap. However, towards the end, she stumbles and messes up. She then decides to cheat to try and catch back up to everyone else. At the end of the scene, she is told that she will not win through cheating. She will instead win when she is ready to win.
This introduction was interesting, and it was supposed to set up the theme for the rest of the movie; however, no other part of the movie seemed to coincide with the introductory sequence, so it felt a bit useless to me.
As for the rest of the movie, I can't say I liked it. Personally, I think the plot was really underdeveloped, and everything seemed thrown together. The villain was pretty weak, and the resolution was very unrealistic and anticlimactic. For a superhero movie, it lacked a lot of action and excitement. Overall, I would probably rate this a 5/10. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't very entertaining and I probably would not watch it again.
(for some reason my review won't publish on the website, but hopefully this is sufficient enough)
