    It wasnt all that great. Not as good as the first or Justice League. 1-10. I would say a 5. Of course Gal Gadot is gorgeous. She was good in the Fast and Furious Movies too.
    I just got through watching WW84 and I wasn't impressed, either. Too much comic relief in the beginning with the Kristen Wiig character, too much screen time for the villain throughout, a generally muddled premise and action/fight sequences that were mostly pretty boring. The CGI work seemed sub-par and unconvincing. Not the worst DC superhero movie, obviously, but not even in the same league with the first Wonder Woman film or with Justice League. I'd give it two-and-a-half stars out of five and I think that's generous.

    Make your own popcorn, pour your own drinks, sit back and enjoy a movie without someone kicking you in the back or having running commentary with someone on a cell phone
    I'm happy with my 55" screen for most things, but a theatre-sized screen really does add something special with some movies. There are some films that I can't imagine never having watched on a big, big screen, like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and (much more recently) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. They make 110" and 120" inch sets now, but I'd have to remodel the house to accommodate a screen that size. For most of what I watch 55" is just fine.

    I think they will start building homes with tv screens built into the walls of over 10 ft., or devises that will project (remember the original big screen tv's were actually projection screens) with maybe a pull down "screen" hidden in the ceiling. The idea of really big TV screens is so 1984 it seems almost a given it will happen.

    I think the first time I saw a "big screen t.v." was in the 1966 version of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.



    That seemed very futuristic at the time.
