Aquaman (James Wan; December 21, 2018) Movie • Page 6

What?

 

I don’t think the VFX and CGI are complete yet.

 

Think it's in reference to the "king battling for the throne due to new politics" that Black Panther portrayed.

 

Ahhh, but I mean...that's always been a big thing in Aquaman and they even alluded to it in JL. I think it's just bad timing more than anything.

 

I don't disagree, I do think that Aquaman should be battling for the Throne of Atlantis and this is a major part of his character. I just don't think Momoa is the Aquaman I'm looking for or used to. He would have been suited for a much more macho role as another character. I'll need to see the movie to get my thoughts however this trailer looks to be a step in a positive direction.

 

patrick wilson deserves better.

 

I don't think the CGI looked bad per se, but geez that was a *LOT* of it. I am not the biggest fan of a lot of CGI in general, and I tend to feel like they aren't really at all at the point where they think they are with making something like a shark look real. Or they just don't have the time. The last time I remember being genuinely impressed with CGI and buying the illusion would be Life of Pi and the second of the new Planet of the Apes movies. I didn't see the third one yet. I suppose there's not really a way to do some of the things they're doing in a practical manner.

Aside from the overabundance (to me) of CGI though, I think this looks really fun.

 

No Justice League characters in this.

 

No Batman riding a shark?

Debating on be excited for this now.

 

Test screenings are comparing this to a phase 1 MCU film. Some people are saying it is a lot like Dark World. Lots of varying opinions.

First Reactions to the 'Aquaman' Test Screenings Surface

 

I dig it.

 

yessss. this looks awesome.

 

Ok, this looks pretty cool. The effects are still super noticeable, but I appreciate the ambition and creativity of the visuals. I'm more excited for this now.

 

I'm avoiding it since I've seen enough to sell me on opening weekend and don't want anything else spoiled, but the OG costume in the thumbnail rules! I didn't think they'd ever go with that look actually.

 

Way more hyped for this now. Looks sick.

 

Like an underwater Black Panther.

 

Wow. Great trailer. Even better than the first one. I'm hyped.

 

I'm really curious to see if audiences will laugh at "you could've peed on it" wtf

 

Can studios just accept that the original look of costumes is far fucking superior now. god damn it.

 

They shouldn't use it to promote their movie then...

 

James Wan knows how to direct an action sequence that's for sure.

 

That trailer was really well done
