Last movie you saw... Pinned

^  I saw it, too. I enjoyed it but I don't have the same expectations for DC movies that I have for Marvel movies.

Margot Robbie was brilliant as Harley Quinn! The movie was better than expected, however it's doing very poorly on box office so we better pray they will green light the sequel..

DC is what it is. Saw a trailer of new WW (1984), which looked promising though.

I am optimistic for that one. To me, Wonder Woman is clearly the best of the DCEU. I'm hoping they get it right again, and I generally enjoy movies with jokes/references about the '80s.

Agreed, based on trailer it looked really good. Not sure if bringing back Steve Trevor is the right call, but we'll see. Hopefully it can live up to the expectations set by the first movie.

Really good, the 1º and 2º

It was kind of a mixed bag.  I thought that Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska were great as the angels.  They did a great job, I thought, of capturing that kind of light-heartedness that the Cameron Diaz movies from back in the early 2000s had going for them while trying to make them a slight bit more serious for the modern audience that wants that with their spy films.  If you're a fan of Naomi, then you'll be glad to know that the film primarily centers around her character, as she more or less drives the plot forward.  I thought Kristen Stewart was fantastic.  She's really funny in this, which was surprising.  What really holds it back is the direction and the script.  It's pretty easy to figure out what the twists are going to be, and the movie beats its audience over the head far too much with its message, rather than simply letting the film organically try to put that message out there. 

It's a shame that there probably won't be a sequel.  I would love to see the three main actresses come back for another one, although perhaps with different filmmakers behind the camera. 

Thank you for the analysis @VS19 

Kristen Stewart being funny? I didn't even know she could smile, she's like a Hollywood version of Isabella Mathers.  All jokes aside, Imma watch this one just because of Naomi. I'll get back to you after watching it.

You'll get to see her smile in this one.    I'd like to see her do more of this kind of work, although with better material, as I'm a big fan of hers, but it was good to see her break out of what is no doubt her usual style of acting. 

Could have used more of Patrick Stewart as well.  He's clearly having fun here.
