I liked it a lot, right up there with Wonder Woman for me. It just hit all the right notes, great story, full fledged battles in the sea, good ending battle, good villains, great visuals, just a really fun time. People say it’s so over the top but in all honesty how else are you going to tell the story of Aquaman without doing what they did? I think it would’ve been a half ass origin story if they did things much differently. Definitely a good DC movie and a great step in the right direction.

I'm excited for Shazam to continue this and a WW and Aquaman sequel. Now I just hope they make a Man Of Steel sequel someday. We know Batman will be back. |

7.5/10.
2nd best movie in the DCEU behind Wonder Woman. I think part of the reason why those 2 movies have been so good is because they're isolated, per se, from the rest of the DCEU. Suicide Squad, BvS, MoS all focused on building universes. These 2 films didn't. Quote:

Are people longing for good movies from the DC universe so bad that they think these are really that good?
I saw it and while it wasn't absolutely horrible it was mediocre at best. I would give it a 6/10 or maybe a 6.5/10. If you thought Wonder Woman was OK but not great as well I would guess you would probably be in line with my rankings. If you thought WW was the best shit since sliced bread you will probably disagree with my ranking. My wife usually likes most of the Marvel movies and she leaned over about 3/4 of the way through the movie and says "Are you liking this movie?" with a dumbfounded look on her face. |

You can’t judge Christmas releases box office like the typical movies released at other parts of the year. They typically open modest then play very well over the next month. The next two week nearly everyday will play like a Saturday because so many people are out of school and work. |

The family went to see it the other night and it was ok. Good not great. The movie reminded me of a movie mix tape - Avatar, Indiana Jones & the Holy Grail, National Treasure, Romancing the Stone, Jurassic Park. It just seemed that many of the scenes were lifted straight out of other movies.

Just saw it and I was impressed with the visuals. Fight/battle scenes were action-packed and exciting. Some of the backstory development was relatively well done, but as others have said, this movie is long. Some conflict scenes involving Atlantian guards chasing down Aquaman and Mera were too drawn out. Black Manta’s back story and role is intriguing, but leaves you wanting more. A lot of the humor seems forced/hokey, and as easy as it is to look at Amber Heard for 2.5 hours, her dialogue gets annoying.
That being said, this film is a treat for the eyes. Bonus for some Roy Orbison in the soundtrack too! No regrets going to see this. |

Better than most of DCs shit they put out recently. Id say it's right there with Wonder Woman.
