Wonder Woman 1984

The new Wonder Woman 1984 movie was panned by some critics.  Personally I don’t see a problem.  We are talking about the 1980s and the movie played like a 1980s movie.  I think critics missed that point.

Warner Bros. presents Wonder Woman 1984 on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Code Combo Pack.

The gist of the movie is that to be careful what you wish for-because you just might get it.  Steve Trevor returns, Barbara Minerva obtains powers equal to, or stronger, than Wonder Woman at a terrible price and as the movie progresses others who had their wishes fulfilled soon realize that sometimes its best to leave wishes unfulfilled.

Wonder Woman has just come into the peak of her powers-powers that are tested as her best friend transforms into her greatest nemesis: Cheetah.

Diana (Wonder Woman) must cope with the return of her long lost love only to lose him again and must battle a phenomenon that threatens the world-a threat of its own making.

Look for lots of action (I especially like the scenes on Paradise Island when Diana was a small girl and the fight with Cheetah), some genuinely funny moments and the homage to the ‘all about me decade’: the 1980s.

If you’re expecting the same type of storyline as seen in the first Wonder Woman movie you will be surprised and delighted by the Wonder Woman 1984 storyline.

Having lived through the 1980s, I can identify with all that went on during the decade as represented in the movie.

This is a much more personal movie that the first and it offers a real insight of what makes Wonder Woman tick and why she remained hidden all those decades after the movie’s events.

Look for lots of extras such as a ‘making of’ featurette, several spotlight shorts, a gag reel and a retro remix.
