Basically agree. It was fun and goofy and beautifully shot. I'd watch it again but I wouldn't call it "good."

How much money do the principal actors make when a movie is so successful? Do they just get a salary or also a cut of the profits?

Aquaman just crossed one billion which means a sequel with Arthur is DEFINITELY happening.

Yes, baby can't wait.

Saw it yesterday
He is ... I mean... take me now.
Anyway, the dialogue was terrible.
And there was zero character development. To the point that I thought I had missed a prequel or something.
The underwater stuff was really fantastic eye candy. Almost as good as him. Not quite.
The editing and music was perplexing. So many weird choices
Amber Heard’s wig was so bad. Just awful. I was staring at the lace of EVERYONE’s wig actually.
And Nicole Kidman just stuck out terribly. There was a scene and you just tell she was the ONLY person listening to anything. Like Amber and Jason were reciting with inflection, but weren’t reacting to anything. Just perfunctory. He could be good. I hope he’s working with a good teacher.

Totally agree with your list and especially about the music. In fact, the music just flat out sucked. It was the worst part for me then the acting.

That’s 2 movies out of how many?

Set realistic expectations for a superhero movie. Attractive lead with a few laughs.

Thor Ragnarok is incredibly good.

To each there own bc I def wouldn’t call it incredibly good.

It follows the same format as all the other superhero movies. King needs to be taken down, or someone is trying to be come King, lots of battle scenes, an underlying love story, etc. It's all predictable and the same. With that said, it was worth it for the eye candy. I left the theater with a smile on my face! The acting was not great, but who cares, we aren't there for the good acting.

Going to see it today! My husband is never amused with the smile on my face and glow in my eyes whenever I see Jason Mamoa.

If your husband is a smart man he'll figure out how to take advantage of that.

I thought DCUM DH learned something from the I’d Hit That Thursday thread. Steve Rogers in his Nomad costume = 15 min of foreplay.

Mine benefits from the smile on my face after I see Jason Mamoa.

The movie itself was horrible, but he is fun to look at. I say this as a huge fangirl of superhero movies. We took two 12 year olds and they both laughed hysterically AT the movie.

“Aquaman” will become the first DCEU film to hit the $1 billion mark!

Thank you Momoa and Momoa’s abs! https://theplaylist.net/aquaman-750-million-box-office-20181230/
