DC Movie Review: Wonder Woman 1984

 This is a very enjoyable music, but sometimes it is a bit too much.  Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) works in the Smithsonian, where coworker Barbara (Kristin Wiig) has received delivery of a special stone.  She wishes to be like Wonder Woman and begins to get her powers.  However Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) has been stufying rocks, and steals it when he sees it.  It grants wishes.  Wonder woman had wished that her love would come back, and Lord wishes to actually be the stone.  Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) does come back, her boyfriend from forty years before.  Lord needs more and more people to ask him for wishes, as this increases his power.  He finally goes big time, but Wonder Woman knows something has to change or the whole world will be destroyed. 

Lots of neat action.  A great fight between Barbara and Wonder Woman.  But nothing works as long as people as asking for wishes.  Lord has to remember his son and who he is or the world is lost.

Movie Review: ***^Despicable Me II (2013)

Gru (Steve Carell) finds love in the sequel to Despicable Me.  Gru has settled into homelife.  He and his minions are caring for a family, putting on clown acts and such duties.  However Lucy (Kristin Wiig) has other plans.  Lucy is a secret agent, and Gru joins her in finding an evil villain who has been terrorizing the world.  Gru has an inkling who the villain might be, but is drawn off the trail and left to himself.  His suspicions are confirmed, but things are worse than even he feared.  A new gone has been devised which his converting his cute little minions into terrible monsters.  Things look pretty glum.
I found this presentation enjoyable, and tells us we are all entitled to love.
