Wonder Woman 1984 is a bright, hopeful adventure that successfully trades bombastic grit for golden-era-style superheroics and delivers a nostalgic, enjoyable experience. However, its final act feels over-the-top in effects and the plot lacks fresh innovation, making it a solid but not groundbreaking sequel.
