Lol at the second clip.

Is it bad form for royalty to beat up their own soldiers? Either way, Atlanna's awesome .

I've heard from critic friends who have seen it that is fun and enjoyable if you embrace how ridiculous it is.

Sounds like comic books.

So the early reports that Aquaman feels like a phase one Marvel movie were probably right. I personally think that’s a good thing considering how bad the DCEU reputation is at the moment. They need a fun superhero movie that leaves general audiences feeling like they just had a good time at the movies. I think sequels can be deep and thought provoking but they need something just fun and entertaining to get people interested in their product.

I never thought we’d be at a place where Aquaman as a character is getting so much positive buzz and love from the mainstream. Snyder probably cast Momoa as Arthur to make the character “badass” and move him away from the Super Friends stigma. But it’s great that Wan has gone beyond that and realize that Momoa’s natural charisma and sense of humor can take the character to even greater heights.

I think it is very much a good thing. DC's movie brand has been so damaged since 2016 outside of Wonder Woman that it needed some positive buzz. Within industry professionals the DCEU has a very bad reputation.

Making lots of cash and being good isn't the same thing

Having a bad RT score and not being a crowd pleaser isn't the same thing either. Suicide Squad was as mediocre as it gets, but a lot of people liked it, so now Harley Quinn gets another movie with her as the main star. Same reason Venom would get a sequel. To be honest though, however that turns out, casting Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady was just brilliant.

Re-evaluating my ranking, thinking more about the films:

Aquaman
BvS
MoS
WW

The latter three all suffer from 3rd act problems. MoS less so as it's only problem was went on too long. But BvS and WW 3rd acts felt like different films.

Wan's direction is also a lot more distinct than what Patty's was for WW. Plus AM easily the most cohesively written film from the bunch.

Jason Momoa doing a haka at a premier! Pretty sure those are his kids in the crowd too!



So badass!

Actually one complaint I have is hated the way the soldiers looked in the movie.

The wig? Not so much .

Well, after watching "Aquaman", this is my current DCEU ranking:

Batman v Superman > Man of Steel > Aquaman > Wonder Woman > Suicide Squad

I'm still waiting for the REAL Justice League movie to be released, so I can rank it.

I haven't see Aquaman yet, but I4m glad you liked it, since I think we have the same kind of appreciation of the DCEU.

Off to a great start.

Good to hear .

Extremely strong numbers in all markets. WOM is strong in this one.

Aquaman grossed $19.7M on THU from 36 intl mkts raising #boxoffice cume to $152M led by stunning $135M from China after 7 days. Asian mkts are especially strong. 7 more mkts open today. Shd climb to over $300M before it even opens in the US next week.
