This movie was a let down compared to the first film. Although the ending to the first movie was unfortunate.
For this movie there was a lot of things that i liked but mostly disliked. For one i loved how they showed Steve, just enthralled into the 80’s. Anything and everything was exciting to him and it felt genuine. Diane who at this point has went 70 years without Steve and still feels like she lost him the day before. I understand loss but 70 years of it was to much time to has stayed motionless on someone she barely knew to begin with.

The two main problems were the bad guys. Maxwell was an interesting character and i understand his goal of using the crystal but then he just went way over the top and i still don’t understand the reasoning for it. Like why not just wish for oil in his reserves and then just go on to be rich? There really wasn’t a need for the over the top ‘villainy’ vibe to be honest. As for Kristen Wigs character… like why was she in it? She had no part in this film to have made sense. She’s WW’s arch villain and she just gets reduced to corky, shy girl who gets a chance to be cool and sexy but then decides to just go full cheetah and then only gets 2 mins of screen time?

Then there were two things that stood out to me that just didn’t make any sense. First off why did she need the gold suit of armor? In the trailer it made it seem like she was gonna go up against something big that would require it right? But she doesn’t.. She refunds her wish and gets her powers back but at that point she doesn’t know Barbara’s character received more power from Maxwell so there was no reason to get it other then to look cool?.. it seems like there should have been more to it then just being fancy.

And then there was the final scene with Maxwell when Diane had the lasso on his foot.. Like how? That kind of thing just throws you from the film entirely and makes you cringe at it like hard.. Like why not show her throw the lasso one last time, wrapping it on his foot and then start the dialogue?? He doesn’t know its power, he has no clue what it does so why not use it as a way to get him to see she’s ‘weak’ and then boast about his power? That would work out the same way that doesn’t involve ‘ex-machina-lasso’..

If you liked this movie, awesome. Im not here to shit on the film and make it out to be a horrible thing. Im just sad it wasn’t as big as the first film.

Also i went into this movie a little tilted only because they retconned her story from BvS… Like you can’t say she backed away from humanity for 100 years and then expect everyone she saves to keep her secret…………………. barf
