Wonder Woman 1984

Save 2 hours and about 38 minutes of your life and skip this terrible movie. I was curious to see as Landmark Mall (in Alexandria, VA) in the movie as the mall was a vibrant mall until about 15? years ago.

Movie dragged... something... terrible... agony... is... it... over...

IMO, Kristen Wiig was miscast as a villain.

Also, sorry, but Kristen Wiig just sounded to me, and everyone else watching, "Wonder Woman 1984", like her SNL character "Penelope".

However, I could easily watch Gil Gadot all day.

And that was definitely blocks of late-20-teens DC and clearly not 1980s DC.

It was pretty bad overall.

I heard the same from other friends who said it belongs on MST3K, they were making fun of it the whole time. I guess I'll skip it.

(if you're not from or living in the DC area you probably wouldn't get it. Ex: scene in a modern metro station with modern trains with signs for a line that only started opening in the last couple years and isn't even fully finished and fully open to the public yet)

(But mainly 80s DC was a dangerous gritty place, so I'm told as I moved here 2006, what was in the movie is the modern, gentrified, rich white people from the burbs feel safe walking with their kids cause all the poor working class and BIPOC people have been priced out of the area, soulless abyss)

(Also I used to live walking distance from Landmark Mall while it was dying but still open, laughed at the stores the movie kept)

(But also it's just a bad movie)

I don't want to give anything way in regard to WW84, but the story line is old. Even the Simpsons "Tree House of Horror" (I don't recall which one) had something very similar.

I watched last night and sent friends the same warning. I can never get back that 2.5 hours. She's hot and great to look at but how could they get this so wrong?

I enjoyed it and I'll probably watch it again. I find if I don't pull strings, nothing unravels.

I was disappointed, as well. It felt weak and contrived.

I'm just glad that New Order is finally going to make, rather than lose, money on Blue Monday.
