I gather this wasn't universally liked in the way its predecessor deservedly was, but I enjoyed it. I like the way it has a different shape from most comic book movies, taking its time in setting up and lingering in her loneliness and self-imposed isolation at the beginning and working in some nice character moments with both Barbara Minerva and Steve Trevor, and finding a genuinely lovely sequence in the fireworks over DC as they take off in the invisible jet. The movie seems to care just as much about who its characters and and what it's about as it does about its action scenes. Gal Gadot is the same empathetic figure she was last time, and Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal both hit the mark for me, including via the latter's embodiment of the 'greed in the 80s' theme that runs through the plot - providing a neat interlock with the period setting and the contrasting sacrifice that WW makes and the way she literally saves the world at the end by reaching the whole world and persuading everyone to act for the greater good.
