@Oberlin4Prez - Respect your opinion but i thought the film was terrible. Some critics are comparing it to Superman 3 level of cheese and bad writing. I agree and thought the film was slow, terribly paced, and too long. For a film that was delayed more than New Mutants the CGI was bad and noticeably fake. This film is similar to Ang Lee's Hulk where "superhero" persona is absent for 90% of the film and when you do see "wonder woman" it lacks excitement. The villains are terrible and overly simple like Spiderman 3 or the worst mcu villains. Then there are just odd or weird story plots that dont work like what the film does with Steve Trevor.

It was like Birds of Prey to me, terribly disappointing.

@oreilly - I am a paying member of HBO Max. I have a wired and fast internet setup and saw it in 4k dolby vision hdr on my 75 inch tv. There weren't a lot of action scenes but I did notice some bad cgi whenever wonder woman "speed runs", there is this scene where she was running in the street and it looks like her feet were levitating off the ground but tbh all speed run scenes in this scene look bad and has this wonky fast forward motion effect. The part where WW was in the sky, the wide shoots is too noticeably "fake" and looks like she was inserted in. Finally, the Cheetah fight was mostly hidden behind a dark navy blue filter to hide how bad Cheetah visually looks and was rendered. It was actually hard to see if you don't up the brightness/contrast of your tv.

Some great cgi is the stadium in the intro of young diana and the fireworks scene of her and trevor in a plane. Not trying to spoil the movie/plot so im using vague descriptions but having seen the movie you prob know what scenes im referring to.

@Oberlin4Prez - @Oberlin4Prez - @mastakilla39 - Uh dudes. The Wonder Woman 1984 score is still fresh.

The film itself if I am being fair and balanced is bad.

However, its not a disaster. The first half after the olympics is horrible. It then picks up when they go to Egypt, stays good right up on to the third act.

Also the Wonder Woman action is seriously lacking in this movie.

I hope the franchise can recover from Patty Jenkins terrible decisions here. Funnily enough it wasn't really the script. There was enough good scenes to make a great movie or decent movie. So the script while not fantastic was not the akiles heel. It was actually purely the directing. The cheese of the first half and lack of hand to hand combat action in the second half of the movie was a terrible idea. People claim this was cheesy like Superman 1 or 2. But I don't think it really was. I think both those movies had much wittier scripts. This was just unnecessary cheese. The same scenes if acted naturalistically, like the robbery in the beginning and injected with more action, could have worked. It wouldn't have been the best thing of all time, but it also wouldn't have been as unbearable to watch. However the real shame is the Olympics was fire and then literally as soon as they get in the Invisible Jet, its like the tone shifts and the film becomes a really beautiful movie for the next 50 minutes or so. It was everything the movie was trying to achieve. Then once she starts flying, which was awesome. The film becomes a third movie, which was not great either.

I'm not sure what Patty was thinking. Its like a completely different director from the first. Her instincts are ALL off.

@mastakilla39 - I unfortunately have to agree with you

@dracula - I'm the opposite, i think WW 3 should have a new director for a modern day superhero, the action and big set pieces that people are mainly there to see lacked excitement. I rather WB use a new female directir like Kathyrn Bigelow who did hurt locker and point break or the waichowski sisters.

@dracula - The first movie had that really awesome contrast between Greco-Roman futurism in Themyscira and the drabness of early 20th century London and Europe. The hyper saturation goofiness of the 80s kinda ate up WW's sparkle!
