"[I]t's also brimming with the same wonder and joy as the first film, the rare movie - of any stripe - that doesn't just want to believe in the goodness of people, but is willing to make them truly work for it. That's superheroic." - Kate Erbland, indieWire
"A notable improvement on its already great predecessor, Wonder Woman 1984 is exactly the kind of bright and hopeful movie the character's legacy deserves." - Matt Purslow, IGN
"In a year when the cinemagoing experience could be categorised as 'much too little', you can't really blame WW84 for giving us a bit too much." - Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
"Director Patty Jenkins has followed that original film... with something much longer, cornier and wobblier, but which is energised with a streak of pure movie-star enchantment that recalls the sparkly-eyed uplift of the Christopher Reeve Superman films." - Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)
"Maybe Wonder Woman will be the one to save us, after all." - Mary Sollosi, Entertainment Weekly
"[D]irector Patty Jenkins and her star, Gal Gadot, have mastered the art of cornball conviction." - Justin Lang, Los Angeles Times
"There's still a lot to love." - David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
"Jenkins is an enormously talented filmmaker on whom the studio took a chance - one that's seldom questioned when conferred upon men - and she proves her worth by never letting the spectacle drown out the performances." - Peter Debruge, Variety
"As candy-coloured and bright as the first film was all muddy dark-blues, Wonder Woman 1984 has an enlivening sense of bubbly pop to it." - Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail (Canada)
"This is a throwback piece of pure pop entertainment." - Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun Times
"The film's wickedly pungent social satire must occasionally step aside for superheroics, of course. And while the reteaming of Gadot and Jenkins provides the expected thrills and excitement, this sequel shares the significant flaw of its predecessor." - Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
"A vibrant and virtuous adventure packed with all the heart and heroism we've come to expect from DC's shining light. Wonder Woman 1984 really is the hero 2020 needed all along." - Ben Travis, Empire Magazine
"If WW84 can't quite reach the heights of the first film, it still soars beautifully when it matters most." - Angie Han, Mashable
"Wonder Woman 1984 is solid where it counts, maudlin in the way its fans need it to be, and, similarly, just funny enough to be charming. For all that goes unsaid, the writing is even occasionally clever." - K. Austin Collins, Rolling Stone
"The same elements that made "Wonder Woman" such a pleasure to watch are present in "WW84," including the supremely self-possessed Gadot, who plays the title character with the same grace and understatement she brought to the initial installment." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
"The ambitions of "Wonder Woman 1984" may be just outside its grasp, but it seldom feels predestined or predictable - a preciously rare commodity in the genre." - Jack Coyle, Associated Press
