I snapped a quick photo of the life-size figurine of the Gal Gadot Wonder Woman as I waited outside the theaters for the movie screening.
It was the movie premiere of the much-awaited film. Wonder Woman 1984 is the sequel to Wonder Woman and the ninth installment of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), which set the bar high for the series.
Having consumed almost all of the DCEU and Marvel Superhero films, I entered the movie with no expectations, deliberately keeping my mind open for any new ideas. I left the film with exactly that.
“The film, as it is, hits the right note of hope, courage, and empowerment. I only wished the film could be more unapologetically absurd in that regard.”
What Wonder Woman did well
I liked the movie. It has a somewhat coherent storyline with a very well-meaning message that tugged at my heartstrings.
