Press social media reactions are up and... it looks like Wan made a second best DCEU movie after BvS:DC. Or WW. I might have a superfun night out soon, then, with Spiderverse supposedly being great too (not a huge surprise, that one).
Sounds good, wonder how the reviews will turn out. Maybe along the lines of Wonder Woman.
Nothing will ever be as shitty as SS and JL, nothing.
Honestly, I wouldn't even put those two in the same category. JL is terrible on so many more levels than SS, even if they're both shit.
Agreed. JL is not even a film, SS is a shitty one. Aquaman battles for... almost-as-good as WW, that's the best it can do imo. But Wan is the key here, we'll see... not trusting anyone until I see it with my own eyes in 16 days.
A lot of these critics that are responding positively to Aquaman are also people who did not like JL, BvS or SS. I don't usually give much cred to early social media reactions, but I think I'm making an exception to these ones.
I have faith in Wan, he's too good a filmmaker to deliver something plain bad. So far, it looks like he went all-in. I also think this might be the first DCEU film that manages to get a nomination for Best VFX.
He's got the gills to pay the bills, y'all. DC's AQUAMAN dove into China with a record-breaking $24.6M on Friday--the highest debut of all time for a WB film. It's also the biggest December opening day ever in the Middle Kingdom.
