Ace Nova Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I thought it was awesome. Well made, tons of action and excellent special effects. Among the best DC Universe movies made to date, imo. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there will be a sequel to Aquaman coming soon. Can't wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Watched it for a 2nd time over the weekend with my son. I liked it even better the 2nd time around. If you pay close attention, it has elements of various classic adventure films of the past...Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Avatar, Godzilla, etc...some of the martial arts sequences and introductions have elements of Japanese comics/shows..which I thought was pretty cool. I'm going to increase my rating to 8.5/10 and a must watch if you're into comic book movies.

I thought it was a good entertaining movie and the scenery underwater was just beautiful. also it is true about how man is messing up the oceans and still messing with the sea life. If you realize most of the comic book movies do try to give you some things to think about and hopefully some of us will listen. always love seeing movies with my mom, brother and now my daughter. It's so much more enjoyable sharing the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I've been slacking with this! I intend on watching, but never get around to it. I may wait until the bluray release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I've tried with all the DC movies since Man of Steel, to get into them. I just cannot. They range from poor to oppressively boring. I'm including in this, the critical darlings Wonder Woman and Aquaman. I find them just as unwatchable as Batman vs Superman, Suicide Squad and Justice League. There is just something about these slate of movies, that fails to draw me in. I'm not a difficult audience member. I enjoy superhero movies, without really investing any emotion in them - I don't revere the comics or have a prejudice against the idea of superheros. I think I'm a fairly middle-of-the-road viewer. But, it is really tough to watch people hail something that leaves me scratching my head. I don't get what's good about it. This isn't only true with DC. Last year, I felt bored and stupefied watching Black Panther. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I watch Justice League the more cool things I see and hear. Guess it's all a matter of what you like. I'm not a huge fan of comics, but I did like these movies. They are huge money makers and that's what Hollywood wants a movie to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Aquaman 2 is a go! Saw it on one of those Hollywood tv shows. Jason Momoa was supposed to attend The Dallas Fan Expo in May, but he just cancelled due to filming a movie. The guy is on fire! glad I didn't buy tickets to this event. It's like $50 for one damn day and that's not counting anyone you want to take a picture with and an autograph. Jason was charging $150 for a pic with him and $100 for his autograph. Damn! I remember attending my very first horror convention and the actors were charging $20 for a pic and an autograph. It's gone sky high in the past ten years or so.

Dazey Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Just watched this over the weekend and my god it's bad! Cheesy as hell with some of the worst CG effects this side of the Star Wars prequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 CGI was awful and the whole movie was pretty ridiculous. That said, it being ridiculous is also a saving grace for it, along with Momoa's charm. I will probably never rewatch it ever again though.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 dvd/blue ray is released on Tuesday. I've already pre-ordered it. I really did like this movie. Can't wait for the sequel because you know there will be one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 So I finally got around to watching Aquaman now... I didn't like it. Too much going on, and not enough room for the film to "breathe," if that makes sense. I like it better than Suicide Squad, but I don’t like it as much as Wonder Woman and Justice League. So it’s about tied in the middle with Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman, for me. kinda bummed out. Was hoping to like it more than Justice League at least, but I guess it coulda been worse also.

Watching it again after watching Blue Planet II, the amount of detail in their sea environments and creatures is insane.

rocknroll41 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) I know now where I rank it amongst the other DCEU films (the ones I have seen, at least): Wonder Woman Justice League Aquaman Man of Steel Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice - Theatrical Cut Suicide Squad - Extended Cut Suicide Squad - Theatrical Cut I haven't seen Shazam or the Ultimate Edition of Batman v. Superman yet, but I've heard they're both very good, so I wouldn't be surprised if they became my new Top Two, for all I know.
