Aquaman

Dreadful. They keep getting worse.

Man Of Steel being dreadful and Zack Snyder's continued influence over their films completely ended my interest in the DC stuff.

I did see Wonder Woman after it's surprise success and positive reception. It was competent and being set free from Snyder's misery filter probably gave it an instant boost, but it felt a level below any of the Marvel films. The script wasn't really sharp enough, none of the characters were memorable and there was no spark.

Is Aquaman a mixture of both or just shit on its own terms?

I didn’t mind Aquaman. It was a bit more light hearted and vibrant compared to previous DC movies.

The writing was atrocious. Cheesy dialog and bad acting.

The villain is ridiculous. The whole thing was like a Power Rangers episode.

Avengers Endgame.

Decent. A great nod to the past decade.

Snyder’s grim outlook isn’t the issue - it’s mostly that he’s a hack of a director who can’t tell a coherent story to save his life. He’s not even a decent visual storyteller - which is pretty shit considering visuals are all he can offer.

Aquaman is terrible (James Wan so it’s to be expected) and rips off Blade Runner, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Avatar, Lord of the Rings and Flash Gordon in the process. And Nicole Kidman eats a goldfish.

Given what’s happening with Marvel right now, Warner Bros should be sending their superhero films the same way as their MonsterVerse.

Endgame

Satisfying. A fitting end to an epic story built over 22 movies.

Marvel really have created something special.

22 movies?!
Worst.
Trilogy
Ever.
