Blease give us an Aquaman review
yes let’s talk about The Little Mermaid 2.0 because oh boy
this movie tried so hard. it tried so, so hard. it tried so hard it broke itself under the weight of its own effort
“aquaman’s not just some NERD who loves ANIMALS, he’s a MAN’S MAN, he’s a MANLY MAN, look at his manly beard and the way his muscles ripple underneath his tats, you can smell the motorcycle grease rolling off him. also he can commune with whales teehee (: but MAKE NO MISTAKE HE IS A M A N” *electric guitar screech*
when half your movie needs to be told through flashbacks and drawn-out explanations of legend after legend and backstory after backstory, well, that’s just bad storytelling folks
the soundtrack shifted gears so often and rapidly that my neck still hurts from the tonal whiplash. i’ve never seen a movie try to be so many genres at once and miss the mark on all of them
two people a few seats away from us walked out halfway through the film and didn’t come back
we could also hear audible sighs from the audience every time a Romantic Scene™️ happened
*octopus plays the drums* UNDAH DA SEA
*red-headed woman eats flowers bc she doesn’t understand the Surface World* UNDAH DA SEA
*Big Crab rises from the deep and slaughters thousands* DARLING IT’S BETTA DOWN WHERE IT’S WETTA TAKE IT FROM M E
is the king of Atlantis determined by who has the shiniest fork or by who can yell the loudest? unclear
this just in, scientists were wrong about the earth’s core, it is a perfectly inhabitable oasis, more at 11
is it my imagination or were all the Important Atlantians white while none of the blacksmiths who forged the magic trident were. do you know it is a distinctly uncomfortable experience watching several not-white men slaving away in less-than-ideal conditions to create a very valuable object that they then kneel and present to their royal white overlords. i’m not saying this was done on purpose i’m just saying maybe somebody should have thought this through
didn’t know Mothman had such a hankering for fried fish
a lot of this film was actually very very pretty and Aesthetic, which makes it a shame everything else was so tacky
the half a minute of backstory on the rise and fall of Atlantis was way more interesting to me than anything else that happened, where can I see that movie
doggo was best and most believable character 10/10
I rate this movie a 2/10 for pretty much Everything but an 8/10 for the dog and how much @woppy42 and I laughed throughout. (mostly the dog tho)
