    Looks ambitious. You gotta hope it doesn't have that "over the top" feel to it with too much grandeur. CGI concerns there too. Also, the sticking to the comic book look with characters and uniforms might make it seem hokey. Hope it does well.

      I like a little bombast. Remember they're adapting comic books to screen you got to be a bit over the top. I think the insistence on pseudo realism is good but sometimes going for a bit of a bright, over the top comic book action ride is a good thing to have every once in a while.

      As for sticking to the comic book look for the characters, that's a legit concern but I think they can pull it off with Aquaman just by virtue of the whole high concept undersea fantasy route they can go in.

              Saw a trailer last night at Bohemian Rhapsody.

              Really looking forward to this movie. I am a huge James Wan fan and it is in a great directors hands.

                  I agree.

                  That seems short, wish it was longer.

                    I’m a huge DC fan, man I’m passing on this movie, I think it’s going to bomb. Only way it makes money is the women going to see it just for Jason Momoa that’s it’s. Movie looks whack to me .

                        Yeah a lot of people are seeing this just because James Wan is the director.

                        This movie will be successful. If Venom was successful, this one will be a hit.

                          It could be that reserve ticket sales are up because DC fans are looking for something besides Wonder Woman to be a solid DC movie. From the trailer, it does look over the top with all of the elements involved. Also not a fan of the original suit colors being used (for most any comic book character brought to the screen .... in fact, didn't Wolverine make a joke about that in the first XMen movie?).

                            The short clip of the suit in the trailers looks good to me.

                            Different strokes I guess.

                              He received his classic suit as an alternate end of The Wolverine.

                              Or just like the classic X-Men blue and yellow outfits at the end of Apocalypse, or the CLASSIC classic X-Men outfits that are gonna be in Dark Phoenix. Or the web wings in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

                              It's a nod for actual fans, and there's no harm in doing it.

                                Overall, the responses have been extremely positive, with many giving credit to James Wan's vision and creativity for the film, as well as the "visual spectacle" and fun time that it brings to a viewer, and especially a DC fan. A few reactions came in underwhelmed and noted to not have expectations set too high, but that overall the film was still a good time.
