Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (James Wan, December 22, 2023) Movie • Page 7

Too scared to try for that midweek rizz, eh?

 

tickets on sale

 

ugghhhhh

 

The embargo is after it comes out? Buckle up, a shit train is coming.

 

I think they just put the wrong release date in the email. The release was changed to the 22nd from the 20th fairly recently I think. But yeah this is going to be shit regardless

 

Ah. Day before is not much better then haha

 

Is going to be a beautiful fun clusterfuck

 

I just went to Cinemark’s website to look at Poor Things showtimes, and… Aquaman is out today? Nah, that can’t be right.

 

I honestly thought this was a bit. I had to check my theater, too haha

 

Reviews just started dropping. Pretty much what everyone expected so far lol

 

It comes out the 22nd and so there are early showings today.

 

i'm afraid this is a pretty disjointed mess. you can actually tell when there are reshoots or whatever because it's visually drab in the first half, yet much better in the second. a lot of the fun and sense of wonder in the original is largely gone, there's like half as many funny scenes, and it never feels as big or fun as it really should. it's not terrible like some were already saying, but it is boring at times. i did like the last act for the most part. this should've been way more

 

How many drumming octopus?

 

there's an entire band of sea creatures. yes, a band. including a female singer

 

oh, and i didn't wait to see if there was a post credits scene, but the mid-credits was pretty dumb/silly

 

oh fuck yeah baby

 

This just doesn’t look interesting. Can’t believe they couldn’t even drum up a new villain lol

 

Aquaman really doesn't have a very big rogues gallery.

 

How bad do they bury Amber Heard?

 

not as horribly as the trailer would lead you to believe, but she's still pretty sidelined. as is nicole kidman. glorified cameos, practically

 

that said, this isn't good overall, but i wouldn't say it deserves vitriolic reviews or anything. fwiw, i saw this in 3D because that's what the screening was, and i'm not sure how much better or worse that made the experience

 

I think I'm good on skipping out on this. The first one was fun, but nothing I feel compels me to watch another one. Just let this chapter of the DCEU close and start the James Gunn era.

 

…

 

Couldn't even drum up a new octopus.

 

I haven’t seen it yet. But based on a review I saw, that villain comment won’t age well haha
