Free HBO weekend. It was good. DCU did something right.

I didn't really enjoy any of the underwater scenes, but Amber Heard was a smokeshow the entire movie, and the submarine scene at the beginning was worth the ticket IMO.

I had it as my #1 DCEU movie, but I just watched Shazam! again, and I’m putting Shazam! at my new #1. Aquaman a solid #2

Meh. Mamoa and Heard didn't have any chemistry for me. Kidman and Morrison's story and chemistry came across far better. I put that more on Heard and the writing than on anything else. The writing for their dialogue seemed uninspired and her portrayal was a bit wooden (and that's not even mentioning the shite coloring they did with her hair, the more natural red in JL worked far better).

The effects were solid (although maybe a bit overdone on the shiny coral) and Mamoa's Aquaman is a fun version.

Is Amber Heard in that movie the hottest babe in both MCU and DCU? She’s an 11 in Aquaman

I liked parts of it, but I was dissapointed overall. Momoa was great, and the trench scene was really cool. The underwater scenes, however, were cringe. Teenage Aquaman is a horrendous actor.

Shazam
WW
Aquaman


The rest



This is how I would rank them so far. AM was a fun movie, but it's pacing and plotting was flawed at points. Mamoa is great in the role, but he isn't a good enough actor to carry a movie.

Shazam was the best combination of fun, flow and great story. It does appear WB has finally found a winning formula for their SuperMovies

It was an ok movie, but the Black Manta was awful. Looked like a Power Rangers villain and the whole fight scene between he and Aquaman looked like a Power Rangers type movie.

The villain doing repairs while Depeche Mode played was the highlight.

This movie sucked. Dc is pretty pathetic and that’s being polite. Shazam and Wonder Woman are the only 2 movies that were in the decent/pretty good range. Other than that, dog shite.

Mamoa is a terrible actor. He’s good at playing Jason mamoa.

Watched it for the first time last Saturday and thought it was alright. I felt like you knew when a joke was coming or when in the desert to get the hologram you knew it wasn't going to work on the first try.

I feel that MCU does a better with their CGI compared to DC.

i need help with something that has been bothering me about this movie

can anyone explain to me why the atlantis soldiers cant breathe air yet every other person and creature can?

i watched it several times but have never seen it explained of i just keep missing it if they did explain it

anytime they fight out of water they get defeated by breaking the aquarium helmets they wear to let the water out

One of the better DC universe movies imo. Jason Momoa is the one of the best and most personable of the DC actors
