Don’t Get Your Hopes Up About Warner Bros’ Upcoming ‘Aquaman’ Movie
My roommate got to attend the Aquaman test screening and this is what he said:
Keep in mind he's a DC fan and I didn't see it myself so take this with a grain of salt.
"It was a convoluted love story that suffered from both bad writing and bad acting. Amber Herd's Mera was boring. There's plenty of action but most of the action scenes are pointless and leave Aquaman acting more like Shrek than a King. The editing and soundtrack need work. Aquaman is arguably the worst DCEU film yet. They succeeded in making him look like a badass but also succeeded in making him look like a stupid, brutish meathead. Aquaman is basically an idiot that fights well kind of like the hulk without Banner. The lack chemistry between Mamoa and Heard didn't help the love story angel that they were going for. Couldn't wait for most of the scenes of them together to be over. There are some horror aspects of the film which would have been better in a JL Dark film. If Justice League didn't make you jump off the DCEU bandwagon, Aquaman will. The Tattoos look cool but they don't fit the character's background, backstory or the overall story at all".
Jason Mamoa's emotional scenes don't look believable, it's like seeing the Hulk cry. It's just weird and a complete fail. Multiple people at the screening commented that "Mamo's Aquaman behaves more like the Superman character Lobo". Couldn't help but think of Batman Forever when Nicole Kidman appeared on screen which wasn't good. To her credit she was one of the few silver linings with an otherwise incoherent movie.
Luke Wilson's character didn't feel like much of a threat and the Legion of Doom thing was a bit predictable. My roommate said that some of the actors didn't fit the characters that they portray in the film and those who read the comics will walk away disappointed.
Jason Evans
Well get ready for massive reshoots that chop up the movie even more.
Joseph Green
OP Burn the fuck in hell you lying sack of pathetic human trash.
David Edwards
>Behaves more like Lobo Figured as much. I wanted pic related, Jason sucks as Arthur. He may very well be full of shit, but would it be that surprising to hear that this might be another shit movie?
Jaxon Foster
>but would it be that surprising to hear that this might be another shit movie? Yes it would, literally every single creative thing we have heard about the film has been a positive.
Nathaniel Ramirez
The only fucking retards who would compare him to Lobo are people who never read 90s or Tas Aquaman.
Adam Miller
>90s Aquaman That's the go to defense for you faggots yet I'm pretty sure you've never actually read that and are basically going off Jason's appearance
Tyler Adams
Neither were like Lobo.
Julian Smith
Who in an average test screening would know Lobo?
Michael Evans
Do you not know who the director is
Logan Sanders
Had to make a contrarian thread after seeing the other one up huh? Fuckin loser
Christian Collins
Someone who's known for trashy horror movies and a fast and furious movie.
Angel Murphy
Not trashy at all, his ghost films are universally agreed to be the best of all the supernatural horror films we have had fucktons of in the wake of Paranormal Activity.
Jayden Miller
>Director under the umbrella of Znyder wants to make an horror movie >Geoff Johns and warner rescue the movie and turn it into garbage
Lucas Campbell
>Multiple people at the screening commented that "Mamo's Aquaman behaves more like the Superman character Lobo".
>multiple people
Whas this a special comic fan screening? If not I call bs on the whole review post.
I believe your friend 100% user. I don't see how DC can save itself. It's a beautiful, instructional trainwreck"
Juan Thomas
>Luke Wilson
Patrick Wilson is Ocean Master, you mongoloid. If you're going to make up bullshit for (You)s, at least do a 30 second google you dense fuck.
Owen Barnes
>my roommate who works for Nintendo.
Jose Johnson
>multiple people said x
Confirmed for bullshit. I've been to multiple screenings in LA and you don't sit there and have a discussion. You fill out a card with some survey questions and then write any other thoughts.
You gain nothing from lying. Do something with your time.
Connor Bennett
>test audience >aware of comic book characters Is it even possible for this to be more fake?
Carson Thompson
Looks like you've been found out OP. What will you do next? How will you salvage your honor?
