Wonder Woman 1984 Trailer Review: 8 Ups & 1 Down

Down...

1. No Glimpse Of The Real Cheetah

Wonder Woman 1984 Cheetah

Though the trailer does give us a few minor glimpses of Kristen Wiig's Barbara Ann Minerva, we weren't privy to her more, well, ferocious tendencies. Now, as fans were incredibly excited about the prospect of seeing Cheetah on the big-screen, it's a little disappointing that they didn't even catch a glimpse of her official appearance.

Now, given Wonder Woman's affinity for remotely realistic landscapes (you know, Gods and Themyscira aside), a logical explanation as to why we didn't see Cheetah in action might be because the film is going for a more grounded approach to the character and, as a result, it's just Barbara with a codename of 'Cheetah'. However, as Patty Jenkins already revealed at CCXP that they had to use prosthetics and a little CGI for the character's look, you can rest assured that we will be seeing a Cheetah-like version of her in the film.

Yes, it's hard to criticise the trailer's sparing use of footage right now, but a little Cheetah would've been a nice treat.

Now, for the positives...
