Did you have any thoughts along those lines when watching it?
I did actually, that is why I checked IMDB

Because in the first film, she was a feminist figurehead, and a lot of the actual work was overseen by members of Christopher Nolan's team. This actually also happens quite a lot in the likes of the Marvel films, which are very much made on a conveyor belt. There was even a female director-of-colour announced on one of the films who left because she found out she would not be doing much at all, and others would be directing action scenes (not that she had any experience there) while the company could virtue signal her employment.
With the second WW film, Patty Jenkins was allowed to do her own directing and writing (got to get those writers credits and the residuals that go along with it), and it turned into the disaster it is. Take a look at her directing credits. Apart from her one hit with "Monster", does her history exhibit the abilities to take on one of the big DC characters? She fronted the first one, but when given full reign of the second, she's been shown as simply not up to the job, but they got their female empowerment message in.

Has one of my favourite feel good scenes of recent years when he's walking down the street at the start, song lyrics are all in the background.

I do love the choice of the songs in so many of the places of the movie.
Yeah, the music was really on point.
I double billed this with Boss Level for good, over the top violent fun, give it a try if you haven't seen it yet.

"Without Remorse" GF obviously loved Michael B Jordan but even she thought the film was disappointing, she's used to being disappointed
Just watched it - I can see why it wasn't well received, no popcorn movie, not something you'd really enjoy at the cinema and not something you'd watch for its intellectual depth either despite some wry intellectual commentary, etc. but at the same time the deadpan shambling self-awareness is kind of fascinating to watch until near the end - likewise preferred it when the fourth wall breaking was obscure.

It seems like quite a few of Travolta's movies don't get all that high scores - or the ones I've checked out anyway.
However, despite the far-fetched nature of action flicks like this, I thought it was alright. Plenty of holes in it but all in all, a decent enough way to spend a couple of hours.
