‘Wonder Woman 1984’ is a successful mess, so Warner is making another one

[Chris Smith]

• Warner Bros. just announced that Wonder Woman 1984 has been so successful during the hybrid theater-and-streaming opening weekend that the studio is already fast-tracking Wonder Woman 3.
• The reason why so many people wanted to watch Wonder Woman 1984 is the first film in the franchise, which was Warner’s first real success in the DC universe.
• The sequel hardly measures up, despite all the hype. Wonder Woman 1984 is a massive mess, one that Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, and Kristen Wiig can’t save.

Wonder Woman 1984 was one of the most anticipated movies of 2020, the sequel to the first successful Warner Bros. film in the mostly disastrous DCEU. 1984 was delayed a few times because of the raging novel coronavirus pandemic until the Warner folks decided to do something totally unexpected. The film would premiere in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day in the US, which was just the surprise we needed this holiday season. Unfortunately, 2020 struck again. Wonder Woman 1984 is such a massive disappointment that I’m glad I didn’t have to see it in a theater. I already renounce my wish to see the sequel and can’t say I’m thrilled about the trilogy's final installment. Because, yes, Wonder Woman 1984 is immensely successful, both at the box office and online. Many people were excited to see the film that Warner announced expedited plans to make Wonder Woman 3. But rather than rushing the production of the next part, the execs should take a hard look at what reviews are saying and maybe try to turn the next one into a film people would actually want to watch.
