Pretty amazing movie, I was pleasantly surprised how well it was done. Just got back from a packed house, everyone clapped and there were a lot of women there. This is going to be a billion dollar movie for sure.
shareBest 3D IMAX experience I had in a long time. I hate seafood, but this may have converted me. (;
It's as brainless and silly as MCU films. But it compensates for that on other levels.
Congrats to James Wan for creating the visually most impressive and imaginative action adventure since long. Pure fun.
I agree, it was silly, especially the fighting shrimps and crabs but overall a enjoyable movie. The visuals were spectacular as well.
sharethe silliness is part of the Atlantean mythology. It's a freaking Aquaman movie about the most ridiculous fish man in the world, even more laughable than the Guardians of the Racoon Turds or Antman or others.
DC have done well in this regard. Aqua is KEWL now.
Give me 1 Billion!!!!!!
Stick a Marvel on it and you would say its crap, instead you think this meh effort is crabtacular
shareA talking raccoon is too stupid but a talking giant crab-squid is okay.
shareLOL, there we go again with your trademark low effort thinking and straw men:
- A talking raccoon taking about putting somebody else's squishy TURDS into a pillow case is stupid and childish.
- A giant crab-squid talking about serious things within the context of a fable is acceptable. Ever seen Star Wars or Trek?
It's the difference between the Man Child Universe and solid fantasy films. It's called nuance.
Now cry me a salty fanboy river.
I have seen Star Wars and Star Trek. I'm not sure I remember a giant crab talking about "serious things". Can you provide a clip?
sharedoes AP stand for asinine piranha? Learn to distinguish points so not to create Star Men fallacies. Did I say: "there is such a crab-squid in Star Wars too, thus it's OK in Aquaman? No, that was not the point - the point was fable and fable creature serious talk.
In fact if you ever saw SW/Trek there are a lot of silly looking aliens. It depends how you write them. Eg seafood-head aliens in SW:
- Seahorse-Greedo boasting about getting Han to Jabba
- Squidface-Ackbar talking about attacking Death Star
- fish-eye Trade Viceroy talking about trade embargo, invasions and treaties
- Watto talking about bartering, gambling and slavery
- Crab Droids shooting Clones
- Insect Geonosians talking about DS plans
also check CloneWars S4 the underwater arc with talking shark villains.
Point: some may be silly, but I do not remember them ever saying stuff like: Dance off, bro, you and me - you big turd blossom! Are you a professional asshole - a real pro! I shoot that ball-sack of a chin right out of your face, Did you create a penis?, Hahaha I have famously huge turds, I'm Mary Poopins y'all, They better not play hide-the-zuchhini! I have sensitive nipple…etc….etc
Even Star wars at it's silliest is classes above the Man Child Universe. So is the DCEU. This is called nuance. QED
You are referencing aliens who look somewhat aquatic. That is not the same thing as "Giant Serious Things Crab".
shareNope this is close to Star Wars in terms of imagination and world building (score is great too).
It's not as deep and dystopian a storytelling as StarWars, but I have nothing against a good roller coaster ride a la Raiders or Tron as long as it does not involve penis, turd and nipples dialogue.
Aquaman had a pee joke.
Shazam has a pee joke in the trailer.
BvS had a pee joke.
Wonder Woman had a penis joke.
Suicide Squad had a penis reference.
Update: Nice job changing posts after responing.
I am not terrified by penis, turds and nipples. I am just not as fascinated by those things as you are. To each his own.
Right but you are 100% okay with all the pee and penis jokes in DC movies.
shareUPDATE: Nice job changing your post text after I reply...always shifting goalposts after my response several times is a sign of intellectual weakness (or childish trolling). I will henceforward quote your crap....

Only ONE you say (now) per movie? See, that is what I call nuance. These jokes must be so subordinate and seldom that I cannot clearly recall them. And I cannot recall the word penis in the WW dialogue at all?
Now count how many times we hear "turd" in an idioticly juvenile Man Child context in this single scene alone:

See, nuance is like gravity, all it needs is a little push. I was not even saying DCEU dialogue is completely bereft of juvenile idiocy, but it's several classes above MCU. That's what nuance is all about.
I edited a second before you responded. The first response was me cracking on you. The second was a legit point. I opted to go for making a point than for making fun of you. If you like, I can go back to making fun of you.
And just to be clear, one pee joke is okay but if it were two, it'd be a problem? Okay. Technically, BvS had two pee jokes. The senator lady said something about "Piss in a jar and call it Granny's lemonade" and later, that joke was revisited when Lex Luthor tricked her into drinking his pee.
I see you are a bit unstable and often struggle with tone, but I am happy for you that you were able to reach a decison.
"And just to be clear, one pee joke is okay but if it were two, it'd be a problem. Okay."
I admire the fact that you take the time to count every time someone mentions poo in comic movies. Very dedicated. We are all in your debt for the sacrifices you have made.
Anyway, we need solid numbers and you are the expert here.
How many poo jokes can a movie have? Is it the same as pee jokes or more? Are pee jokes slightly more intellectual than poo jokes? How many times can a character say the word penis? Also, what about booby and vagina jokes? Sure, you mentioned nipples before but those nipples belonged to a man and I want to know if female nipples are as offensive. You haven't said anything about vaginas in any capacity and I think this needs to be addressed.
"I admire the fact that you take the time to count every time someone mentions poo in comic movies. Very dedicated. We are all in your debt for the sacrifices you have made"
I don't so it's not a sacrifice. It's like registering that something stinks. Some have it others think it smells marvelous. Can millions of flies be wrong?
"Anyway, we need solid numbers and you are the expert here."
Not we. You need clear rules indeed. You should ask you mom first and work something out with her.

It's a reflection of your character too.
Don't try and frighten us with your source words ways Tristan, you're sad devotion to that sad devotion to dceu hasn't given you clairvoyance enough to conjure up a good arrrrgggggghhhhh
shareAnother correct prediction by Bubba.
sharedo you find it even a little odd that you are bragging about Aquaman's box office.
yet spent a large amount of time trolling on Black Pathers's box office.
I find it quite odd, In fact Its almost like you are biased(crazy Right?) ...somehow you are bragging about a films box office in Aquaman. Yet have a history of claiming Another MORE SUCCESSFUL films in Black Panther Isnt good
considering how Aquaman performed compared to Black Panther(A film you trolled on, claimed was front loaded and constantly claimed wasnt doing great).
after all If Your Bragging about Aquaman's box office....shouldnt you feel even more impressed by Black Panthers box office?
I mean Black Panther out performed Aquaman in every imaginable way...
Black Panther more than Doubled Aquaman's OW.
Black Panther Will Double or almost Double Aquaman's total domestic gross.
Black Panther Will make HUNDREDS Million more WW than Aquaman...
I mean, If your bragging about a 67 M OW, 350 Million Ish domestic total and 1.1 B WW gross in Aquaman
shouldnt you have also been MORE Impressed with a 202 Million OW, 700 M+ domestic total and 1.340 B + total in Black Panther...
lol Aquaman is a huge hit...congrats...
but I find it extremely funny though...In a way you kinda forfeited the right to brag about it(or at least you cant brag about it without looking like a biased hypocrite)
theres just no way you can honestly brag and claim Aquaman is doing great after the trolling you did on Black Panther...
If you werent impressed with BBs box office....you certainly cant be impressed with Aquamans box office which made less in every possible way
this is what we call ....a classic trolling backfire...
