Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

My Review

Gal Gadot continues in her popular role as the world’s most attractive DC Comics superhero in “Wonder Woman 1984.” This sequel of the 2017 picture has Diana Prince working at the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C. in the 1980’s, a move to the future from the previous World War II setting. Director Patty Jenkins (“Wonder Woman” 2017) continues the high quality production values she employed in the 2017 romp. Patty co-wrote the screenplay with Geoff Johns and Dave Callaham.

Returning actors with Gadot include Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Connie Nielsen as Diana’s mother, and Robin Wright as her aunt. Joining the cast are Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Kristoffer Polaha, and Stuart Milligan as the President of the United States. The venerable Hans Zimmer composed the musical score for the watchable “Wonder Woman 1984,” which underperformed at the box office for producer Gal Gadot, Atlas Entertainment, The Stone Quarry, and Warner Bros. Pictures.

It was filmed in Washington, D. C., and northern Virginia. “Wonder Woman 1984” was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards, for Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel, and Worst Supporting Actress (Wiig).
