I'm definitely on board for this.

Dressed like a fish. I dig it.

 

[Ghost X]

Not interested

 

[Geostigma]

Reminds me of Black Panther. Except Aquabro is Killmonger.





I'm calling him Fishmonger now.

Seems like a fun movie I'm down.

I FRICKING LOVE IT AND MERA IS FRICKING HOT AS HELL

Like I almost want to cosplay Mera now!

But seriously, this trailer in itself is such a treat for the eyes.

With the release date in December and no Star Wars taking up that spot, I think it really has room to shine. Not to mention with the aesthetic that's going for it, I have a suspicion that China is gonna go NUTS for this film like they did for Warcraft.

It really feels like this is where DC gets their chance at salvation, rather than it being the last broken piece of their Cinematic Universe.

I guess China would chobble it up, but the US and Yurp will probably massively shrug at it.

The last good DC movie was the Dark Knight. I didn't care much for mumbly mask guy who I couldn't fucking understand anyway . That movie meandered on far too long, too. Although granted, Dark Knight could've been cut short by an hour as well.

PSA: Despite what most nerdy sites are reporting right now, the DCEU remains without an official name. No official branding/re-branding has taken place at SDCC.

From other reviews, overall Aquaman is genuine and sincerly fun blockbuster popcorn movie that embraces its weirdness and worth watching in spite of its weirdly paced, structured and messy plot.

Back. Great film. *braces for inevitable slew of 'saved the DCEU' narratives*

Spoiler

Great to see such emphasis put on compassion being these heroes' most heroic trait, all the way from MOS. I'm also down with the plentiful number of badass NPCs, that's one of the fastest ways to my heart.

And Wow Amber Heard is pretty.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Wonder Woman already did that. =P

 

[Clement Rage]

Depends where you look. For me it didn't need saving in the first place.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I hear Nero thought Rome looked lovely by firelight too.


"Man of Steel" was legit great, though.

 

[Clement Rage]

Would be nice if my failed artistic efforts made 600m. But anyway, hope you enjoy the film when it comes out stateside.

I just loved it to bits. SUCH great development and all the characters (aside from Aquaman's hair) looked just like the comics. It felt like how a movie that wanted to kick off a larger universe should've started – I just want to know more about all of the other things going on in this world, and slowly see more things start to expand to intersect with other DC characters.

Spoiler: I especially liked that...

One of the earliest shots of the film is the Lighthouse Snowglobe sitting on top of H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror (though Shadow over Innsmouth might've been more appropriate, since Call of Cthulhu would've been a little on the nose), given the fact that this essentially happens in the film:

But yeah. A gooddamn blast through and through!

Saw it last night. It was a bit formulaic, but still good fun. As DCEU movies go, i'd say that Wonder Woman is still the best, though Aquaman is, all in all, quite a good effort.

Aquaman becomes the first DCEU movie to gross $1 billon worldwide.
