★★★☆☆

WW 1984 achieved something few sequels can, it didn’t suck. Let’s be honest, most every sequel of every successful franchise sucks.

Okay, admittedly the first movie didn’t aim all that high. It tried to be somewhat faithful to a comic book story line and it gave us lots of highly athletic beautiful people to look at along with some action. I watched the first movie immediately in front of this one so I could have an accurate memory.

They leaned a little more on the cheesy factor and special effects this time, but hey, it’s a comic book story. Besides, Gal Gadot is still stunning after three kids. That’s not a lucky gene pool, that’s a massive amount of time in the gym combined with healthy eating. I’m really glad some people are willing to suffer like that so they can be smoking hot on camera. I’m also glad I don’t have to live like that since I have no desire to be on camera.

WW 1984 took an interesting approach to bringing Chris Pine back into the story line. This story is set far too many years after WW II for them to come up with some nowhere near plausible story of his character surviving the explosion of the last movie. Besides he would be in his 80s or 90s and not sexy to the ladies and others who find him such now. A wishing artifact that enables body snatching.

Oh, it can grant so much more, for a price. The invisible girl becomes the most popular, interesting, sexy, bad-ass woman in the eyes and minds of all around her. The same people who couldn’t notice her before. That’s really where the story begins.

Of course it wouldn’t be Wonder Woman unless she was madly in love with an unattainable male. But is he that unattainable when he has snatched a new body?
