It’s an awesome thirst-quencher for blockbuster action and comic book surprises.
Additionally not to be undervalued is the impact of seeing such a massive, action-heavy production play out with bold, exciting set pieces in 2020. This has been a year severely lacking in blockbuster excitement, with the genre films we have seen mostly limited in budget and therefore scope, and in that sense Wonder Woman 1984 is not just a sip of water following a trek through the desert, but a discovered oasis. Even without factoring in the pandemic, theater closures, and release date shifts, however, the film is still refreshingly massive and packed end-to-end with rousing chases, explosive combat, and big surprises from the comics and Wonder Woman history that some fans probably never expected to see on the big screen.
