Let's get fucking soaked with Aquaman
This episode existed somewhere between a lengthy work marathon, an Aquaman showing and was 3 fueled by coffee and Reese's Pieces.
Splish splash, it's Aquaman time. Which is the
kind of catchphrase that kept him from getting cool all those years. I can't
say how much of a relief it is for this movie to not have sucked. I mean, I
loved it, but that was probably going to happen anyway. I'm just glad
critically (and not just in China) it's being loved. Aquaman gives us
the Geoff Johns New 52 run but with some really great additions. It takes
characters seriously that could have been jokey, and it has surprisingly tight
fight scenes right off the bat
AquaDrago is back in full force, and despite playing the same
character as always, Jason makes it work. Set aside your worries that he'll be
"woohoo-ing" out of airplanes the whole film. Momoa's Aquaman is a
fine mix of lighthearted jokes and swagger (so, the Thor recipe pretty much).
The cast of the movie are fantastic, the art style and effects are great and
super pleasing. And the big one for me actually was the spatial awareness the
movie gave the audience. Despite being underwater and often capturing huge
moments of battle or wonder, the movie never allows the viewer to be lost in
the chaos, and always seems to provide grounding shots to give context to where
action is happening and the scale of it. Also check out the shared universe
that the DCU and the Conjuring now exist in. I'd like to think that John
Constantine will be showing up in later Conjuring movies to teach the Warrens
how to banish daemons and such.
Everything else is in there folks, give it a listen and let
me know what you think!
