Wonder Woman 1984 -- boring!

The posters of "Wonder Woman 1984" are colorful, gorgeous, and full of the sense of the times, which is very attractive to me, but I never expected the film to be so sloppy and boring!

It's a movie that's screwed up all over the place. First of all, the 1984 setting in the title is useless, because I don't feel a little bit of the unique charm of the 80's. The costume of Wonder Woman herself is not the 80's style, but her white dress looks like the enchantress style in the noir movies of the 50's.

Because the explosive heads, large shoulder pads, bat shirts, plastic oversized jewelry, one-piece high-slit fitness clothes, and garish makeup in the 1980s are too far from today's aesthetics, the protagonist is not suitable for wearing, so the crew only let some people Actors wear these fancy costumes and act as a background of human flesh. In addition, the episode of Leopard Girl entering the gym attracted the attention of many viewers, but unfortunately the duration was too short to be enjoyable; the heroine letting her boyfriend change clothes and play cosplay also reflected some of the fashion at that time, but it seemed very blunt (usually such bridges are Women keep changing clothes, scratching their heads and making poses for their boyfriends to see, and taking pictures in turn has a feminist connotation, but it is unnecessary).

The same is true of breakdance, which swept the world in the 1980s. It was performed by extras on the streets. While the most popular music of 1984 had gone from disco to new wave, there was nothing in the soundtrack. Maybe Hans Zimmer couldn't find the synth soundtrack at the time? Or just being lazy. His soundtrack has become more and more parallel imports, and the drumbeat of the bad street makes people's stomach hurt.

As for the movie itself, four words - lackluster. The "Iron Girls N Athletics Competition" at the beginning is quite interesting, and it took a lot of thought to complete it in one go, and it is full of beauty, but after that, the shopping malls to catch robbers are very cliché and low-level, and the number of paths is similar to that of "Shazam". In particular, Diana frequently winked at the little black girl and made poses, which made people feel very greasy. The goddess temperament in her body turned into the mother temperament of a big sister or even an aunt, which is regrettable.

Especially when it comes to tense action scenes, children will suddenly appear with their arms stretched out and wait for the big sister to save them. Originally, I was very nervous, but when I saw the child crying there, I was completely discouraged. Can you learn from John Woo, replace the child with a white dove, and fly!

The final "climax" of the film is also a fight. Diana puts on a cumbersome "Golden Saint Seiya" costume to meet the Leopard Girl's beating. It can be said that this scene is very similar to Harry Berry's raspberry work "Catwoman" more than ten years ago, and it does not seem to be much improved.

The villain in the film is very weak, and only speaks loudly. In the end, he suddenly changed his mind and was awakened by his son's conscience. If he couldn't make it up, he just used family affection! Pooh!

In the middle of the movie, Diana recalled the dead ghost for more than an hour. I had to watch it with tasteless 3D glasses, and I did not stir up any waves in my heart. Like Su Daji, a dead ghost resurrected from a corpse and parasitized on a strange handsome guy. Has he considered the host's mood? When the dead ghost died for the second time, the handsome stranger returned to normal, and Diana recognized him on the street without expressing any apology, as if she had used someone's body as a spare tire! The goddess has actually become an urban greasy sister. I don't agree with this setting emotionally.

It can be said that this film is the worst comic book movie I have ever seen, even worse than "Catwoman" and Liu's version of "Mulan". Although I really liked the first "Wonder Woman", I really don't want to give this one a star.
