Just watched it at Alamanda just now. Lepas stress sikit after many months of MCO hehe

What I liked
- Solid and engaging plot, crazy build-up from start to finish with the threat of global catastrophe looming with every scene. Ends with a strong message that's relevant with the times
- There's also a few emotional scenes. I knew it was coming and I thought I was prepared for it, but dem, this film still made me cry
- They finally fixed the villain problem from the first film. WW84 had a truly sympathetic villain (from the moment he walks into his office, you already start empathizing for him). Barbara Minerva/Cheetah was okay, but she had too few scenes
- Gal Gadot hngghh factor really sells the film


What I hated
- Too few action scenes for a standard CBM. Honestly the director dunno how to shoot action scenes. Many lolwut and 'that doesn't obey the laws of physics at all' scenes
- Jarring and low budget VFX
- Fan service zzz


Overall, a good solid film through and through and a worthy sequel to the first film. Really recommend this film, it gets a 4/5 from me

Some additional notes:
- Really loved diana and max lord's arc in this film. For max, he becomes the villain without even realizing it. Diana finally gets closure for steve

I think many people entered the cinema hall to see wonder woman go super saiyan s2 to beat the hell out of the bad guy whilst the true meaning and message of the film flew over their heads
This film kinda subverts expectations by not going with a big flashy third act with lasers and explosions, instead culminates in a clash of ideals, which has been built up from the start

Yeah it has flaws but it did few things way better than the first film. Both films are almost equal in my opinion.

Haha

Still waiting for southern cinema to open up

Haiyaaaaa

Objectively it's just an OK movie, while some degree of improvement over the first one but not in any form or shape a masterpiece that push the genre forward. Maybe age started to catch up on me as my interest in these big budget CBM significantly deteriorates. Not enough meaningful substance for me to latch on.

This kind of movie best to be view at IMAX cinema, waiting impatiently for it to open (Klang Valley).😅

My issue with this movie is all the superficial surface level narrative. Kinda going through a series of checkbox with unfulfilling payoffs. The saving grace Gal Gardot still the quintessential WW that you ignore all the plot holes because of her presence. The first movie is the charming fish out of water moment meanwhile here borderline revisiting an old cliche with role reversal. This sequel just lacks an iconic scene like the first one with no man's land assault and the human dramas less gripping for me. If I shut my brain off still can rewatch just that it's not offensive enough for me to completely shut it off like some MCU films.

Ouch

This is terrible. WTF happen? There's an allegory regarding Israel-Palestine in it that is racist as fuck.

This is why I'm worried that the movie will be going down hill once it is released in the US
The plot is really mess.. never ever i bashed DC movies before, as a DC comic fan, It is really painful to watch my beloved character wonder woman written like this
The actors are good, but the plot? the scripts?

P/S: The f*ck they are using 'beautiful lies' score at the end
I only see bruce wayne with that song...

Angry DC Fan

This is utter disappointing... The fact that these kind of script writing got green light is a fucking joke....
