Fans must have felt they waited too long to see âWonder Woman 1984.â They were more than open with their criticism, suggesting it lacked plenty and didnât live up to the first film.
Movie critic Bruce Miller says Wonder Woman 1984 whirs and zooms over more territory than Superman ever could. Gal Gadot appears more assured as the lasso-twirling superhero and Chris Pine is welcome comic relief as her misplaced beau. But itâs Kristen Wiig as that needy Barbara who gets the biggest transformation. Also this week, Pixar s Soul may be a bit heavy for younger viewers but itâs the perfect picture for older people plagued by a pandemic. Touching and uplifting, âSoulâ says plenty about what matters most. It hits us right in the middle of our hearts and pushes us to appreciate all that we have, not all that we wish for.

At the final audition for the new version of âKung Fu,â actress Olivia Liang looked around the room and realized it was the first time she had gotten this far for a role and everyone was Asian.
âYou hear about that moment where an actor is going to be in a corner with headphones on and theyâre like, âDonât bother me because youâre my competition. Itâs you or me.â But there was no sense of that in the room at all.â
After each reading, âWe would all get into a big group hug like, âYou did it.â We had just never seen anything like this â an all-Asian cast on a major network.â
