And the ending was about how nice the holiday season is after a catastrophe that affected every person on the planet and almost destroyed the world! So no. The result was something that felt like a draft story for a writer class, with bad CGI, improbable deus ex solutions to problems that were hard to swallow in the first place, underwhelming characters, poor action scenes, pointless Trevor appearance, unnecessarily physical solutions to problems that could have been tackled by simply talking to a person on a phone or something and so on. If it weren't for three male characters whose only quality was they were not evil - and that includes Steve Trevor and the random guy he inhabited, I would have seriously felt under attack the entire film. Men were consistently portrayed as weak, abusive, violent, lacking impulse control and heartless. And third I am wondering if this film was misandric or not. You almost saw the outline of the executive shouting "she needs to fly in the next movie!!!". Second, the story pushed in the invisible jet and that Wonder Woman can fly (!?) in a clunky and hard to stomach way. Then every other supporting cast member had a development arc, while Gadot had about half of one if I am being generous. She may save the day at the end (well, sort of), but the main character of the story was Max, the villain. First of all, Gal Gadot had a supporting role in this film. WW84 was neither of these! It wasn't awful for a random movie made by students, but it was really bad for a film made by a major studio and starring talented people and having so much material to draw inspiration from. I am no expert in comic books myself, but what I expect from a comic book movie is to be striking, visual, stereotypical and above all, consistent with its past and its planned future.
