The family went to see it the other night and it was ok. Good not great. The movie reminded me of a movie mix tape - Avatar, Indiana Jones & the Holy Grail, National Treasure, Romancing the Stone, Jurassic Park. It just seemed that many of the scenes were lifted straight out of other movies.

Just saw it and I was impressed with the visuals. Fight/battle scenes were action-packed and exciting. Some of the backstory development was relatively well done, but as others have said, this movie is long. Some conflict scenes involving Atlantian guards chasing down Aquaman and Mera were too drawn out. Black Manta’s back story and role is intriguing, but leaves you wanting more. A lot of the humor seems forced/hokey, and as easy as it is to look at Amber Heard for 2.5 hours, her dialogue gets annoying.
That being said, this film is a treat for the eyes. Bonus for some Roy Orbison in the soundtrack too! No regrets going to see this.

Better than most of DCs shit they put out recently. Id say it's right there with Wonder Woman.

It was ok. Wonder Woman was a bit better. I was spoiled by the Dark Knigt trilogy and not much meets my hopes.

On the Marvel side, I enjoyed Dr Strange since it was different and thought Ant Man and Guardians were fun, but found most of the other Avengers movies pretty meh until Infinity War.

Question:

It was forgettably okay. Pretty to look at, horrible dialogue, clunky but effective acting. Anyone other than Momoa and it would've been worse, but he carried it off with his "big and dumb" routine. I'd rank this below the rest of the recent DC films.

Atlantis > Wakanda

Meh. It was entertaining. But over the top ridiculous. Plot was pretty stupid. The underwater CGI movement was weird and made it feel cheap. Definitely not the worst DC movie though.

I liked it quite a bit, but didn't love it. Thought WW was a bit better, though maybe that's because Gal Gadot > nearly anyone else I want to watch for two hours. :D

I thought the zany, over the top, "comic-bookiness" of it would not please my wife, who is knee deep in all these comic book movies due to having a nerd husband and two sons, but she really liked it.

It has made the most of any DCEU movie and is closing in on the $1.0 billion worldwide revenue mark. I definitely see an sequel in the future.

Some in this thread expect Deer Hunter? It’s a ****ing super hero movie. I saw it in IMAX. Loved the special effects. That’s what they are. It’s just an eye candy movie. I was entertained. I’ll go back to the IMAX to see the sequel too.
