Story: Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman's next big screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord and The Cheetah. 


Likes: The first film was amazing, despite what people thought, rarely does a sequel sucussed its original, but what Patty Jenkinson done here was Incredible, she took a big risk and that risk pay off because it actually that risk that made this film so much better then i expected it to be, Gal Gadot once again proving she perfect for wonder woman. 

Comic accurate moments and more better character development that really bring out who diana true is a person having to deal with the loss of someone she loves, her character really come out with the some of the best writing ive seen for a character yet.

The way they bring steve back is perfectly done in a way its more Believable, the role reversal where Diana was the fish out of water in a world she never seen with a curious way of everything in the first film, this time with great transition chris pine portrays steve like a man out of time it amazingly done with some really emotional and heartfelt moments that brought a tear to my eyes. 

The whole theme around the film being based in 1984 is so perfect its unreal, With Max lord played brilliantly by Pedro Pascal with this Sleazy im rich attitude from the 80s really added to his character, while he pursuit for power leads him to place of trouble but the character development is perfectly done.

Kristen wiig playing Barbara Minerva lot of people were a little worried that she couldn't pull this off cheetah, iam happy to tell you, she pulled it off 100% and that costume design hands down comic book accurate to cheetah look. While i wish we could have see alot more those few moments were was amazing, to be honest she was the other character in the film you really feel for and gives a reason to why she choice to do what she did add a very powerful moment for her character. 

For those that dont know much about DC comic maybe a little confused to what the stone is, its a Dream crystal that grants wishes with Consequences from Apocalips the planet of Darksied so giving you a little bit of knowledge of what it is. 

The Golden suit of Armor is brillant explained in the film, giving a Brief background, which adds the story. While i think most will hate the slow emotional moments, which i personal thinks adds more character development allowing the film to progress better, as well as the Great movie soundtrack by Hans zimmer really add this emotional and powerful moments to movie. 

Absolute Perfect sequel despite a few nicspicks, the beginning scene hold better meaning toward the end which was a nice touch on film, really add that final touch to why she Left humanity for a while because she saw the darkness in the world. 


Dislikes: i feel the fight with Cheetah could've been a little longer and her final form could've been longer in the film, but i understood the direction of the film.   


Overall: Emotional, intense, comic book accurate.


Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9.5 out of 10 for Sequel.
