Spoilers Aquaman - Review and Discussion Thread

I enjoyed it. It’s no Man of Steel but it was enjoyable. Some very impressive colourful visuals and the underwater stuff mostly worked.
I did notice an error with it with the scene he first meets Mera and they mention his brief trip to the box in JL and mentions that Volco tells him to come back to Atlantis and he says no (rudely apparently). This was obviously from the Snyder cut as this didn’t happen in the Whedon one. I’m surprised they didn’t alter that scene to make it match better with the movie.

The mid credit scene was nothing special. Just something expected. No Superman or anything which is probably the reason I enjoyed Elseworlds more.
Speaking of which, Orn’s Plan to invade the over world made no mention of him. You’d think he would be a rather severe obstacle, not to mention Batman as well.

Why did you not put this into the existing review thread?

Apologies, I didn’t see that one.
I’m sure the Overlords will delete it promptly.

It’s no Man of Steel

That it isn't.

I'd planned to see this over the weekend, but now I'm thinking I'll see Spider-Man a second time.

I enjoyed it. I thought the movie was fun. But . . . I thought the direction was a bit raw and uneven. I can say the same about the editing. And I just didn't like the score very much. I would rank it slightly higher than "Justice League" because the narrative had a better finale.

It was nice seeing Randall Park in his second comic book movie for 2018.
