[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8156881, member: 18182"] I loved it! The first movie was better, IMO, but I still loved '84! The movie started off too slowly for me, with too much [I]wink-at-the-camera[/I] '80s cheese ([I]with Gadot literally winking at the camera at one point[/I]) . . . but there was good reason to set this story in the '80s. As the stakes ramped up, I really began to enjoy the film. The early battle against the mall-jewelry-store robbers was silly, annoyingly so. The flashback scenes of Themiscrya were breathtaking, again. The little girl who played young Diana in both films (Lilly Aspell) was again adorable and believable as the headstrong and arrogant young goddess. Din Djarin, er, Pedro Pascal, was cheesy as Max Lord for the most part, but pulled off some really good stuff at the very end of the film. For most of the film his villain was very, well, comic-book and melodramatic. Kristin Wiig played a very believable transformation from nerdy scientist to sexy-dangerous Cheetah. Chris Pine was, well, he's one of the best Chrises for a reason, great as always. Despite the '80s cheese surrounding her, I felt Gadot did a good job portraying Diana's heroism and sadness. The villain's motivations were understandable, although you didn't fully get Max Lord's until the final chapter in the movie. The action sequences were pretty awesome, although again, not quite to the same level as the first film. Steve's return was fun, but ultimately tragic and sad. We got some fun cameos . . . Simon Stagg, Bialya, the invisible jet, the "Kingdom Come" golden armor (which looked fantastic on screen), the mid-credits scene . . . FUN! The film also stayed true to the themes of the first film, that love and truth will save the day, which was put up against the VERY '80s greed and selfishness of Maxwell Lord, and also Barbara Minerva I watched WW84 on HBOMax, and made the foolish decision to watch the DC Fandome half-hour special before the film . . . that was awful, skip that!
