Here are some things parents need to know about this movie,

Wonder Woman 1984 is a really good movie with positive role models, but beware because it has some scenes you might not want your child to watch, like (spoiler alert) when Wonder Woman and shirtless Steve are in a bed kissing on top of one another, there are some bloody scenes but its nothing a child can't handle. there is some violence, and there is a thief who drinks and there are some uses of the words, sh*t and b**ch, and the antagonist is not scary. I think the age doesn't matter when watching a movie, it depends on the maturity of that person and if they can or can not handle some scenes whether its you that's watching or your child. But overall wonder woman is a great movie and I would definitely recommend it. I hoped this helped you decide.

Really fun, but kind of shallow

I LOVED the first Wonder Woman movie, so I was super excited for the sequel. Sadly, I was somewhat disappointed with WW84. Visually, this movie is very cool. It looks similar to season 3 of Stranger Things. Oversaturated 1980's nostalgia is everywhere. For Stranger Things I thought it worked well, but I don't think it fits Wonder Woman very well. Also since this came second, it feels like it's trying to piggy back on to the success of other nostalgia-heavy tv shows and movies that have come out recently. The character of Wonder Woman feels very different in this movie. She still is struggling with the loss of Steve, but it has been about 40 years since he died so it's kind of hard to believe she' still hanging on to it. The writing of Diana also feels different than the first one, and even different from Batman V Superman. Can't put my finger on why. I love Steve and thought Chris Pine was great as the character again. But, the way that they had him return is very odd. Almost possessing another man's body after Diana wishes for it? And then Diana sleeps with Steve, but that means she also slept with this strange man who is totally unaware. . .wish they would've handled his return better. I loved Pedro Pascal's villain. He did a fantastic job! But, as much as I love Kristen Wiig I just felt like her character was unnecessary. And the final fight scene with her, the CGI looks really rough. This movie is fun and watchable, but you can't think too hard about it or you're not gonna like it. I think Wonder Woman is a hard character to bring into "modern" times and they have not succeeded at it yet. But hopefully they will bring back the same good writing and story from the first for the third one.

Not what I expected

My brother (in the film industry) hated it. I enjoyed most of it. I let my daughter (8) watch it with us, as she understands violence for effect and the difference in movies vs real life. However, EVERY review talked about the couple waking up in bed together. She doesn't get what sex is, so that could right over her head. However, NONE of the reviews talked about them rolling around and passionately kissing while in bed, laying on each other. This would have been a deal breaker for me on letting her watch it. That is far more than 2 people waking up in bed together. Disappointed in the reviews.

Pretty disappointing

This movie is much, much worse than the first. To start with, the plot is an absolute mess and the overall movie is very hard to get past and to add to that it has a long runtime. The lines for the characters are cringeworthy. The lead character's story is very stupid, Wonder Woman's powers fade away through ought the film which causes her to be extremely weak, which is ok to me because it shows some danger and peril for the character as you can see in the movie, she is very scared to even fight goons, but for some people this plot can be quite annoying. Violence - There are a few battles in the movie with none-mild blood, in the bank fight scene, Wonder Woman is left with a minor cut on her breast-shoulder area and she is crying, but that's the most violence of the movie. Language - Very infrequent, but there are a few, but it won't affect kids at all. Sex/Nudity - There is one scene where Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor wake up on a bed, Wonder Woman moans a bit, but nothing is shown whatsoever. As for nudity, only Wonder Woman's primary outfit is of concern. There is a bit of top cleavage but the real concern of her outfit is the bottom portion. Her outfit has a very short mini-skirt which is much shorter than the one Wonder Woman wore in the first, so it reveals her bare legs and thighs, and occasionally, her panties are visible. In some scenes, her skirt flies up and her bare buttocks are partially exposed, (I would say about 40%-70% of her butt), so some inappropriate areas are shown regarding the main characters outfit which is worn frequently in the movie, but there isn't anything sexual about it. So overall, not a great movie, and I wouldn't recommend, it's ok for kids although.

Refreshing and not cliche'! Great family night movie!

Refreshing, retro, wholesome movie! Thank you, finally something worth watching with strong moral content, totally worth the watch! As as society we have lost the value and beauty of suffering and sacrifice, Hollywood should take a lesson and create more movies like this! No explicit sex scenes, nice!! Great family night movie! 13 and up

Terrible plot. Terrible film.

Don't bother. Big downer after the first one which was so much better. This is a huge flop. Don't waste your time. Nothing insightful and nothing compelling. Just a bunch of nonsense.

This film deal with more of morals and what we sacrifice to get what we want vs what we need. It's not as action packed as other superhero films, but if you want a film to make you reflect on what matters in life, and on truth, this is your go to super hero film!

Good gone bad

The first wonder woman was a feel-good hero type of movie, whereas this one was dark and about envy. I actually almost cut it off about halfway through, but didn't, hoping it would get better. Well it didn't and I have to say it's about the worst movie I have ever seen.
