    I believe that its our responsibility not to support anything that Amber turd has a part in. The double standards is the reason, its our protest. Jason will be ok, because there is life after, Aquaman for him. Amber hasn't been held accountable at all for what she has done. Not supporting this movie will teach her and Hollywood. A lesson. # Justice for Johnny Depp

      Honestly, they had two options. When they fired Johnny, they should have fired her as well to not be involved.
      But since they chose to side with Amber and chose to "wait and hope, people forget the trial." (For FIVE freaking years) Similar to what they did with Ezra, they should have kept the film as they first intended. Basically like that one producer said.
      Regardless of what Amber does. Again... Like Ezra.
      This way, they would AT LEAST have the Amber fans as part of their sales. Regardless of their actual number.
      Them half assing it like this, only led to both sides hating them.
      Also... I'm curious to see how well the movie would have gone if the Amber fans had their full support.
      They didn't support her in the movie she also was a producer of. But at least Aquaman is a mainstream thing they have a higher chance to enjoy watching.

    Even as someone who didn't want to watch Aquaman 2 solely because of Amber Heard, I still think downplaying her role was a bad idea. They should have either had her in the movie as much as she was intended to be, or they should have re-cast her. Simply making her show up in the movie less doesn't address the underlying problem. It's just using duct tape to fix a flat tire.

    Godzilla: Minus One took 15M to make. It has grossed more than all recent Marvel and DC movies combined.

    • @EVAUnit4A
      @EVAUnit4A Před 6 měsíci +9

      _Godzilla: Minus One has not_ "grossed more than all recent Marvel and DC movies combined"; that is simply not true. Where _G:MO succeeded_ compared to "all recent Marvel and DC movies combined" is in making an actual _profit_ at the box office.
      If you take _any_ movie's publicly-stated Production Budget, and then multiply _that_ by three (which _roughly_ accounts for things like taxes, the theaters' cuts, bonuses to production staff and actors, advertising, merchandise, financial inflation rates, etc.), then _that new number_ is what _every single movie needs to make just to reach a profit._
      In this case, _G:MO_ was produced for $15Million, and if you multiply _that_ by three, then you get $45M. As of posting, _G:MO_ has made $61.5M worldwide, meaning anything _above_ that $45M is profit.
      In stark contrast, _Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom_ was made for $200M (although revealed tax returns about six months _from now_ will reveal the actual cost, instead of the making-them-look-good stated budget). If you multiply _that_ by three, you get $600M _required_ just to break-even. Now, as _Aquaman 2_ is only days into its run [as of posting], we can make projections how far it might go, but we won't know how it "legs-out" until its theatrical run is finished. The _projection estimates suggest_ that _Aquaman 2_ will fail to make bank, but because it's so early into the run, we cannot say for certain.

    One of the biggest mistake was how did Black Manta knew about Arthur's son. What they should have done was when Black Manta was looking for the tech was that Arthur's son's power was so strong that it awaken the spirit of the evil king. He hols Black Manta how to use the tech to find Arthur but instead it let him to the son. I think when Orm and Arthur are holding the evil triden they should have fought. Then Arthur tells him that I true King doesn't seek power. That is when he gives it up and he comes back to normal.

    I personally will not pay or support Aquaman because Of Amber. Aside from the Trial; The Studio knew from jump they have zero chemistry together. And after all the protest of wanting this movie to be cancelled the studio should have!! They should have remade this movie. It's not going to make a lot of money. People may bootleg it, finds ways to watch for free etc.... the trailer for Aquaman popped on after I was watching a video and honestly just from the trailer it looked a hot mess! The studio deserves the downfall since they were arrogant and did not care what their audience was saying. They did a lot of re-shoots and editing and still from the sounds of it could not make it good.

    Amber the husband beater and climate change are enough to keep me out. But I also don't understand the black manta character. They give no reason why he can understand and reverse engineer Atlantian technology.

    DC should just do a one for one, word for word copy of all the justice league and justice league unlimited series to a live action film. Some of DC best writing came out of those animated series. 52 episodes 1/2 hour each episode combine starting from the beginning 4 episodes into a movie. Would give them 13 two hour long movies.

    Actually that bothered me all the way from the first movie...
    Arthur haven't played any role in those two pirates' lives at all. Their own actions was the cause of death of Black Manta's father so I've always thought that this villain's motivation looked/feeled kinda stupid. And coincidently, Black Manta actor's overdose acting made it even more hilarious/dumb.
    End of the message^^

    Thank you very much. Now I have to delve into Aquaman comic books (old story lines). To see what’s up…for this movie. 🤣
    One of my brothers saved his allowance for Aquaman and Batman. In the 1970s. I was all about Wonder Woman.

  • @Rodimusbill
    @Rodimusbill Před 5 měsíci +1

    I enjoyed this movie. Yes, the burning of the fuel to melt the atmosphere was corny but the rest of the movie I liked. Mera should have had a more presence, I don't care anything about the amber herd crap. She's a great Mera and they underused her. I totally understood Orms personal journey. Wb had too many resorts and involves themselves in these movies too much. I loved the voice over in the beginning. It couldn't have explained it any 9ther way without it taking up too much tume

    No worries on spoiling, I have no intention of seeing this film. On that note thank you for jumping on the grenade by watching it😂. After James Gunn announced a reboot of the DC movie universe, this film was pretty much DOA narratively since it’s connected to the Snyderverse

    Interesting take from Papa Chen. It is true that the theaters has a severe lack of "family friendly" movies and sounds like this is one of them. The question is whether the fact that the DCEU is getting rebooted will affect things. Papa Chen who doesn't know about it is happy, other people might not give it a shot or will just wait for streaming.

    I like that scene how his brother gets buffed as soon as he touched the water 😂 C'mooonnn
    Also they knowe that people will hate amber heard and instead of removing her they minimalise hers role and made it awkward and worse. All in all it wasn't bad ,it was okey , but movie like this it must do more. There is so much amazing actress out there that c'd play the role instead of amber. Me personaly dont care about her being in the movie or not , but for the movie she is simply not good. Movie has a good story about two brothers bonding.

    They should have gotten rid of AT in the first scene, like The Spy Who Shagged Me did to Vanessa, by having a giant sea whale burst through the ceiling and crap out a giant turd and killing her character. They could have cameod Johnny Depp as a - drunken pirate - servant coming in and quickly exiting saying “I’m not going through that again.” Then Arthur could meet Emilia Clarke out of the corner of his eye, cock his head, say “Now this is something more like it!” and go on from there and forget Mera 0 ever existed.

    Three things sank this movie: LAME superhero movie fatigue, Amber Heard and the fact that the Synderverse is ending. The latter KILLED any further enthusiasm for DCEU movies. DC should have simply recast Amber Heard.

    Its Disney. Disney stopped making new ORIGINAL content years ago; they just churn out endless sequels for franchises they buy. And having drained a franchise dry, they find a new franchise to buy and destroy.
    Not just a problem with Disney, obviously. The BBC is doing it with Dr Who ...
