When I heard the title 1984 for some reason I was expecting something to do with George Orwell or some connection to his book....I'm thinking because it was conceived around the time of Stranger Things peak and the 80's retro thing was trendy at the time. But it's release was delayed so much since then.....
That's all I can think of!
Everyone else has pretty much already made most of the points I wanted to make, so no point in me repeating those. The film was laughably bad though... there were no real "WOW" moments and it all just felt very weak and unimpressive overall. Even found myself kinda disliking Gal/WW after a bit due to how cheesy and cringe some of her scenes were. Oh, and there were so many cool things they could've done with the 80s time period, but instead it was just used a backdrop and had no real influence on the story.
Haha that kinda baffled me too... talk about clingy lol. The way the wishes worked definitely didn't quite add up at times... like you said, why did Steve have to appear as someone else? It's almost as if they ran with that idea just so they could lump in the "sweet" and unnecessary scene at the end. Speaking of unnecessary, there were tons of moments they could've easily done without to shave the runtime down - can't believe they spent half the movie introducing such cliched characters (Cheetah felt like a budget retelling of Selina Kyle/Catwoman from Batman Returns). The more I think about the movie, the more it makes me laugh... soooo many continuity errors, and the action sequences were honestly pathetic IMO. I actually wasn't convinced with the trailers anyway, so I'm not all that surprised I didn't enjoy it.Honestly man i Really wanted to love it. I was so badly looking forward to it and especially after watching the first one on the same night and realising how f**king good it is. This was just a shambles. The more I think about it the more it winds me up. Like mentioned in the film arena steelbook thread. The whole chip on her shoulder and moping around about Steve 66 years later is just laughable. Like seriously Diana? I mean the guys she has hitting on her are all a bit creepy, abusive, drunks and rapey but they can’t of all been like that. But yeah I also just started to hate Gal the more it went on which I really didn’t want to.
Also, how weird is it she sleeps with Steve but as the new guy lol. Like that’s a bit f**ked up. It has some really questionable decisions in this film.
And why does he have to appear as another guy? Why not just make him appear considering it’s magic that brings him back. Okay you pay a price for your wish but her price was loosing her powers. Why does he have to appear in another body/ vessel. So damn strange.
And if they didn’t do that because they were worried it wouldn’t be believable
Then that’s just weird too considering they are literally using a magic wishing stone as the key to the plot with someone swinging around on a whip latching on to lightening which also when it touches you makes you tell the truth and a woman gets turned into a crazy strong (and sexy) cat lol. I just can’t work out why he didn’t return as himself. When you got all that going on in a film then just do one more thing and make him magically appear. They could of still done the scene with her renouncing her wish and he disappears. Then they could of left out that weird scene where she bumps into the other guy and has that pointless little ‘ive now moved on after 66 years’!
Also in the TV show Diana was prim and proper and any time someone tried to hit on her even if it was someone she knew she make it clear hanky panky was not the order of the day.Honestly man i Really wanted to love it.

It did make a change from having the men sniffing round her like she was a ***** on heat.....And that’s fine but in this they made all the men sleazy, creepy and rapey. Was just weird
Lol just I read this I went to the ''whats new'' page and saw thisAnd that’s fine but in this they made all the men sleazy, creepy and rapey. Was just weird
And that’s fine but in this they made all the men sleazy, creepy and rapey. Was just weird
Never once said that guy didn’t get what he deserved.
He looks more like a burnt out Russell Crowe than joss Whedon
We’re discussing the whole not getting over Steve for 66 years and the decisions made with all the men she’s encountered in the film.
We’re not even talking about Barbara either.
We’re laughing that it’s taken someone 66 years to get over someone lol
Honestly, I don’t know why you don’t allow others to talk about DC films. And then you only comment on my comments, like it seriously offends you It’s so strange. It’s like no one else can talk about them and have opinions about the DCEU when you’re around.
I Just knew you’d come lurking from out of the shadows when people started talking about this film and their issues with it. I placed bets
A lot of us was expecting this film to be great like the first one but a lot of us were left disappointed after the excellent first film. Stop acting like you’re the one who understands DCEU films
