Liked the Shazam trailer much more. Also the rounded eyes on Black Manta looks hilarious in live action. I guess I just prefer the Young Justice design.

DCEU once again asserting aesthetic superiority over the competition.

The bit in the aquarium reminded me of a similar scene in Phenomena.

I'm torn between it looking cool in terms of action, but having way too much CG... However, you need the CG to pull off this kind of action.

How much longer til we get CG that doesn't look so obvious. I can accept it for creatures, but shouldn't humans look real?

It's still the same CGI bloatfest, dark, and badly paced joke fest as the other DCEU movies... don't see ANY improvements
and Aquaman as a character is snorefest even before this movie

The latter part of your post means you really aren't coming at this from an informed position. The character is great and has been for awhile. Has been through out the years. Know what you are talking about and then maybe engage, yah?

Almost. Maybe it's all the water in the trailer, because I don't see why Aquaman should drive anyone to tears.

I guess it's a 'waiting on a really great steak, and cutting into it to see it's raw' feeling.

Crying reaction videos gets people dem clicks so I oft question the authenticity of tear filled reactions unless it's Kevin Smith BAKED OUT OF HIS MIND teary reactions to things.

I really hate how red/orange Meras hair is. Jason Mamoa is not a leading man. He has negative screen presence.

Just send DC movies straight to video.

I'm surprised at how much I like what I saw post-JL. Momoa seems a lot more charismatic than in that movie. I also think Black Manta looks pretty awesome. Still won't see it or Shazam day one because I still don't trust WB.

Fandom tribalism nothing more. Marvel superfans can not often see the Forrest from the trees same as DC superfans. Weirdo Rotten Tomato/Meta Critic speculators too or people who just to watch things fail. It's a trailer. Movie could be shit but it was a fun trailer nothing more.

I also find it funny how many of the "This looks like shit! Another DC BOMB! 0%RT score" comments come from people whose avatars are some of the shittiest anime characters ever or straight up Marvel avatars. It really tells you all you need to know.

making him into a goofy "dudebro" type is the best way to play it honestly

Didn't even need to wait for a Ragnarok to do it either

Actually, that is a complaint of IW, specifically the Wakanda battle. People care way more about the Titan battle, the one with less shit happening on screen than the massive Wakandan battle. Aquaman looks like a movie that is nothing but the Wakandan battle.

Well it's not going to be a total failure, Wan is directcting the movie. Though I just can't get past the entourage jokes with this character.

I wasn't a fan of Momoa's delivery for any of his lines and none of what was happening in the trailer really grabbed me.
The design of Atlantis seemed cool though and I recognized the trailer music (Two Steps From Hell ~ Children of the Sun).

I liked the Shazam trailer at least, Zachary Levi should do a good job.

Stop trying to make aquaman cool. It's never going to happen.

Aquaman is a incredibly interesting character in the right hands and this movie is looking to be a faithful adaptation of the characters and Atlantis. Aquaman himself is a little off, but this trailer looks like it's going in the right direction.

Great another below 30% RT film DC can add to their repertoire.
Below 30? I suppose it's possible but reviewers are rarely scathing when it comes to James Wan. I could see the low 65-75 range maybe.

Like jl was a nothing movie that pleased nobody and it got a higher score than that. Not that scores are the end all be all, the substance of reviews is what matters.
