Like all other DC movies, i'll give it a shot and hope for the best. thumb up

Surtur
Like anything else with Aquaman I will secretly hope this turns out to be a live action version of the "Brave and the Bold" Aquaman and hope for the best.

steverules_2
I LOVE the conjuring, if my girlfriend had been up to seeing the sequel I would've seen it so the fact James Wan is directing seems like there might be some hope. No Zack Snyder is a bonus, BvS was just total ass.

Zack M
Conjuring 2 was better than the first. Loved it. Hopefully Wan can deliver.

carthage
I only have hope for this because of Wans ability as a storyteller

Damn dude your gurl conjure-blocked you. That shit just isn't cool. Hopefully you took revenge by banging her sister/best friend.

Revenge was me saying no to watching the new Ghostbusters film

Take her sister/best friend to see Ghostbusters.

I have little faith in this, so if it's anything above awful, that will be a plus for me.

riv6672
^^^Yeah, that sums up DC movies in general for me.

Inhuman
Kal Drogo cant carry a movie. As it stands, it seems like in Justice League he will be limited to grunts and little vocabulary, with an angry face. So basically the same as he was in Game of Thrones and the Conan remake.

Guaranteed they will get a strong supporting actress to help carry this film, like they did with Chris Pine in WW.

Mamoa's not a bad actor; certainly good enough to pull this off.

-Pr-
There's a difference between being part of an ensemble and carrying a movie, which I'm not sure he can do.

riv6672
He carried Conan quite well IMO, but carrying a movie is a two way street, with the audience having a huge say in who they accept.
In this case, thats not an issue, like you said.

Inhuman
Originally posted by riv6672

He hardly had any dialog in Conan. Mostly grunts.

Thats like saying Wall-E carried his movie as well.

It was fun...more entertaining than Ghost Rider IMO.

TheVaultDweller
lol being better than Ghost Rider isn't really saying that much though.

Esau Cairn
Agree.
Simply saying it was a more enjoyable watch than GR.

Zack M
Yeah, the more I think about it, Drive Angry was kind of a fun movie. Way more enjoyable than either Ghost Rider. Still, Amber Heard was the best part of the movie.

Fair enough. She's also been in some utterly lousy roles though. I remember foolishly getting talked into watching a really shit movie, called The Informers, a few years back. She did little more than lie around half naked for most of the film.

Haha roll eyes (sarcastic)

Surtur
To be fair I did just remember what Amber Heard did that I didn't hate. If anyone remembers the short lived mystery show "Hidden Palms" from back in the summer of 2007.

I really enjoyed that show actually. It was a nice summer show.

Also come on Johnny how do you not get a prenup?! Even Jack Sparrow would of prenupped the shit out of Amber Heard.

riv6672
Damn, Dawg, i actually recall that show, but not to the point of putting any current faces to it.
Nice catch!

You really liked it? Really? All right.

Whiney, maybe, but you try not sounding whiney after having to say the same thing over and over and over when someone takes something you care about and drags it through the dirt.

I know a few people who like the JL trailer (and I only know a few who've seen it).

I'm personally not a fan of the Barry/Flash portrayal. I also don't get why they're rushing it out before the Flash and Aquaman films, which are the very next films out. Whose demanding it so early on in the DCEU? I know the fans aren't.

There were always going to be people that liked it. Those people are just wrong, though.

Flyattractor
Fan boys gotta be little bitches.

-Pr-
lol. God forbid a fan wants a good adaptation of a character. I get that most people that aren't fans really don't care. They just want a good movie.

So what happens when they do to their favourite character what they did to Aquaman? Will it still be all right then? Will they still only care about getting a "good movie" even if it's a shitty adaptation?

riv6672
What have they DONE to Aquaman, though?
Really, i'm every bit the Aquaman fan you are, but i havent seen anything to make me hate this. Yet.
I'm a huge fan of Grant Gustin Flash, too, but i'm not going insane about him not getting cast in the movie.

CosmicComet
I like Aquaman. Always have really.

He's a family man and a noble character. I like true heroes.

And I don't see what's wrong with the casting or the decisions they've made with him for the movie.

We don't even really know anything about Arthur in this other than Momoa is casted to play him.

-Pr-
They're severely changing his origin, which means changing the mythology that goes along with him. How is that not a bad thing?

And do you guys honestly think Momoa can carry a movie?

Momoa is awesome.

Really? Honestly, if you think this is going to be a good movie, and that you're happy with what we've gotten so far, then cool. I'm not going to tell you not to. But if you honestly can't see WHY I'm concerned, then I don't know what to say.

Snyder's comments about the character alone should be cause for concern, imo.

riv6672
I can see having concerns. Especially given DCs track record.

I cant see repeatedly posting about the ruination of the character/movie before seeing it.

Not as Mera and certainly not on that pic.

Need to see more pics, but Snyder has this irresistible urge to make them as dark as possible first.

I forgot about Wonder Woman, that actually looks ok, I'm not a huge fan of the character though. I agree regarding Superfriends, AM's comic portrayals are much different, although everyone was pretty shit on that show.

Except Grundy, he was epic, lol.

Hoping Snyder's involvement with the Wonder Woman movie is only 10% which it seems to be, Has his name for one of the producer's and also story.

He looks like he's flying underwater, not swimming.

Aquaman swims (or rides a seahorse). He can propel himself forward at great speeds sure, but he's not like Superman that has his own internal propulsion.

So either they're changing it for stylistic reasons, or someone just didn't do the research. Either way it's not how it should look.

i seriously doubt they give him flight. Although, based on a scene from the teaser trailer, it looks like they might give him Mera's control over water.
