Loki has some big 'we entirely stole the concept and vibe of Angel because no one remembers it anymore except the puppet episode' energy.

I think they want to release it on streaming ASAP but they need to release it in cinemas for contract reasons.

So WW84 is... ok.
Quite generic, especially after the first one being a little bit different and interesting re the period it was set and the set pieces.
I’d put 84 in the same tier as Dr Strange - enjoyable enough but I’m in no rush to watch it again... Competent, better than the other DC stuff but not great.

I’m leaning more towards hot mess. The first one was Dr Strange level. Poor to mediocre apart from the two stars and the no-mans-land bit.

This one had four good actors and performances, no stand out action sequences and the absurdity of the central plot device quickly unravelled the story into incoherency. Way too long as well. You can chop half an hour out of that easily.

Bloody suicide squad fanboys.

Watching WW84...and it’s fucking dreadful. Must be about an hour in, and it’s boring me to death. Please tell me it gets better.

Literally just seen that. Dreadful.

Yup. Only way in the U.K. at the moment.

I just watched Angry Joe's review.
Wow. Looks a stinker.

What the hell is Mando doing?

Was he angry about it?

A surprising turn of events...

So, Wonder Woman 1984.
Let's cut to the chase, because having lost two and a half hours of my life watching this absolute dumpster fire, I'm not prepared to waste a lot of my remaining time on this earth writing about this Christmas turkey.
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the single worst DC Universe movie they've made yet, and fuck me, but it's a pretty low bar to start with.
This is worse than Suicide Squad.
This is worse than Batman v Superman.
This is worse than The Justice League.
It's insultingly bad. It's incredibly boring. The acting is wooden. The direction is non-existent. The writing is nonsensical. Honestly, the list of cinematic crimes on show here is fucking endless, and to crown it all, I'm genuinely staggered that this movie was written and directed by a woman, because I thought the whole thing was really quite insulting to the female of the species. Yup. It really is that bad.
None of it makes a lick of sense, and no-one comes out of it smelling of roses. In fact I'd go as far as to say that if Pascal didn't have The Mandalorian on his CV, this could well have ended his career.
Wiig also gives a career worst performance, and let's not forget she has Ghostbusters 2016 on her CV. Pine phones in his unnecessary reprise of the Trevor character, and even Gadot is oddly charmless this time round.
I gather when they made this that it quite understandably tested really badly with preview audiences, and some re-shoots were done. Whatever the case, it must have been the cinematic equivalent of bowel cancer in it's original form, for this to be considered an improved version.
I'm speechless that because of the pandemic, this film has sat on the shelf for the best part of a year, yet in all that time, nobody at Warner Bros thought, "you know, maybe we could use this down time to maybe lick this into some kind of watchable shape."
I fully expect this to absolutely tank at the box office. It really is that bad. What is annoying, is that WB will undoubtably use the pandemic as the excuse for it's failure, when the truth is, it's just one of the worst superhero movies ever made.
Consider yourselves warned then. It's two and a half hours of your lives you will never get back, and if you still want to see it out of some sort of understandably morbid curiosity, then I'll leave you with this. Get it from the high seas, and for the love of God, do not pay money to see it. Go give a tenner to a homeless person instead. You'll both get more out of that, rather than wasting your hard earned cash on garbage like this.

Reads like a 7

To be fair, quite a few of the marvel movies fall into the overlong trap. Unless it's really needed, most superhero movies would be much better at the 90 minute mark.

Neither can Tenet
