WW84 Has Problems. Lots of Them.
Patty Jenkin’s Wonder Woman was fabulous back when it hit theaters in 2017. We all agreed it was the best movie in the DC Cinematic Universe up to that point (if you don’t count the Dark Knight trilogy). It was a superhero movie that didn’t do anything astounding or terribly new, but checked all the…
