 It's finally time to see the movie that all those Doritos chip bags we're talking about That's a hot mug guys Hey guys, this is my review for Wonder Woman 1984 about time We finally saw the movie that had the longest food ad campaign of all time I'm amazed that I was still finding Wonder Woman Doritos chip bags This movie was supposed to come out in May and I remember the ad stuff started for it back in March Mind you the Wonder Woman cookie collision blizzard that DQ made that they're still doing is bar none The best blizzard, but about the movie. Yeah, we should talk about this. Yeah, I don't know I'm kind of a perplexed the movie is set in the 80s I think kind of for the sake of being in the 80s and The crux of the film is there's this magic rock that grants wishes But it's like a monkey's paw and the Mandalorian Mandalorian wants to prove to his son and to himself and to everyone that he isn't the loser investor that he thinks he is He becomes enamored with the ability of wishes all the while Kristen Wiig wishes to be like Wonder Woman But she kind of just goes toe for grace venom bad. It's kind of Lacking really in terms of what it's supposed to be I like the idea of what they're trying to make Cheetah be but for a movie that is two and a half Hours long it sure spends a lot of time on the things that it shouldn't be and it doesn't focus enough on the things that it should Kristen Wiig's development in this film is so lacking as well as Mando's they give you his development at the end of the movie you get this little tidbit that yeah He likes his son who by the way is played by a pretty tone deaf child actor. I'm sorry little dude I'm not meaning to wreck you like poor Jake Lloyd was you just kind of nothing And I can say that now as stranger things and other Programs and other films that we've been making the last a while have proven that we can get good performances out of child actors So you belong literally in the 80s, which by the way Was it obvious that she was trying to kind of encapsulate? Filming methods as well as just tropes from the 80s I get what she's doing and I applaud her for trying it Jenkins definitely tries to do something Different from the original Wonder Woman. She didn't have as much creative control of that film as she wanted The ending was always a part that was added by the producers So with her having more creative vision I was a little bit skeptical as well as kind of maybe hopeful that she could do something But she's definitely not one of those writer directors some directors just can't do it And she's kind of one of them in the script for the first film while basic was solid this film has Ambitious moments it has ambitious ideas. There are good parts in this movies The idea of Zeus is a very compelling character, but he's not put together properly his conclusion while good is kind of surprisingly lacking in terms of actual Punishment or consequence Kristen Wiig is Not bad by God is her stick at old real fast Gal Gadot We do definitely see the limits of her acting potential in this film me myself and others were kind of hesitant about bringing Chris Pineback It's not the most ridiculous part about the film And I actually do like how it concludes even if the music is doing a lot of work to help embody that emotion in that Moment which by the way did Hans Zimmer really just rip off John Murphy's adagio in D minor I remember when days of future past used this for their trailer and everyone was like all this is great music all the while I lost sunshine fans are in the background here going. Oh, yeah We know where it came from well those uptight kind of people want to tell you Oh, we start first in sunshine for me I actually was very astounded at Hans Zimmer copy and pasting something sure He's done it from his own work, but they didn't ask him or he didn't want to create anything different for this They just were like hey take that Right there. I'm just very surprised the sequel to at the time the most well received film in this entire Stupid DC EU it has a moment. That's so Lazy and then there's the fight scenes which Yee does a lot of kind of interesting sway in this film for that They try to use as little CG as possible They have a lot of the actors trying to do the moments instead of morphing between real and CG Back and forth when it works for both perspectives. They just try to do as much Practical as possible and again I'm gonna give the film credit for trying that because that obviously was not the first thing that most Producers and most filmmakers would want to do the Marvel films have essentially turned into the actors heads on fake bodies It works for what the universe is set in DC EU just keeps going back and forth Considering the entire fight scene with Superman and Batman is almost entirely fake And then you have all of these scenes in this movie trying to desperately Desperately to be real in as many ways as possible and it just looks hokey It looks corny if they're trying to go for that 80s element boom you nailed it Does it work though when she's falling from the sky and her hair is going off? I know she's the goddess of the Amazon. I know it's supposed to be her kind of falling slower than normal human beings I know it's supposed to be like a godlike presence But still her hair would almost look like a jet engine And those parts few far between where the kind of the shining Parts for the first two-thirds of the film because it's boring I'm actually kind of surprised at how long it takes for anything to happen and in that time I'm really struggling to keep engaged in it. However, the third half is actually really good It's kind of a reversal of the first film the beginning and the middle of that movie was really well done But obviously the third part the finale was lacking this movie is the opposite the beginning of it sucks the middle of It's kind of bleh but then the third part's like oh, yeah, we're entertaining again I'm surprised and also not surprised at the same time. This is the DC you were all used to this head-banging stupidity at times Oh, don't screw up the Batman. Come on guys. Well now since I have that Growing bit of dread inside my body I'm gonna give this my rating and I'm gonna give Wonder Woman 1984 a 3 out of 7 The end part is thankfully entertaining and it does bring it out of a complete failure But it's too little too late anyways guys, that's all for me I hope you enjoyed this review if you like this video leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe Otherwise see you guys next time.
