WONDER WOMAN 1984 is — forgive the term — wonderful. It doubles down on the compassion and cheese that made the first so gre💦at, as well as its tenacious belief in the best of humanity. A magical, sorely needed beacon of hope in this year
I’ve seen #WonderWoman1984 and it’s really strong. There are several powerful and, ahem💯, wonderful moments in it and it ultimately it’s a film that plays so well for the notably turbulent era it’s opening in thanks to its message and inspiring hero. pic.twitter.com/slxij3DS5Y

Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig are the highlights of #WonderWoman1984 for me.Pascal goes ALL IN on a wild portrayal of Max Lord, a conflicted but vile villain.Wiig's Cheetah evolution throughout the movie is h♌eartbreaking yet epic. We need more! #WW84 pic.twitter.com/h💃BIUDkXCFN

I’m so happy to report that #WW84 is an absolute blast from start to 🐠finish. An exceptional compliment to the first film, it’s stuffed w/ heart, hope, love, action, romance & humor. @PattyJenks, @GalGadot & team delivered one of DC's best sequels. I was in tears when it ended. pic.twitter.com/ivPkBFmehd
Watched Wonder Woman 1984 ဣlast night at a virtual press event! It was wonderful!ꦡ Kristen Wiig is phenomenal as Barbara, the opening 10 minutes will bring tears to your eyes ...I absolutely loved it! @pattyjenks and @galgadot knock it out of the park! #WW84 @wonderwomanfilm pic.twitter.com/HVNGmkuorT
Interestingly among the wave of glowing early reports – which are historically more favourable than later reviews – is a quick mention of the whopping 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman 1984 runtime. No problem if you’re watching on HBO Max and can pause the mov𓆉ie at any time, but at 151 minutes it might be a tough ask for some younger relatives to sit through on Christmas Day.

I've seen #WonderWoman1984!@PattyJenks literally made an 80s movie in every way, making it so unique for tod🐓ay. It feels both bigger than the first WW while simultaneously more contained.
