Quoted from HoakyPoaky:
You mean Aquabro.
Been fooled on DC movies so many times now, only to end up utterly disappointed. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me time again with GL, MOS, BvS, JL, WW......awful. Hard pass this time.
Mera looks hot & Black Manta looks badass though.

Give Aquaman the benefit of the doubt, it’s better than all the DCEU movies put together and I wanted to love them.

Aquaman is fantastic, I went in prepared to be disappointed, like I was with MOS, BVS & JL, but Aquaman was awesome, my son loved every minute too.

I agree with you about Aquaman being awesome and people need to go see it! However.....

OP
Quoted from drfrightner:
I’m not sure anyone has ever made an origin movie as good as Wonder Woman until Aquaman.

In two words “Marvel Studios”.

Ironman is easily the best pure comic book based origin story put to film, plus it was the starting block for the MCU, that is one hell of a foundation to start a 10 year plan off.

Then again if you want to compare DC to DC Batman Begins is single handily the best DC origin story put to film, you could argue that Dark Knight was an origin film for the Joker.

Quoted from Squeakman:
Only if its based on the old justice league cartoons. This new Aqua Man is so fake and stupid. Nerdy blond guy is the REAL Aqua Man!

If your basing that purely off JL, you need to check out Aquaman, while is still a little bit of a Bro it’s certainly played down compared to JL.

And the rumours of the planned sequel where to show him transition similar to Tony stark in the MCU, becoming less carefree and arrogant (aquabro) and stepping up to becoming someone with responsibilities and caring for other than himself oh and being a king.

Agree totally about WW although I enjoyed the film a lot up until the final act, the villain fight at the end was shit and suffered from a lack of imagination and poor direction, something I hope Jenkins address with WW1984 when it comes to the action scenes.
