▫️ Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Will be seeing it soon, expecting entertaining dumb fun. I know going in its people living underwater not Schindler's List. I still do not like Jason Mammary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I just walked out of Aquaman. It was just ok. 6/10 Amber Heard looked hot! Beyond that, the plot was a disjointed mess with too many quests and side plots. Loads of CGI. Jason Mamoa did a solid job and was quite funny. It kind of reminded me of that 1980's classic "Clash of the Titans" (some sarcasm intended). I laughed a little when I didn't really care what the names were for some of the minor characters and more so when I realized that it didn't matter. My 13 year old daughter referred to Willem Dafoe's character as Mr. Man-bun. I was also surprised to see Dolph Lundgren in this movie. (I fully acknowledge that the entire extent of my knowledge about Aquaman comes from watching Super Friends) kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you that the lighter touch is what these movies need (excepting Batman, as you said). WW was better but am glad it's doing well at the box office!

paperheart Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 This year, Warner Bros.’ third weekend of Aquaman is the only title grossing north of $20M with an estimated $30.3M, -42% for a running total by Sunday of $259.3M. (Deadline) $300MM US guaranteed, eyes on Deadpool 2's $318MM. #profitsgreaterthanthebarrierreef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it won't happen, but why jump the gun with predictions when it would be sweet enough to wait 24 hours for the real numbers? Also, Box Office Mojo's got a more conservative estimate of $26M. Either way, it will win this weekend by a large margin, which is cool. Maybe now Lionsgate will ask him to return in a Conan sequel.

(kidding...) BOM is good for Domestic box office ($26M 3rd weekend estimate). International, it's way behind on the largest market. So bigger overall number coming soon.

I stand corrected. BOM has now updated their weekend estimate to $30M based on Friday's showing. Now estimates $260M domestic by tomorrow evening. Apologies to you both.

kimik Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Wow. this movie just continues to run. I have been hearing from more non-comic collecting friends that they like the film and think both Heard and Mamoa are great in their roles. It is funny to hear even the wives talk about how gorgeous Amber Heard is. And then they mention how impressive Mamoa's body is.......