Michael Ward
OP please don't leave the thread. Just make one more post. I really want you to try and save face or apologize. Don't run away this time. Face your mistake or defend your honor.
Christopher Flores
You really need to watch more movies.
Anthony Powell
So is that your source? >"my roommate told me?"
Bloody christ, this is lazy even for shitposting.
Angel Rodriguez
>Atlantis looks like a mixture of Final Fantasy and the Star Wars Prequels >Anyone who read Geoff’s New 52 Aquaman will love this movie
Daniel Perez
>Atlantis looks like a mixture of Final Fantasy and the Star Wars Prequels I can't even begin to imagine what that looks like.
Dominic Roberts
Thanks for the head-up, Mr. Mouse. I'll just skip this movie and use the saved money to watch Marvel's Black Panther (in theaters now) for the fifth time instead :)
Elijah Collins
Setting that bar nice and low, I see.
Gabriel Sullivan
Look, I love a good DCEU bashing, and still call BvS one of the worst superhero movies of all time, but come on. We fell for this with Wonder Woman and I won't be tricked twice. This movie has zero hype or hate until a trailer drops.
Hudson Perez
>Aquaman is basically an idiot that fights well kind of like the hulk without Banner. >it's like seeing the Hulk cry.
WTF is up with these shitty Hulk analogues?
Dylan Ross
>I wanted pic related and I want pic related. In the end, there no way to make everyone happy, but the DCEU struggles to make anyone happy.
John Morales
>and I want pic related.
So you want a Aquman that is basically a joke character.
David Foster
>Aquaman was one of the only cape movies i've ever looked forward to >It's going to go through development hell and guaranteed to come out dissapointing God. FUCKING. Dammit.
Daniel Sanders
Are you autistic?
Jace Martin
>Amber Herd's Mera was boring Of course it is. This is a woman who made up lies about her husband for money so no way she could get into the right frame of mind for the role.
Jace Ramirez
I just want normies to like Aquaman so as long as the action is cool I am happy.
Is the lie I will tell myself if the movie turns out shit.
Benjamin Phillips
Nu52 Aquaman was great though.
Hudson Perry
Thanks OP. You made the wrong choice, but I'm glad you had the balls to make it loudly. Now we laugh at you some more.
Isaac Thompson
I would have thought anybody going to a comic book movie early screening is a comic fan.
Justin Baker
You don't get to sign up like that nigga. They just pull you off the street and offer a free movie to any normalfag.
Kayden Richardson
>user creates a thread talking about how audience reaction to Aquaman were good
>Disney Shill creates thread with no source that it’s worse than the holocaust
And people still deny that there are Disney Marketers. *sigh*
Matthew Perry
thread three - the remix
Luke Scott
Are you seriously this desperate?
>Luke Wilson Lol OP at least try.
Oliver Edwards
Brave and the Bolds over the top boisterous Aquaman is head and shoulders above every "no guys look, he's totally tough and badass and cool and serious, look at him control Cthulhu" Aquaman
Sebastian Peterson
Nice pasta, Ladderchump.
Oliver Nguyen
It can't be as bad as BvS or Skwad, and it probably won't have as much meddling as JL. I could honestly see this being the second "good enough" DCEU film.
Dominic Rodriguez
>You don't get to sign up like that nigga. They just pull you off the street and offer a free movie to any normalfag. I literally signed up to a website for test screenings less than a week ago and I got invited to go watch Cloverfield 4 tomorrow so idk what you're on about. You really think they do that? They look for target demographics and shit
Justin Gutierrez
look at you go disney, solid effort
Jaxon Richardson
>my roommate Suuuuuure, and I bet your dad works at Nintendo, too.
Ryder Stewart
I believe the OP because I've seen similar reactions on twitter. Even Batmannews reported that the screening took place and they said some of the same things.
Gavin Martinez
If critics say it's bad then it must be good.
Ian Harris
You must have as much hope as me huh
David Cox
I prefer to see my 5 tonner-max, MCU kill whitey, xbox 360 graphics "heroes" thank you very much
Adam Davis
Lets be honest no one really expected the Aquaman film to succeed.
