The story was laughable. The plot holes were immense. The dialogue was atrocious. The special effects were technically competent and pretty but cartoonish and unbelievable. Easily the worst film I've seen in the last year. If it was a bit campy, then it might have succeeded in a kind of sub-Flash-Gordon fashion.

Aquaman truly feels like a comic book come to life with bright, vivid colors and all-out action from start to finish. Aquaman isn't a perfect movie, but even with its flaws, it's a blast that builds a massive new world in its own corner of the DCEU. Entire races and armies battle against each other for control of the world's oceans. Beautiful aesthetics fill this movie with stunning Greek landscapes to vast …

I just came back home from watching Aquaman on the IMAX theater in Balexert in Geneva and thought that I should write something up while it’s still fresh in my mind. Something that happens all too rarely. I have to say that, overall, I had quite a blast watching this movie. It is indeed a good superhero and special effects extravaganza. In addition it is quite beautiful. A lot of the underwater scenes are very …

67/100 Details the origin of Aquaman and how he became the King of Atlantis. Grand in scale, this exquisitely gorgeous display of action and spec fx is mesmerizing ...certainly an equal to any Marvel Cinematic Universe production. However, as wonderful as it is, I still can't place it in the same echelon as the MCU. I think it has to do with the MCU's brilliant knack for casting just the right person in just the …

You guys ever think about the fact that the highest grossing DC movie of all time is fucking Aquaman
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 243 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
Aquaman grossed $335.1 million in the United States and Canada and $816.9 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $1.152 billion. It became the highest-grossing installment in the DCEU and the highest-grossing film based on any DC character as well as Warner Bros.' third-highest-grossing film worldwide behind Barbie ($1.446 billion) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 ($1.342 billion). Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $260.5 million when factoring together all expenses and revenues, making it the fifth-most-profitable release of 2018. The day after announcing the early Amazon screenings, Aquaman's first 24-hour pre-sale totals…

And AquaMan says to Batman, "Recognize that smell?", and Batman says, "Fear". I smell fear.

This account believes: 1) Rings of Power > House of the Dragon 2) Man of Steel is the most underrated superhero movie 3) Grizzlies > errbody 4) Tolkien > Sanderson > Martin 5) Arrival might be the best movie in history 6) Aquaman is sublime
positive · AI labelView post →Just before heading out to see the new Aquaman movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →I think studios have been chasing that high ever since. Longer run times became the sign of a tentpole adventure movie, with bigger budgets to match. Longer runtimes also ate up screen availability at the local multiplex. It kills mid-budget studio pictures and gives us a 2.5 hour Aquaman movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →It remains a truly stunning upset that they made an Aquaman movie and it was good
positive · AI labelView post →Also something this morning reminded me that I watched the Aquaman movie on the plane and it had some incredibly cool visuals paired with the stupidest dialogue I've heard for a while even in a superhero movie Many cosmic horror fishmen & monstres etc 14/10 would watch again with the sound off
neutral · AI labelView post →They also have an Aquaman movie where the cover looks like a porno but no it’s actually about Aquaman. Lou Diamond Phillips is in it.
neutral · AI labelView post →How long do we have to wait for the movie version of Aquaman to do the main thing he does in the comics: reminding people to use a water-based lube.
neutral · AI labelView post →I once co-produced an Emmy-winning short film...and one of our production assistants was Geoff Johns, who would later go on to become a massively successful film producer & screenwriter, including Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam! & more.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m glad the sacred timeline is healing. Jason Momoa as Aquaman might just be one of the strangest casting choices in comic book movie history.
negative · AI labelView post →You liked Thor Ragnarok ? Yes And Aquaman ? Yes And that D&D Movie ? Yes ? But you don't like the looks of Masters of the Universe ? Well I do, but I'm not a He Man fan so I don't think this has anything for me.

negative · AI labelView post →Watching Aquaman for the first time and two things come to mind: the first is that I'm SO fucking gay. Seeing Jason Momoa shirtless in the intro was SOMETHING. The second is that they should have just made an animated movie with the level of CG this thing has.

