People keep complaining the MCU movies all look the same because they have a unified aesthetic but now we’re turning around and complaining that WW84 doesn’t look like Shazam? You can’t have it both ways.
Actually, it's question of continuity rather than aesthetic. And WW1984 has the following problems:
-Diana's status in BvS is that she's slacked off the job for quite awhile. We can assume that means that from WWI to the present (then, 2016), she wasn't doing much. However, she's very active in WW1984. So apparently she lost faith in humanity between 1984 and 2016, not 1918 and 2016. The latter is understandable, the former? What happened between 1984 and 2016 that compares to the carnage of two world wars for instance?
-Bruce is able to find out Diana's identity via a WWI photo, but somehow doesn't have access to any footage of her in 1984? Yes, we see her removing cameras in a mall, but come on, nothing she does in 1984 is subtle. Surely she'd have been seen by someone, somewhere.
-It doesn't quite work in terms of 'emergence.' The core theme of MoS-BvS-JL is that the "Age of Heroes" has returned after a long absence. That this is the start of a new era, so to speak. However, WW1984 has outright magic that's on display to the world, from walls rising from the ground, to every other wish. The world in WW1984 is a lot more fantastical than MoS presents.
In other words, it's a case of prequel syndrome, where you have a series that starts with an inciting incident (MoS), then all this other stuff that reduces the impact of said incident (WW1984).
Personally, I'd say that Jenkins does pretty well at establishing relationships between characters, but can't direct action scenes. Wonder Woman was made with a lot of obvious input from Zack Snyder and his team, which is why the action sequences in the movie are leagues above Wonder Woman 84. The action in WW84 was genuinely embarrassing.
There's still the original Wonder Woman movie though. That had pretty good action, not to mention the No Man's Land scene.
Oh, and the car chase. That was neat.
And to be frank, the action scenes in the sequel trilogy aren't much to write home about, especially with the lightsaber fights. It's not as if Jenkins is alone in this. Probably the best examples are in Last Jedi, both for action (throne room) and emotional impact (Luke vs. Ben), but on the other hand, take the tripe that was TFA's lightsaber scenes. Bleh.
