While I was kinda hoping to like Wonder Woman 84, it ended up just being a really boring movie. I like it less than the first movie, which I thought was just okay, but the WW2 era stuff and stuff on Themyscira was good and I genuinely like the scene of her running across the WW2 battlefield (That whole sequence might be the best thing they've done with the DC films), though the ending was just kinda nothing for me. The new one is just "Hey, weren't the 80's cool?" and then there's kind of a villain who inadvertently causes chaos and Cheetah is a thing by the end, but boy this nearly two and a half hour movie does nothing to justify that length. That's like Avengers level, where you got all these characters and stories to fill in that time, but so little happens in WW84 that is actually interesting and entertaining. The writing is just so bad and so much makes such little sense.
Doesn't help that the action isn't that great either. The Snyder-era DC films have never had particularly great CG, like sure its very clearly expensive, but its always very floaty, cartoonish at times, and not in a good way, it just doesn't match up to what Marvel does, where its all CG too, but there's better weight and speed to most things. At this point, there's really only one of the new DC films that I actually like, and that is Shazam, (With a soft spot for Aquaman because I like Jason Momoa) because it's so much more simple and small scale and actually kinda funny, but none of these other new DC films work for me. I'm kinda hopeful for the new Suicide Squad, because it'll hopefully just be full blown madness, and I'm interested to see the multi-verse stuff in the Flash movie, but I wish this era of DC movies would just stop.
