CBR compiled many of the reviews for Wonder Woman 1984, with many raining praises upon the DC film as a cure for 2020.

CBR's review by Meagan Damore declares, "is absolutely worth the wait," noting that "Gal Gadot adds world-weary layers to the character that weren't present in the first film, creating a striking distinction between the naive, wide-eyed Diana of 1918 and the cool, collected Amazon warrior we meet in 1984."

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times: "Three years after the visionary director Patty Jenkins and the perfect-for-the-part Gal Gadot teamed up for the beautifully rendered, surprisingly deep mega-hit 'Wonder Woman,' the oft-delayed sequel will be released in U.S. theaters and on HBO Max on Dec. 25 — and it’s a Christmas gift equal parts thrilling, comedic, romantic and action-packed, with a tone reminiscent of the Richard Donner 'Superman' movies and the 2000s 'Spider-Man' films."

Angelica Jade Bastién, Vulture: "The disappointing sequel highlights not only the dire state of the live-action superhero genre in film, but the dire state of Hollywood filmmaking as a whole."

Perri Nemiroff, YouTube: "The sequel takes a powerful core concept and digs into it from three primary perspectives. Two don't land, but Diana's journey winds up being the strongest of the bunch, giving Gal Gadot the chance to excel in her strongest emotional scene yet."

As an archaeologist, Diana who works at the Smithsonian Museum, is a Wonder Woman who has extraordinary superpowers, said to be the strongest hero in the world. In 1984, Wonder Woman is in desperate deadly danger in face of an enormous conspiracy of the businessman Max, who sings loudly to fulfill people's desires, and a mysterious foe, Cheetah. Can Wonder Woman stop the world’s collapse alone?

Directed and co-written by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman 1984 stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal and Natasha Rothwell. The film arrives in theaters and HBO Max on Dec. 25, while debuting theatrically in international markets starting on Dec. 16.
