like a mang on the back

When I watched "Wonder Woman 1984", it gave me the feeling that I was sitting on pins and needles, like a light on my back, like a choke in my throat. This one is definitely a regression in all aspects of the previous one. As a commercial, it's significantly less entertaining, if not at all. From this point of view, it just fails! The action scenes of the film are absolutely disastrous, and despite the visual spectacles of fireworks and hanging lightning, the first fifteen minutes of the "circus show" are extremely unimaginative, with five or six people jumping around, riding Horse riding, shooting an arrow, these rotten actions that can be seen in ordinary times can only be said to be boring. Moreover, in the shopping mall behind, the action scenes on the road and in the White House deliberately use a lot of slow motion to show the strength and speed of the heroine, but it destroys the original action scheduling, and the performance is very boring. Especially in that chase scene, the heroine's running is particularly not particular about it! Without the presentation of the sense of speed, the look and feel is like panning, which leads to the effect of the whole chase scene is child's play. In the final climax, although the design of the anti-climax does have some cleverness, it also highlights the theme of human nature in the movie, but the ending fight is too boring, and there is no beauty and logic at all. When the audience actually sees this anti-climax design, it will only feel boring and have a feeling of being deceived. It seems that due to the failure of its own DC universe and the success of the Marvel universe, "Wonder Woman 1984" has become very young, and the plot appears naive, bullying the audience's IQ. It's true that the setting of making a wish (with a price to be paid) is good, but it's very poor in practice, preaching every moment and looking like a children's book. There is nothing new in the setting of the characters. The settings of the two bosses are obviously backward compared to the previous work, and the charm of the two bosses cannot be felt at all. Correspondingly, the related plots will be much weaker. In addition, the film's description of the background of the 1980s is definitely not enough. Just relying on a dressing show or a museum visit is definitely not enough. The protagonist is almost insulated from the background of this era, and there is almost no interaction. The background of the era is only superficial, and it is not as interesting as the background of the first World War in the previous work. There is at least one detail of the heroine eating ice cream in the film, which is completely absent in this work. Besides, the title of this film also has "1984", but the director did not show the so-called "big brother" because of 1984, except for the live broadcast at the end, but there is an insult, which seems a little bit. in-depth title.

    It's so suitable to watch in such an atmosphere at the end of the year. I can feel that the director has too many things to say about 2020, and he took advantage of Chaoying's shell to be warm.

    3.5. higher than expected. The love scene is good, the cartoon feeling is good (allegorically, it achieves a balance that "Captain 1" and "Goddess 1" cannot achieve), and the third act is really good (only for 2020, only for Warners). "The Great Dictator" in this era does not necessarily have to look like "The Great Dictator", and its utility is not determined by its appearance. So many people refuse to understand the world "cartoonically", perhaps it is also closely related to the complexity of the world? Salute to Patty Jenkins, when the time comes, she'll have her own Watchmen.

  • Barbara Minerva: You've already had everything, while people like me have had nothing. Well, it's my turn. And you are not taking it from me. Ever!

    Wonder Woman: What is it costing you?

    Barbara Minerva: What is it costing me?

    Wonder Woman: If it's the monkey's paw, it takes as much as it gives. Yes, you're strong... but what did you lose, Barbara? Where's your warmth, your joy, your humanity? You're attacking innocent men, Barbara. Look at yourself.

    Barbara Minerva: Forget about me. What is it costing you? Yeah, yeah. That's right. Get used to it. If you ever go after Max Lord... or hurt him in any way, I will destroy you.

  • Max Lord: Poor Diana. Why be such a hero? You could have kept your pilot and your powers, if only you'd join me. Wanna reconsider? I'm a forgiving man! You want him back? Just say the word. You can have it all! You just want to have it!

    Wonder Woman: I've never wanted anything more. But he's gone... and that's the truth. And everything has a price. One I'm not willing to pay. Not any more. This world was a beautiful place just as it was... and you can't have it all. You can only have the truth. And the truth is enough. The truth is beautiful. So look at this world and look at what your wish is costing it. You must be the hero. Only you can save the day. Renounce your wish if you want to save this world.

    Max Lord: Why would I when it's finally my turn? The world belongs to me! You can't stop me. No one can!

    Wonder Woman: I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to everyone else.
