Wonder woman 1984 review movie#
And for many, the expectations of a new movie featuring this Amazonian princess fighting bad guys, and occasionally saving the world, were through the roof with anticipation. When a film finds that kind of success, the sequel is likely to fall short when it comes to bringing the character back to life for another adventure. While many were concerned that the film wouldn't work early on, audiences and critics alike welcomed the stand-alone superhero blockbuster wholeheartedly. REVIEW: Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot created on-screen magic together with the 2017 hit Wonder Woman. Now we see her living in the 1980's where, after discovering an unusual artifact, she finds herself up against the wickedly tough Cheetah, and a dangerous conman by the name of Max Lord. PLOT: Diana Prince has found her place in the world decades after the previous film.
