Wonder Woman 1984 is a great entertainer that is sure to give viewers their money’s worth. The scene of the young Diana in the beginning is thrilling to say the least. The entry of adult Diana is straight out of a Salman Khan film. In fact, the film is unabashedly commercial, unlike most of the DC Universe films. On the flipside, the ending is a bit lengthy and quite preachy. These factors dilute the impact. Speaking of performances, Gal Gadot, as expected, is stunning and suits the part to the T. That she would rock in the action avatar was expected. However, she shines in the emotional scenes as well beautifully. Chris Pine is excellent and the manner in which he comes back from the dead is well done. His aircraft scene is adorable and gives a déjà vu of a Disney film. Kristen Wiig is a real surprise. Her track is impressive and she does full justice. Pedro Pascal as the megalomaniac villain is over the top but it works big time for his role. Connie Nielsen (Hippolyta; Diana’s mother) and Robin Wright (Antiope) are lovely in their cameo appearances. Hans Zimmer’s music is a bit overpowering but works big time in enhancing impact. Matthew Jensen‘s cinematography is breathtaking. All in all, Wonder Woman 1984 is a big-screen spectacle and deserves a watch in cinemas!
My rating – **** out of 5!
