While the cast gives their all, the story line is slow and boring, and the themes are too familiar.
The story line was so boring. I knew what was going to happen as well, too cliché. I also hated how they treated Cheetah, as she is Wonder Woman's biggest and most well known villain. I did like how they treated Maxwell Lord, even if he was too familiar.
The acting was great as usual. When Chris Pine came back he definitely added a lot of charm that the first film possessed. Pedro Pascal gave the best performance in my opinion. I also liked Kristen Wiig as Cheetah, even if the writing for her was very bad.
With the third Wonder Woman, I hope they have a new villain that is pure evil, and has a lot of depth to him. They also need to have a good climax. Say what you want about him, but Zack Snyder is always good with his climaxes. Part of me wishes he was directing the third film, and not Patty Jenkins. And with Snyder, you get a lot of well acted scenes, and he is good with drama.
Overall, while the cast is game, and the visuals are stellar, Wonder Woman 1984 suffers from bad pacing, a poor story line, lackluster action scenes, cliché themes, a predictable ending, and a poor direction from Patty Jenkins, to make this one of the worst superhero movies of all time, and the 3rd worst film set in the DCEU.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
1.5 out of 4 stars
