Aquaman (2018)

Started by John Murdoch116 pages

Should be seeing it tomorrow with my wife. Gotta say, after Stuckmann's review, Jahns's review, and discussion on here, I'm pretty pumped.

How does this compare to Thor: Ragnarok? Seems that both are visual effects-driven blockbusters that rely on action and comedy to overcome any weaknesses (and Ragnarok did that to nigh-perfection).

for this movie, But not isn't ok to have blue skin for Guardians of the Galaxy... 😬

Maybe he just got paid more

Let us just say boy was I ****ing right. D. Thor the guy who cried reboot the sky is falling; kiss my ass you negative, faithless fake ass fan. I not you the MCU guy had faith in the brand and correctly predicted AM would be the best of the bunch.

I am a seer. Great action, great world building, and a true journey from start to finish. More dceu characters for Lord Thanos to smite.

Not going to lie. Easily best of the DCEU and majority of the MCU. Momoa surprised me. The side cast was really good. Definitely want to see more of Black Manta. The way they introduced you to the different kingdoms was great.

Really enjoyed this and hope they can use this to help rebuild.

The movie didn't break any barriers, but I thought it really played to the cast's strengths to make a very enjoyable film. Personally, I loved it

Looks like this movie is about to flop!

How does it feel to be wrong again? You said they have to reboot the sky is falling just like you did with Star Wars after solo. Brand is wrecked, etc. you cannot see two feet in front of you and just get swallowed up by the dominant feelings at the time. You follow and never lead. You also are a quitter. Bad traits if you ask old seer Quanny.

Quan find anywhere I said Aquaman would be terrible. You didn't tell me anything. I have never been on the DC is doomed train.I Iiked MOS and JL. WW was really good and so is AM. I doubt you will find me saying DC needed to reboot.

Second meltdown.

I watched this a bit earlier today. It was basically what I expected from a comic book film done by James Wan. Not perfect by any means, but visually spectacular and a fun ride. Even though WW is probably a better film, technically speaking, I found myself enjoying Aquaman more.

There goes TK 750 prediction.

#Aquaman smashed $300M mark at intl #boxoffice and goes into this wknd with huge $332.1M from 58 mkts. Now the top grossing WB film of all-time in China with RMB 1.45B ($209.5M). Opening days in France/Korea/Germany were all at or above levels of #WonderWoman & #JusticeLeague.

^ Ah I was wondering what happened to your box office updates, and Stilts RT score updates.

I got a mini heart attack when I saw Aquaman at 71%, when it was at 70% before.

But now? It's looking f*cking awesome, lol:

And it's far from over, Darth Thor Get lube ready, they'll need to surgically remove me from your butt.

Why people care about critic reviews amazes me

Rotten Tomato critics can't stop this juggernaut. Should reach 500 M world wide by this weekend. 900 M locked. Aquaman will be a success, overall.
