I’m torn between wanting the movie to be successful to somehow improve confidence in the theater model but also not wanting it to do well bc it was pretty terrible.

If our lord and saviour Christopher Nolan couldnt save cinema and the world with the Gospel of Tenet then how could anything?

Shame it was so disappointing.

Will you look at that 🤗

Just watched it. What a piece of crap. What happen Patty?!

I don't think the film was awful by any means, but I definitely understand some of the criticism that has been sent it's way. I do like the overall character arc for Diana, but I'll admit Maxwell Lord as a villain went into full camp territory several times, though Pedro gave a pretty good performance, and Cheetah's motives came across pretty juvenile and weak at the end of the day. I know they can just say it was the magic corrupting her mind, but I honestly feel like Barbara really should've hit rock bottom to justify her complete pivot into villainy, though Kristen gave a pretty good performance as well. I do think the abrupt return of Steve could've been handled little better, but ultimately I'm not really mad at his role in the film, Pine has great chemistry with Gadot and their scenes together are always enjoyable. I definitely would have preferred more action in the film, the fight with Cheetah was very forgettable and underwhelming. I do like the overall theme of the film and watching Diana learn what it truly means to be a hero. I just hope for the next film, we can get a villain that is a both a well-written character and a true physical challenge for Wonder Woman. I want a present day setting, more themyscera, more mythology, and definitely more action. I totally get not wanting to make the film a fight scene compilation, but if it weren't for the car chase and the Cheetah fight, this film would've been Superman Return levels of no action. Overall, not as good of a movie as the first one, but not garbage like some people say either.
