Everyone’s favorite humanity-saving, golden lasso-wielding, Amazonian warrior goddess is back — as are Chris Pine and the ’80s — in Warner Bros.’ “Wonder Woman 1984.”
Ranging from lukewarm to glowing, reviews are in for the highly anticipated sequel starring Gal Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins, who also helmed 2017’s groundbreaking superheroine blockbuster.
After multiple delays prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the DC action flick is finally set to debut in select theaters and on HBO Max Dec. 25.
“This extravagant, genially overstuffed sequel may be a product of 2020, but its spirit feels gratifyingly in sync with 1984 — a year that, for all its Orwellian associations, predates the chaos and cynicism of our pandemic-stricken, politically deranged moment,”
“The pandemic’s toll on moviegoing, and the temporary suspension of our collective blockbuster fatigue, may account in part for why this picture makes such welcome company.”
Originally slated for a summer release, “Wonder Woman 1984" also stars “Saturday Night Live” alum Kristen Wiig and “The Mandalorian” himself, Pedro Pascal, as dueling villains. Here’s a sampling of what critics are saying.

“Why rein Wonder Woman in at all? ‘Wonder Woman 1984' is, in so many ways, a more ambitious, expansive movie than its predecessor, tackling more in the way of dramatic chaos, big feelings, and convoluted archaeological villainy,” writes K. Austin Collins.
“But Diana Prince herself, as resumed by Gal Gadot, feels a little less complicated, her personality even more razor-focused, more straightforwardly virtuous, than before. It makes all the excitement that arises in the movie’s button-busting two-and-half-hour runtime feel somehow narrow, too, even as the premise expands.”
