It did not disappoint. it was splendid. I've watched it 3 times already, Fellows hit a home run with the script. All the characters are in true form. There are plots and sub plots galore, and there's the wonderful castle. I don't know why some made a fuss about the Gay stuff, it was a small part of the movie and was in good taste. There is a follow up movie that was supposed to be shot last summer, but the virus messed it up. They hope to shoot this year. The first one cost $13 mil to make, and raked in $237 mil worldwide. Those numbers would have any producer lining up 5 sequels. $13 million won't even get you a major star these days, let alone make a whole movie. With DVD sales it will earn 20 times what it cost to make it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Will Smith was paid $17 million for the movie "Bad Boys For Life".The first Bad Boys was released in 1995, and a sequel, Bad Boys II, followed in 2003. Wonder Woman earned $38 million on its opening day June 2, 2017m so Gal Gadot got paid $10 million to star in "Wonder Woman 1984". Warner Brothers said WW84 earned $16.7 million for the three day domestic boxoffice, and up to $28.5 million as of today Sunday January 3, 2021. I hope they sold a lot of HBO MAX subscriptions. |

The first one was a yawner, way too silly and long. It was a passing fad, they're over it now. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Worldwide Box Office as a percentage of production budget (300% is dissapointing, while over 400% is considered reasonable) DC extended Universe
Marvel cinematic universe

Not sure what I saw Very confusing Entertaining because of a lot of action But it was weird because in action movies, there is generally somebody to root for This movie was so confusing, you cant root for anybody because you are still trying to figure out WTF is going on The last part of the movie with the huge squads of soldiers, one set going forward and one set backwards was hard to follow Its a neat concept but I think the fictional execution of the idea was just too confusing 5 for action. Action is superb. 1 for too confusing Overall I give it 3 out of 5 Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Yeah, I saw it twice. I soured on it during the second viewing. It’s kind of mess. I thought this would come together better now that I knew what was going on, but it’s still incoherent. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
