I am glad it fails. For so many reasons.

I’m not a fan of the super hero genre, but my wife said it is unwatchable.

[Can I tell you about more dumbfounding stuff? Wonder Woman wishes for her dead boyfriend to come back to life, and he does, in the person of Chris Pine, who’s the best thing in the movie. He’s been gone since World War I, and so the world of 1984 fills him with awe — especially when she takes him into the subway and he marvels at the train coming through.]
The subway existed before WWI. You’d think the Pine character would expect people to be commuting to work by air. I bet plenty of people who grew up with the Jetsons on TV back in the 60’s thought we’d be flying from our homes to the grocery store and everywhere else by now.

My son wants to watch it. From what I’m seeing here and elsewhere, I’m not really sure I want to!

They just had a lousy story line. The character of Stagg came from the comic, but the story just fell flat, especially the unbelievable end. If they were going to pull from the comic, lots better stories. Glad I didn’t pay theater prices.

WW84 is a fascinating movie and really a perfect vehicle for the era in that so many different people can focus their wokeness, triggers, and gripes on the movie and claim that their own particular gripe is the singular worst thing about the movie.
From the “wonder woman raped a guy” trope, to the fashion, to various aspects of air flight, to the indignity of allowing an Israeli actress to touch Arab children and oh so much more. Every twitter addict who hates the movie is so eager to showcase their ideology and WW84 lets every one of them be right. It’s a masterpiece of failure. If only it were a halfway good movie.

I am reminded a bit of the historic ignorance in the awful
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie--which came out in 2008.
It was filled with anti-anti-Communist tripe--and a terrible faux pas in geography. When Indy is packing to leave the university after the KGB tried to abduct him and his son, he is asked by Marcus Brody where he will go. Indy responds that he is going to go teach at the University of Leipzig.
Leipzig was located in East Germany.
I realized that the screen writers simply had no real grounding in the actual Cold War.

Did they include all those celebrities without makeup singing Imagine to us peons in the movie soundtrack?

Did they include all those celebrities without makeup singing Imagine to us peons in the movie soundtrack? Of which, Gal Gadot, took part, as well.

As the article says, HBO is streaming it for free. That’s the only positive thing I can say, having watched it

It was definitely my favorite Lea Thompson and Jeffrey Jones movie.
