WONDER WOMAN 1984
Trailer
Living quietly among mortals in the vibrant 1980s, Diana
Prince aka Wonder Woman, experiences an era of excess driven by the pursuit of "having it all". Coming into her full powers, she maintains a low profile by categorising
ancient artefacts and performing heroic acts seemingly under cover. Diana soon finds that
she will have to muster all of her strength, wisdom and courage as she finds
herself pitted against Maxwell “Lord” Lorenzano and Cheetah, a villainess who
also has strength and agility in her possession

Review: This movie was pushed back a few times due to the pandemic, and had a lot of hype going for it, given the success of 2017’s Wonder Woman. I’d have to say that whilst it was different, personally, it didn’t capture what made its predecessor so enticing to watch, that too on the premise of the feel of Thor: Ragnarok. There is a Greek mythology surrounding Diana Prince that could or would draw audiences in with huge spectacles within the movie. I can’t help but shake the feeling that everyone would feel differently if we weren’t in a pandemic. But then again, even less than grandiose moments have been able to awe audiences. Lots of character building for what I hope will be a bigger sequel, given the mid-credits scene.
