Andrew has already watched Wonder Woman: 1984 through twice, while I’ve been cutting up a washing-machine-felted sweater to sew into hats. Have confirmed that the running time of the movie is the exact amount of time it takes me to cut and sew one hat.

Hah. Is it good? I keep hearing it's awful.

Depends on one’s tastes. I wasn’t as interested as Andrew, but Pedro Pascal is very good, and I think they used enough 1980s details for flavour with turning it into camp. Also, the additional credits scene was a nice touch. Already seen people complaining that when people start getting tempted into making wishes an unspecified Middle-Eastern guy wishes for nuclear weapons, but later the US president wishes for “more nukes than the Russians,” so I don’t think they were really singling anybody out, but YMMV.

ETA— Andrew just commented that this one is more “comic-book” than the first movie— he enjoyed both, but he’s a fan of the many decades of comics and appreciated the touches.
