Aquaman (2018)

[ironwez20]

Was it Alice or Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood with Gary Oldman? I forget which was first.

Well Alice was the first Disney remake then after was malificent then Cinderella and then it all it’s history from there

I can't believe the money this dumb movie is making. I haven't personally seen it so really can't comment on whether it's actually good or bad. And quite frankly don't care. I could care less about Aquaman and seeing Mermen riding sharks, and as I've heard an octopus playing the drums??! I didn't like him in JL so I'm pretty sure I won't like him in this either.

It's pretty funny and such a slap in the face to WB & their attempted DCEU. Aquaman, the highest grossing movie in the DCEU and 1st to crack a billion!!!! It's like April Fools or a bad dream. Something more like a What If scenario fans would discuss for a good laugh. As others have said, no one would ever have believed this possible if someone said it in the past. Imagine going back in time and showing the BO totals to the WB/DC movie Exec's and Zack Snyder. They'd either laugh you out of the room or fire everyone on the spot.



It's not even really doing all that well domestically here in the US. This would've been a flop if not for the international BO becoming so big in the past decade. Since obviously it's the international BO driving this movie, maybe the fans overseas all banded together and made a pact to make this so successful. The same fans are going to see it over, and over and over again... To show WB/DC how mad they were at the past movies, and the $$ they could've made!!!!

What a great contribution to a discussion about a movie.

Can't wait to read your next post.

Snyder wanted to play it all serious and grandiose... but audiences just want a drum-playing octopus.

I'll take it that this was directed at me. Sorry if I upset your movie going experience and enjoyment of Aquaman. A faceless nameless person on the internet posting a comment on a forum made to talk about man dollies.

I guess I offended you cause you liked it? So, do you feel it was an intelligent movie? A piece of cinematic art? A riveting drama that compels one to think about society, their life and views in general? By me saying the movie was dumb, did I make you feel dumb?

Most action/scifi/comic book movies are dumb. Guess I should have clarified and instead said dumb fun maybe? I like lot's of movies that others call dumb, stupid and terrible. I liked the 1st Transformers movie, and I actually enjoyed the the last one, The Last Knight or whatever it was called. My friends make fun of me that I like the movie Battleship. I've enjoyed all the Fast & Furious movies too. And they're pretty dumb. Entertaining, but dumb. There's plenty of dumb movies I like and have spent money to see in theaters and buy it on home video. These movies are meant to be fun.

And nowhere did I say I was "Mad" that it was making money. If anything I am merely commenting on how amazing it is that the world is embracing Aquaman while shunning Superman, Batman & even Wonder Woman in comparison. That the Execs at WB are so confused as to what makes fun compelling movies. That Aquaman is outshining the most well known, popular and liked comic book characters in the WORLD.

And finally, I am allowed to have opinions about things I haven't seen or experienced. I've never been physically abused, but something makes me feel it wouldn't be fun nor should it be tolerated either.

Again, sorry if I ruined your Aquaman experience...

What a ridiculous rant lol. You didn't upset or offend me. I'm simply pointing out that it's ridiculous to criticize a film you haven't even seen. It's like people who don't vote criticizing whoever is in office.

Thanks for the awakening. My ridiculous rant was not just for you but to clarify my post about the "dumb" movie, since you were the 2nd person to "misunderstand" my comment and feel the need to make your point.

Thanks. I'll do better next time.

Oh boy..

Let me chime in. All the 10s of millions of people worldwide who watched aquaman banded together via social media and decided to watch the movie multiple times to make it successful internationally.

On a side note wasn't there fans who watch IW 100 times, 50 times etc? Doubt that happened with a aquaman a few times at most.

This is one of the dumbest posts ever on here.

Come on guys let's not argue about Aquaman which was indeed quite a thought provoking, artistic, and intellig--BOOM!!!!! *wall explodes next to Khev*

Exploding walls in film usually make them better though. I like splosions and violence.

A billion on his very first solo film is very impressive. People can keep making fun of the character and the movie, but only BP made a billion on his first outing, and he had the benefit of debuting in Civil War, unlike Aquaman, whose debut was in BvS and JL. Also, Aquaman didn't get good reviews or the hype that BP got from the critics and the media.

You're just salty because your precious golden boy Cap couldn't make it to a billion without Tony "the goat" Stark's help and it took him 3 movies.
