Wonder Woman 1984
Context: So, on a road trip around Northland, I realise one tyre is down to the wire, and I limp into Whangarei. On New Years Day, with everything shutdown. I've now got 4 days to kill until a motorcycle workshop opens on Tuesday (hopefully)... and the “National Clock Museum” can only hold my interest for about an hour.
So, to the movies it is... with a limited selection.
Wonder Woman, following the current trend of fucking everything being set in, or referencing, the 80s.
And I get that the silliness, plotholes, overall terribleness, can partially be explained away by “homage to the 80s movies”... but... it was fucking awful. Silliness, plotholes, overall terrible.
And then, on my walk back to dodgy hotel... all the pubs are bloody closed, at like 7pm on a Sunday.
What the fuck?
2 Gal is rather hot out of 5 fuck off the 80s.
Just fuck off.
Edit: and now I've got one more day to kill... and the other movie available looks even worse... Monster Hunter.That sucks. If I was around, is offer you a lift to the coast at least!
The last wonder woman was so shit, everyone raved about it, but Mrs pants and I turned it off about an hour through. Pulling teeth.
Monster hunter is based on a game, so it'll be it pants -
@Machpants I really enjoyed the first WW and was looking forward to this one

I think Gal copped some flack from being a bit flat chested. Certainly does the job for me.
It’s weird after how the original WW was so well received that this one has just died in the arse.

When I see WW, I just read "world war" so enjoying the first one and looking forward to the second goes against what most people experienced at the time I think.
Hot scantily clad women makes far more sense even if the movies are shit.

Edit: and now I've got one more day to kill... and the other movie available looks even worse... Monster Hunter.I agree with most of your issues with it, but it's still nowhere near the turgid levels of Hack Snyders DC output for me while being nowhere near the better DC output (WW1 and Aquaman).
I also don't think the 80s setting was it's problem - the script was nonsensical, it wouldn't have mattered when it was set.

The way they brought back Steve Trevor was completely idiotic. Everything else was magic'd out of nothing but he had to replace some other human ... WTF is up with that?

I'll add a .5 to your Gal is hot rating.

The spoiler references Chris Pine coming back.
I nearly watched it at a friends place Sunday night but that fell through plus I have 14 movie tickets to use by 28 Feb so will be going to everything and anything for the next couple of months.
Plus, I do prefer to see comic book/action type movies in the cinema on the biggest screen possible.

@Kiwiwomble I started The Stand (Although me thinks Stephen King wrote it a wee bit before Covid) although is a series

I assume there is some sort of McGuffin explaining it...but...just let the sacrifice stand

The Dead Pool
No not that shithouse superhero movie starring the dude who used to root Alanis Morrisette......the fifth and thankfully last Dirty Harry Movie. In my previous review I said Sudden Impact was worse but I was wrong. This is. Clint phoning it in even more, pointless shootouts, Jim Carrey pretending to be Axel Rose, Liam Neeson acting like a smarmy cock ( although still better than anything he's done of late ) and a laughably bad car chase WITH A REMOTE CONTROL CAR !
What were you thinking Clint, how could arguably the greatest Cop thriller ever spawn such shitty sequels ? Magnum Force and The Enforcer were both bloody good follow ups but then the 80s hit and Dirty Harry films turned to shit.
1.5 Guns n Roses cameos out of 5 karate expert partners.
