Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Movie Review
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), directed by Patty Jenkins, is a sequel to the 2017 Wonder Woman. Set in the 1980s, the film follows Diana Prince as she grapples with her desires and the consequences of the Dreamstone, a mystical artifact that grants wishes at a cost. Diana faces two villains: Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal), who seeks the stone’s power, and Barbara Minerva (Kristen Wiig), who becomes Cheetah.
The film’s 80s-inspired, neon aesthetic complements the era, and Gal Gadot shines as the heroine. While some critics praised its emotional depth and themes of love and selflessness, others felt the plot was muddled, especially with the Dreamstone’s supernatural elements. Though not as impactful as its predecessor, Wonder Woman 1984 offers a visually striking, if flawed, superhero experience.
