Wonder Woman 1984 (out Dec 26) comes up short when compared to its predecessor. I’m energised by Hans Zimmer’s music score and I think Gal Gadot is a terrific choice for the lead role... but this is a formulaic superhero movie that takes few chances. The plot doesn't make much sense and the villain's motives are weak. Grade: B-.
