Since I enjoyed the first film so much, writing this review is not a happy task for me.įurther complicating messages to the kids and adults watching is the movie’s extremely strange takes when it comes to female empowerment this time around. In fact, my anger over how much of a let down this movie is has only grown after sleeping on it. Maybe it was that my expectations were so much higher this time around, but I find myself emerging from WW84 with none of the fuzzy feelings I felt before. There was enough that made the movie distinct and special. There were some truly astonishing fight scenes that showcased Diana’s power, even if the final battle with Ares was universally derided as a silly CGI muddle.

It was empowering and groundbreaking to see our first massive female-led superhero film directed by a female director. I adored the Amazons on Themyscira and Diana’s new friends Sameer, Charlie, and Chief Napi, and found the WWI setting almost refreshing compared to our endless cinematic retreads of WWII. I went in with no expectations and discovered a rousing movie about coming into your own, defeating evil, and falling in love in a way that felt earned.
