Reading reviews is so much fun.
Yeah, nitpicking or weird complaints aside, they are range between 'why?' to 'why not?'. Some even still couldn't processed what they saw.
I actually even more excited now.
Sooo many good lines, these lines are from just two of them.
'There are more hair flips here than in a shampoo commercial.'
- Most of it done by Momoa.
'Most of the film’s central romance (with Amber Heard’s Mera) is played in a montage that could double as tourism board videos for a vacation hotspot.'
'Aquaman has plenty of tricks up his sleeves too — or he would if he ever wore a shirt with sleeves. He launches himself into a submarine like a human missile. He jumps out of an airplane without a parachute. He spins a trident like the world’s brawniest competitive baton twirler. Basically, this movie is two and a half hours of Jason Momoa doing ridiculous s— punctuated by Jason Momoa saying ridiculous s—. If you can’t get a chuckle out of watching this guy ride a seahorse like a drunken surfer, why do you even go to the movies in the first place?'
'This version of the character, which personality-wise is quite different from the DC Comics one upon which the film is otherwise based, is basically what would happen if the nice guy at your gym who always wants to share his equipment decided to move under the sea and fight crime. Momoa’s chummy nonchalance in the face of increasingly outlandish situations is the key to the whole picture. Even as
Aquaman expands to monstrous scope, even when there are dudes in bright purple armor shooting laser beams from tridents while riding giant hammerhead sharks, you’ve always got Momoa in the middle of everything with a twinkle in his eye that practically screams “Can you believe they’re letting me do this?”
For the record, I can’t. I couldn’t even believe I was watching it. We’ve come a long way from the days when studio executives were hesitant to put the X-Men in bright costumes because they were worried audiences would think they looked stupid.
Aquaman is bursting with more colors than an acid trip.'
'Wilson delivering a performance that’s Rita Repulsa-adjacent in the best way possible: half deadly serious monologue and half full-throat vowel shouting.'
- Now this is hyped me up. Love me some Jupiter Ascending's
EDDIE Redmayne and Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman.
