Sat down tonight to see if the harsh criticism of #WW84 is deserved. If anything, its detractors are too kind. I loved the original #WonderWoman, love #GalGadot, felt the love story angle, appreciated the direction of #PattyJenkins. But my Lord, this sequel is garbage. Thread:
First and foremost, the concept and writing are a disaster. A talented cast is brought to its knees by the plodding, contrived dialogue and juvenile plot. The blame here lies with director Jenkins, who wrote this monstrosity, and may have killed the film franchise. #WW84
#GalGadot remains a compelling star, but she and poor #ChrisPine have to wade through a hideous script that allows them none of the chemistry that drove the original. The wonderful #PedroPascal of #Mandalorian fame is reduced to comic villainous excess. #WW84
The always enjoyable #KristenWiig should survive this career pothole, but her turn as the evil #Cheetah becomes literally the stuff of laughter in the overwrought climax. The problem w/ #WW84 is not that its 2h30, it is that it is exhaustingly bad.
If the script seems like it was written by a high schooler, the ending was handed off to an adolescent younger sibling. What a crushing disappointment. If #WonderWoman films survive, please, Lord, let the writing and story fall into more talented hands. #WW84
