Who else watched Wonder Woman 1984?
Filmmaking by committee. Again.
Way too long, like they were trying to stuff in something for everyone instead of making something *one* audience would love.
But at the same time there were multiple scenes that didn't feel justified, like an earlier scene that set it up was missing; and a first-act setup that you saw coming a mile away ... never paid off in the third act.
The post-credit scene was one of the greatest callbacks ever, to the point that I "left the theater" with a smile on my face despite how mediocre the rest of it was.
And a Netflix oddity: when the closed captioning named the villain for the first time it was like a flashing "Origin Story!" sign. Speaking of the villain, the setup was good and the performance was spectacular. Until the character got lost under the SFX.
