Needs more "CHEEHUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!"
Guys, Aquaman....Jesus....the things this movie did to my body....
For the longest time I felt that Snyder was the only one who could perfectly translate comic book imagery to live action, I can happily say that he no longer stand alone!! Aquaman is through and through (particularly in the 3 act) a comic book brought to life! It's as epic as MoS, but the scope...I guess the LotR comparisons are fair, think of the "history lesson" part of JL but longer! And not made into a few second montage, but the actual whole thing!!
I'm just happy, this movie made me happy! For those concerned about the humor (that was my only concern going in), it's funnier than MoS and BvS, but nowhere near MCU, it's more like WW in tone/humor; there where only a couple (literally, a couple) of moments when I felt that the humor was unnecessary, but there was definitely no use of bathos (funnily enough, my wife felt that the movie could've done with being more serious and really embrace the darker, more intense moments, but that didn't detract at all, she loved it too) and it's just an EPIC of EPIC EPICNESS!!
And I was SO wrong about the classic suit, Momoa looks not only majestic AF in the suit, he looks like an absolute badass!! There are several shots (again, particularly in the 3rd act), where if you were to freeze the picture, Arthur, Mera and Orm look straight like a CB panel, like something by Ivan Reis or Jim Lee or Jorge Jimenez; Momoa was born to play this part.
Actually, I couldn't think of a single thing I didn't like about it until this thread reminded me: Pitbull. It really took me off the use of pop songs (literally, 2 times), but it was like a second thing and it didn't stay, but mostly Pitbull because I hate reggaeton and **** that guy!
But honestly, I cannot wait to see it again, I actually wanted to rewatch it the moment it was done; as a fervent lover of every DCEU entry (minus JL and SS - partially), this movie is up there with the rest. I'm a well fed fan, I'm happy.
Awesome.
It's always great to see fans here happy with a DC movie. Makes me even more pumped to go see it(which won't happen for at least two weeks).
