That's EXACTLY what I thought. Why even bother to call it a Wonder Woman movie if the movie does nothing to advance the character's story?
It felt like somebody brought this terrible idea about a rock that grants one wish to the studio, and the idiots at the studio said "Hey, let's put Gal Gadot in the movie and call it a Wonder Woman movie! Profit!" [Reply]

Basically. Just so badly done...I love the character and what Gal and Patty did with the first film. The wishing bullshit they don't have to explain shit either. This might be my least favorite or next to least favorite dc movie. The after credit scene, the flying scene and whitehouse scene were the only cool parts from the movie. No idea how they let this happen. 65% on RT is being way too kind. Plot was so bad...I'm even more upset with this movie after I had to see it again with the wife. [Reply]

The entire first 25-30 minutes could have and should have been cut.
The tone reminded me of the 80s Supergirl movie or Superman III.
Nobody should be using those movies for inspiration. [Reply]

How the fuck hard up are you guys :-). You couldn't PAY me to finish this garbage movie [Reply]
It's funny, the mall opening had me thinking it was one of those "shooting a movie within a movie" scenes and I was waiting desperately for somebody to yell "cut!" so that real plot could commence. That cut never came. This film was turrash. [Reply]
Reading all the reviews for this here and elsewhere makes me think for some reason they actually made that Superman movie the Nic Cage was supposed to star in. [Reply]
When did you realize you’d bring back Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright? Was that always written in? Was it because of the success of the first film?
PJ: It was not always written in. It was the success of the first film, but it was also something else. I wouldn’t of jammed it in there because of the success of the film, because it actually made the movie too long. We have two openings in our movie and we would talk about it with the studio all the time and they would say, you’ve got to cut the mall and the Eighties, or you’ve got to cut the Amazon. I was like, we can’t, we can’t cut either. The reason that I ended up realizing that you need the Amazon is because I suddenly, you do that thing where you’re like, wait, you have to remember all the people that haven’t seen the first Wonder Woman who watch this on a plane. And suddenly it’s like, oh, it’s super hard to understand who Diana is and what’s going on without touching base there. I love the fact that you hear all of the ‘being a great hero takes your whole life,’ you know? So there was this wisdom there that they were trying to tell her which is not about being the strongest or the fastest, it’s about these complex observations you have to make during life in order to become a true hero. I love that she doesn’t understand that until that final speech [Reply]

Jenkins saying the 80's mall scene was essential does not bode well for her next Rogue One project.:-) [Reply]

Bad things happen when people get too much power to quickly, which is exactly what we saw with WW1984.
Lol exactly my thoughts. Not every movie a director does is awesome either they are bound to have duds too. This one was definitely more disappointing to me. [Reply]
