Member laagi Posted December 17, 2018 Member Share Posted December 17, 2018 I've had little to zero interest in this movie and aquaman in general but I like Momoa. And after a lot of positive first reviews I might give this a chance on the big screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, silly, emotional, funny, exciting, moving - go see it on the biggest screen you can, you geeks 😀 Can't wait to see this! Does it spank Black Panther? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted December 18, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2018 @ShaOW!linDudefunny you should say that, brother- there are some clear similarities to both the first Thor film and Black Panther. Honestly, I thought Aquaman had them both beat! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted December 18, 2018 Member Share Posted December 18, 2018 One question @Karlos, did they make good use of Dolph Lundgren?, or is it just a minor role?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted December 18, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2018 @DragonClawsDolph is in it way more than you might think - it's a very significant role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Koravec Posted December 21, 2018 Member Share Posted December 21, 2018 Delivered just about everything I could have wanted or expected from it. Worth the watch, and can only imagine how much better it'll look in 4k. Momoa doesnt really scream aquaman, but I dont mind this. The humor and "badass-ness" of Mamoas Aquaman is overplayed. While a bit annoying, it doesnt get in the way of the story. Besides, you probably have your take on him as aquaman if youve seen justice league. And I agree with Karlos, takes some of the best aspects of Thor and Panther together and more! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ah_Tao Posted December 21, 2018 Member Share Posted December 21, 2018 Fantastic movie!!! Watch everyone that hated Aquaman before this movie came out love the character. They did a wonderful job. Strange how Randall Park is in there right after he filmed Ant-Man and the Wasp. I personally loved every second in the movie. I can't believe they brought back the original armor from the comics. I'm yet to see when he winds up cutting off his hand and trading it for an enchanted hook. I like the fact that they had Black Manta and left the ending ready for a sequel. A funny thing that happened after I watched this film was hearing two elderly guys complaining about how there was too much CGI at the ending. Couldn't help but wonder what other alternatives would've worked in place of what they did for the underwater scenes. Oh yeah, I see Greta Van Fleet's Safari Song made it into the mix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 1, 2019 Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 Got to see this today! I was stoked, and at the end of the movie, I was not disappointed by any means.

As much as I really dig the 1st Thor film, it was a little light on the action, especially the finale. And I just had problems with a lot of the action portrayal in Black Panther. I think a lot of my ambivalence for this movie is that it was over-hyped. However, I admit I do need to watch it again because I've always really liked that character.

Not gonna lie; wasn't be biggest Aquaman fan as a kid in the 60's-70's because he was just lame. The Superfriends cartoon did not help. The Justice League cartoon, however, really made good use of the character and gave him some much needed oomph! When I found out Momoa was playing him in the JL film, I had mixed feelings. I'm a fan of Momoa's work and talent, but I really didn't see him as Aquaman. He seemed fitted for a better DC character, like Lobo. After seeing him in the JL movie, I was sold. He was one of the best things about that film. Granted there was some cheesiness, but I found it to be minimal. This film did so many things right. Strong back story; amazing f/x (not saying there were't any faults, but that's some of the best CGI I've seen); decent chemistry between Momoa and Heard; just a fantastic depiction of Atlantis and its architecture, and the many different sea creatures was phenomenal; the depiction of Aquaman's telepathic power as sonar rings was a great homage to the early cartoons; an actual attempt to adhere to comic costume design without overt bulkiness; Mera was not the typical sideline pushover female character, but an impressive combatant in her own right; and some of the most amazing action sequences. I absolutely loved the staff fights with the tridents. Momoa really portrays the character as an extension of himself and has fun with it, which is why I enjoyed him so much in his turn as Conan. (Maybe he can get that character revived now.) Yeah. I'm wanting to see this again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the whole story where Aquaman was ready to wage war on the land and having to sacrifice his hand. I could only imagine what they're going to do next when he gets his hook. It looks like that they are going by the New 52 storyline loosely however, so things will be different from the Bronze Age. I loved how James Wan put his final touch of horror in there, and it really made things segue very well. I'm glad people are starting to recognize the Justice League for what it is. Psst, if they need someone to write a Batman storyline, they got a die-hard fan here lmfao. It has officially been over two years since Matt Reeves has been casted as the director for the project and it's still in development hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted January 2, 2019 Member Share Posted January 2, 2019 The only flaw with Aquaman is the attempts at comedy. None of it hits. Other that that, I loved it. If you'd have asked a ten year old me to come up with a film, I would have come up with this. Laser eyes! Giant seahorses! Trident fights! Water magic! It's all here. I felt giddy watching it. Like a big kid. I also felt like the CGI fights were some of the best I've seen. I HATE Black Panther's CGI fights at the end and I felt Aquaman did a great job of capturing some sense of realism. It wasn't off-putting at all. Great stuff. Would definitely watch this again (and again?). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member whitesnake Posted February 12, 2019 Member Share Posted February 12, 2019 More Aquaman movies, or Aquaman-universe movies are in the works. Warner Bros. has hired David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick to write a sequel to the Aquaman movie. He co-wrote the screenplay for the first Aquaman. From https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/aquaman-sequel-finally-works-adds-writer-1185626 "Heat Vision broke the news that Warner Bros. has hired screenwriters Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald to pen The Trench, a film based on those menacing sharp-toothed sea-creatures that Aquaman and Mera fought on their way down the center of the Earth. The creatures are relatively new additions to the DC mythos, having first debuted in 2011's Aquaman No. 1 by Jeoff Johns and Ivan Reis, but they certainly made their impact in Aquaman in a sequence that, if not the highpoint of the film, certainly took the collective breath away from theater audiences."

Member DarthKato Posted May 27, 2021 Member Share Posted May 27, 2021 Well, I'm not a big fan of Aquaman in the comics, but this was a damn good movie. Jason Momoa actually made Aquaman an interesting character and the movie worth watching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted May 29, 2021 Author Member Share Posted May 29, 2021 Jason Momoa is actually helping with Aquaman 2 as he wrote a story treatment. https://heroichollywood.com/jason-momoa-wrote-story-aquaman-2/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