positive · AI labelView post →Aquaman 2 is the funniest movie in recent memory because it’s major musical sting for any time a villain is on screen is literally DUN DUN DUN
positive · AI labelView post →Aquaman 1 is a fascinating movie in the way I can tell the exact structure of the mid 2000s ps3/wii/ps2 game based off it would play. Down to the loading zones, boss fights,level gimmicks and where the game would chug/crash.

negative · AI labelView post →oh man Jeff Bridges would've been AMAZING in a '70s Aquaman movie though? like something sorta King Kong meets Warlords of Atlantis meets Lightfoot & Thunderbolt?
neutral · AI labelView post →Like MOS was $670M. BVS was an $875M movie. Wonder Woman did $823M. Aquaman $1B. They weren't losing money on paper, they were also looking at reactions versus Marvel getting everyone to love the talking space raccoon and saying "This should be different."

neutral · AI labelView post →The premise of the new Tron movie is “what if we didn’t go into the computer this time,” which reads about on the level of “what if we did an Aquaman movie but we’re not going underwater this time.”
neutral · AI labelView post →15 mins into Aquaman 2 before realising I’ve seen it. I’ve never done that with a film before. I usually know straight away and just from the title. That’s how forgettable it is.
negative · AI labelView post →Aquaman felt like two movies running at the same time. One was a fun action comedy, the other was a serious movie that had places to go. Each scene had plot shots and comedy shots, and they didn't feel like they had been shot together. My theory, based on zero research, is that half the movie was reshoots. Whether it was shot super serious and turned into a comedy later or the whole story was replaced after the fact, I don't know. Either way, it likely bears little resemblance to what he…
neutral · AI labelView post →The problem with being two bears at once is that you're obligated to perform the duties of both. Guest starring Snow. Boy is he going to be annoyed when he finds out it's intentionally lame John DiMaggio Aquaman calling him, and not hot movie Aquaman...
neutral · AI labelView post →Jason Momoa going from the lead of Aquaman, which made like a billion dollars, to playing Lobo in a Supergirl movie feels like the ethos of the James Gunn DCU in a nutshell
neutral · AI labelView post →Guess I have to see Kraven to see if this rivals DC's sudden end with their first film universe with Aquaman 2.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reasons to see a superhero movie might be: - the superhero is traditionally popular (e.g. Spidey, Supes, Bats) - the trailer is really cool (e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy, Aquaman) - killer word of mouth - you like the director - etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not saying this means the 2010s "Every superhero movie hits, AQUAMAN makes a billion dollars!" Boom is back, but it *does* mean audiences are still thirsty specifically for a Peter Parker who can fight Daredevil's ninjas and bump into the Avengers or the X-men.

neutral · AI labelView post →Nobody can ever convince me that shit like "Martha!", inserting Doomsday into the climax, the characterization of Lex Luthor, the non-existent characterization of Superman, the boring final fight, the bad dialogue, and the film debuts of Aquaman and The Flash being email videos make this movie good.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Oh, but Aquaman was his breakout role" He appeared in BvS for three seconds, Josstice League where people "liked" him in a movie most agreed was an afterthought, then his own solo movie which broke a billion and that was after Snyder was long gone from DC
neutral · AI labelView post →Never changed the channel after wrestling so Aquaman is on and boy did I just remember that there's a Pitbull remix of Africa in this movie
neutral · AI labelView post →What about Aquaman? Yes, his first movie made a billion, so they may wanna reboot that. But if I were Gunn, I’d add Aquaman as flavor to future DC films rather than attempt another movie anytime soon. And I’d lean into classic Aquaman vs. Mamoa style. If he pops in a JL movie, then maybe a spin off.
neutral · AI labelView post →also on the DC side: - Batman Forever deserves more love! - the most recent Suicide Squad film is legitimately great - more queers need to see Supergirl for Faye Dunaway alone - Aquaman is incredibly dumb and nonsensical and thank god for that.
