Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
This film was like they had a writer's challenge about who could think of the most ridiculous ass pulls and afterwards they put it all together and filmed it.
They went all out of their way to explain that Steve materialized in somebody else's body (which is creepy as fukk when you think about it because that guy was essentially randomly removed from existence to make way for Steve but neither Diana nor Steve seemed to care), but then every other wish has just stuff materializing out of thin air so it's just an unnecessary convoluted way to set up the end.
And everyone lost something precious in return for their wish but the only thing Barbara had to give up was being nice?
Then there's the Invisible Jet scene where Diana out of nowhere explains and uses the power of making objects invisible.
And then she learns how to fly out of nowhere because Steve told her that flying is just knowing how to ride wind and air currents.
Oh yeah, she does that before the moment where she dons an armor with wings which makes them look completely pointless on top of just looking inconvenient as fukk.
Don't get me started on that ridiculous scene in the oval office where there conveniently are some whiteboards showcasing advanced satellite communication technology that Max Lord just so happens to need for his exact scheme. And then they throw the only limitation they set up to his power (he has to be in touch with the person making the wish) in the bushes because the president explains the satellites take over all communication technology by sending particles that "touch" electronics.
Of course once Diana and Steve show up to stop Max (after showing them tracking him driving to the White House with some hidden camera technology in Diana's closet or something like that, I'm not sure because who the fukk knows how to hack street cameras from a remote location in 1984?) Barbara randomly shows up as well. How did she know to be there? No explanation is given and why should they because they didn't even bother to make Max and/or Barbara seem even remotely surprised when they discover Diana is apparently some kind of superpowered being in ancient armor. They just roll with it like no big deal. Terrible, terrible writing.
Add the worst form of 80s nostalgia ever (because the 80s is wacky fashion, right? Don't you just love wacky 80s fashion? Don't you wish for some more wacky fashion from the 80s? All you have to do is wish for it and we'll give you more wacky 80s fashion!), a weird campy tone for its opening act that is completely removed after 45 minutes or so, those 45 minutes actually feeling more like 4 hours and action scenes that play out like nobody involved could think of a way how someone would sensibly make use of a lasso in any fight that is not against a cow (and honestly, neither do I). An utterly stupid, stupid waste of time.
