As the movie’s title indicates, the latest film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is set in the 1980s, where Diana Prince ( Gal Gadot) leads a mostly solitary life working as an anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institute and moonlighting as an anonymous hero. And though it tries, Wonder Woman 1984 ( WW84) struggles to speak to this moment and deliver a coherent message. But in 2020, the world looks very different than it did in 2017.
#WONDER WOMAN 1984 ROTTEN TOMATOES MOVIE#
Clinton herself praised Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, remarking that the film was “just as inspirational as suspected a movie about a strong, powerful woman in a fight to save the world from international disaster would be,” clearly drawing parallels between the titular heroine and herself.Ĭatapulted to success in part by Women’s March protesters and pussy-hat-wearers hungry for the feminist triumph they had been cheated out of in real life, Wonder Woman took the world by storm. Critics deemed Wonder Woman “ inspiring” and “ touching.” Moviegoers reported crying during the film’s battle sequences, overcome with emotion as women warriors vanquished enemies in lockstep. When Wonder Woman hit theaters in 2017, it was primed for success: Many were still reeling from Hillary Clinton’s shocking loss to Donald Trump, and audiences were therefore eager to escape into a universe where a woman emerges victorious against an absurd, masculine foe (David Thewlis as mustachioed villain Ares fit the bill).
