In that case Batman & Robin was an interesting alternate universe as well: a universe with George Clooney as a terrible batman, Dr Freeze uttering nothing but cringy ice puns, and Uma being more cheesy than Swiss cheese.While me and my gf were watching Wonder Woman 1984, even my gf looked at me in disbelief, and asked me if there were any jets that could fly straight from NY to Cairo. That sort of thing would normally not take her out of a movie. But this was just such a silly and sloppy mistake. It is jarring.It's not just very sloppy writing. I think it is indicative of a greater problem with the film. For a large chunk it just fails to draw the viewer in, and so the viewer cannot suspend their disbelief, and starts analyzing all these mistakes. Pedro Pascal is so cheesy, that every single time he showed up, it took me out of the movie. Plus his look in this is just weird and off putting. I don't believe him in this role.The pacing of the film is also just off. After the initial flashback scene with its muddled moral message, it has a lot of trouble getting started. It drags and drags. I kept wondering when it was going to get going, only to realize all of a sudden that perhaps it had, I just hadn't noticed. The introduction of the MacGuffin does not seem to carry much weight, and when Chris Pine shows up, it feels weirdly edited.During the action scene at the mall, my gf asked me if this was the same director, because the tone felt very different from the first movie. She was right. Despite this being the same director, tonally the film felt very off. Something felt wrong right out of the gate.</blockquote>
