Aquaman: The Movie

[ProdglArchitect]

I haven’t watched any of the DCEU movies since Man of Steel. I want to see Wonder Woman, but everything I’ve seen from the rest of those movies has been disappointing. Makes me sad, I used to be a bigger fan of DC than Marvel.

I’d love to see the DC universe get the Marvel treatment, but they’d really need to wait a while before they try again.

DCU box office showdown.

Aquaman looks in a good position to become the highest-grossing DCU film, on a worldwide basis. But it’s getting a much higher percentage of its box office outside the U.S. and Canada than Wonder Woman did.

People have been waiting for the Aquaman movie since before the time it was used as a plot device on the HBO show Entourage.

Aquaman was a long time coming… Also, the trailers showed that the movie was going to be awesome and follow the comics pretty well - esp with Black Manta in there.

I’m a Marvel MCU fan… I really don’t care for the DCEU.

I thought Wonder Woman was a little overrated. It was the best of the DCEU when it came out, but I think Aquaman blows Wonder Woman away. It was really well done. It was ALMOST at Guardians of the Galaxy level.

I just hate how dark the DCEU is. The grim-dark realism worked for the Dark Knight trilogy, but Superman is supposed to be the antithesis of that, so is the Flash… but they all got pulled along into Snyder’s attempts to mimic Nolan.

I want them to be good, but they’re just not.

Yeap! I think that’s why Aquaman is so much better than the rest. It has the action, but isn’t dark. The whole movie has a sense of hope and excitement as you are watching a hero rise.

The Snyder movies were also so depressing and a major let down. Even The Dark Knight Batman was far more hopeful and heroic than the cynical & sadistic Snyder Batman.

Did Aquaman have a kid sidekick as was customary for that era?

I saw a ranking list of best DC movies ever made, and they ranked it #4. Pretty decent list.

Their rankings seem a little Batman heavy. I think box office totals would be a more objective way of ranking.

Well, you can’t rank the 1960s Batman or the 1970s Superman against Aquaman, even adjusting for inflation. Far more screens today, not to mention 3D, etc.

I fell in love with Amber Heard. I wish I could marry her and bring our children to church but she is not catholic.

She’s also divorced and currently dating a woman… So there is that too.
