The movies take a lot of shit (and deservedly so), but Garfield and Stone were great together in the ASM movies. Though obviously, since they were actually together at the time...There's not much of it, but I really liked the bond between Arthur and his dad, both performers sold that well.
Yeah Momo and Amber had zero chemistry, but that's the case with most comic flicks. WW has the best romantic tale in the genre, and I thought Chadwick and Lupita were both great together in BP.
like I said, haven't seen Aquaman yet and wasn't commenting on that movie specifically, just the general point of "it's a blockbuster, the acting and writing don't need to be anything good or special." To which my thought is, well, why not?
Pre-credits.Pre or post credits scene?
The last shot precredits scene is a pretty great, feel good, Raimi Spider-Man type ending shot.

The acting is fine in Aquaman. Not sure where this bizarre ass critique is coming from. It's no worse than any recent superhero movies. The only weak link from the main cast is Amber Heard, but that's about it. And you get plenty of performances like that in the recent MCU and DCEU movies in general. The only criticism would be there's no standout performance like Jackman in Logan or even Tom Hardy going balls to the wall in Venom, but that's rare anyway. It's a throwback adventure movie and pulls it off well.
The Fatigue2018 will have had 5 films hit $1B once Aquaman gets there. 4 of them superhero films.
Amber looked like she didn't want to be there for the most part.The acting was alright, it's just that it was super cheesy comic book dialogue that folks confuse with bad acting. Amber though is a huge bore

And 3 different companies represented, which I think is a first
(And believe first non Disney/Universal one is like 5 years?)
So question is does WB convince Wan to do the sequel?
Hes a super in demand director so they are gonna have to pay him huge money
I liked that there was actual character growth and Arthur showed an understanding and remorse for his earlier actions and a desire to do better, and then does better. I love that his strongest superpower in the end is that he can talk to people no one else talks to.

People have to realise over half of Wonder Woman's grossing came domestically ($412M of $821M).I cant believe Aquaman might hit 1b but Wonder Woman didnt even get close... world is unfair
WB is just gonna keep adding zeroes until its worth his time.
But I think he'll get something like Nolan had with Batman. Given all the time he wants, can even work on projects they'll fund in-between to keep him happy. So if he wants to do Saw Returns and come back to Aquaman in 2022 they'll be fine.
I do wonder if they wanna wait that long. I know a lot has been made of their failures, but they've also been not as great at capitalizing on successes. We're going at least 4 years without a Suicide Squad sequel (though we get a Harley spin-off), and 3 years between Wonder Woman movies.

Internationally Wonder Woman did less than Homecoming, Ragnarok, Guardians Vol.2, Justice League and not much higher than Logan either last year. This year Infinity War, Black Panther, Venom, Deadpool 2, The Incredibles 2 and even Ant-Man and the Wasp made more overseas. Most of these aren't even close.
When all is said and done Aquaman's international total is going to be near double of Wonder Woman's.
Wonder Woman simply didn't capture audiences outside of North America. Personally I think the movie was good but overrated and very poor in parts too (e.g. final act). Can't say I'm surprised it didn't.
Truly the Avatar of superhero movies.Aquaman would probably have a longer wait no matter what due to the massive amount of post. The first one wrapped filming like 16 months ago.
It was just mediocre. Let's not lump all international audiences in as some monolith that only like spectacle. That's nonsense.Why am I not surprised.
WW underperformed overseas because it didn't have the spectacle that many other superhero movies do. Overseas audiences love that.
Success or not, Captain Marvel will show the world the numbers an actual great female led superhero movie can do.Female led action films haven't grossed huge numbers overseas unless they have Star Wars or Hunger Games in the title. I don't see how you can say Wonder Woman's performance was anything but an unmitigated success.

Based on the trailers, I expect a relatively tepid response to that film, but we'll see.Success or not, Captain Marvel will show the world the numbers an actual great female led superhero movie can do.

To be fair, MCU trailers have kind of sucked for years barring maybe the Black Panther teaser. Like they're being edited on autopilot.Trailers look really rough imo. If it's good it will be huge but idk
Yep, I liked that as well.
Anyone know when How to Train Your Dragon 3 reviews come out? The Australian release is tomorrow.
First two did incredibly well critically and at the box office so hoping they don't mess this one up.
Weird, not showing any reviews for me on the mobile site which is why I assumed it wasn't.Seems like the embargo is up?
