The least any production can expect is indifference at this point.Ī great movie will easily convince people to watch and rewatch it. The two reactions are absolutely opposite, but it does show that the movie draws attention from its audience. Since ‘beauty is in the beholder’, it is likely that movie visuals are in the eyes of the film viewer. Could Aquaman 2 Get The Same Green Lantern Fate In DC? It’s still a jaw-droppingly gorgeous fantasy spectacle, with crisp, clear and colorful underwater photography showing that James Wan isn’t handing over the underwater franchise crown to James Cameron without a fight. It even described the movie as James Wan’s sort of challenge to James Cameron’s underwater movie Avatar: The Way of Water in terms of visuals. Meanwhile, an article from The Wrap seems to be describing a whole other movie. That ancient evil is the thing that looks horrible! So that’s a huge problem in my opinion if that’s gonna be the thrust of the movie going forward. Arthur will break Orm out of prison to go off an adventure to stop Black Manta from unleashing the ancient deepwater evil. Reportedly, James Wan describes the upcoming sequel as somewhat like a ‘buddy movie’ between Arthur and his brother Orm. Which was like a foggy green ‘tentacle-ly’ thing. I’m talking about the design of whatever it is that they are fighting, looked very much like that Parallax villain that Ryan Reynolds fought at the end of Green Lantern. And that could be the fact that they need to finish it but I’m not basing it on the fact of this is unfinished green screen. Sharing the frame with Hannah Saulic, O’Connell said: In a video uploaded on YouTube, he firmly stood his ground with his apparent dislike of the movie based on what they had seen. He said:īig GREEN LANTERN (2011) vibes off #AquamanAndTheLostKingdom footage.

DC has done worse, right? Aquaman 2 Might Be DC Studios’ New Green LanternĬinemablend’s Managing Editor, Sean O’Connell, tweeted his initial reaction to the footage.

Meanwhile, the Audience Score shows it at a higher 72% from more than 25,000 ratings. The PG-13 Action/Adventure movie that ran for 2h 23m generated a 65% rating on the Tomatometer. Or shall we say “swim”?Įven though it didn’t rack in stellar critics’ score and audience ratings, its Rotten Tomato standing still wasn’t so bad. With a production budget costing $160M, it actually breached the $1B mark to $1.14B in the worldwide box office throughout its run. Neither was the 2018 Aquaman a joke in terms of its financial performance. Who would dare to still use Arthur Curry as a punchline when Momoa can do a wood-splitting throw of an axe just for fun? The movie turned him into the badass Atlantean royalty that Momoa embodied effortlessly. The movie practically removed the Atlantean superhero’s identity as a punchline in memes about the ‘Superfriends’. Undeniably, director James Wan’s 2018 Aquaman was definitely a huge hit.
