Saw it yesterday in 4DX, so the seats were moving, there was water, wind, lightning effects and more. It was pretty spectacular but it also was like a two and a half hour long roller coster ride. At the end, my whole body hurt.
How about the reverse, when the actor is "aged up" and then NOT shown as their normal selves later? Of all the questions I had about Prometheus, that was the biggest one.
I think you guys missed Ocean Master’s actual motive. It’s not the pollution. Pollution is just the excuse. His real motive is that he wants to destroy humanity because he blames them and Aquaman for his mother’s death. That’s why he surrenders when he discovers his mother is alive.
Why wait 20 years? Why blame surface people who don't even know Atlantis existed? Why not kill the man who boned his mom and had a bastard kid? None of that makes sense even in that context
Did you guys know all of Aquaman’s hair and facial hair was CGI? No, Jason *Moana* didn’t shave. They digitally removed all his hair and then CGI’d it back. Quite remarkable actually.
Hamdon Nut the trick is to render every wrinkle differently. Just like real life no 2 wrinkles are the same. Yes it is very time consuming but well worth it when you see the end product
if i had a nickel for every time DC had to digitally alter someone's facial hair, id have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice
They actually film at a higher framrate to sneak in a frame of rich evans into every video without anyone noticing. This way we get contitioned to love and rever rich.
Whenever Mike said, "I judge movies by how depressed I am" or whatever... that shit was so real. The whole point of entertainment is to distract us from the misery that is intrinsic to existence. Some of these fucking movies add to it! What the fuck, Hollywood?
Do you think movies can also teach or inspire? Can they show us a window into other lives and the human condition in general? Can they affect our perspectives and attitudes? Or are they really just mindless panacea? It feels like you have a very limited scope as far as what entertainment is.
most formulaic outline. you could literally time the moments where they were gonna wrap something up and then something would BREAK THROUGH the wall. you could cut up the movie into 5 parts with those 5 interrupting moments
Ad revenue is high in December (the whole fourth quarter, really) and drops pretty steeply in January. Even if they would get the same number of views, a video put out in December makes more money than it would in January, so they're pumping out as many videos as possible. I would expect to see a steep drop in their release rate pretty soon.
Saw it in theatres. I almost fell asleep lol Older guy took his kids to see it a row in front of me and he was very adamant about how angry he was paying for it lol Good times

I never liked the term fandoy or shill myself but whatever) but when RLM does it we all laugh and enjoy.
Mike didn't mention the episode of Star Trek Voyager with the water planet once during this entire review? Did he finally drink all of the Trek knowledge out of his brain?
I was a bit weirded out when Mera was complaining about the humans dumping their sewage into the oceans of the Atlanteans. If only the highborn can breathe air, this means most of the population has to poop in the water, and as we know, poop floats. They can't be doing that sitting down or else it would float up into their hair. So logically thinking, Atlanteans poop while they're swimming(probably at those high speeds) in order to dodge their own poop. So either they have grand arenas, let's call them "Poopariums", constructed so their people can swim in larger circles while pooping, or everyone just poops out there in the wild and they have no toilets at all(except maybe for the highborn). I thought about this a lot as you can see. I probably have to buy the movie and watch it again as I missed some scenes while thinking about this. Anyways, not many movies make me think about how people are supposed to poop, so I guess that's.. something.
Late reply I know but I always thought of this as a kid watching lord of the rings, I suppose they CAN most likely get their trousers off but do they just do it behind a rock or bush or something? Do they poop in groups? Goonies gave me an unrealistic expectation for portraying bathroom breaks while on an adventure. It would have been a good opportunity for Sam and Frodo of maybe Legolas and gimli to do some kissing shenanigans.
I don't know if it was on purpose, but on at least 4 occasions a fight scene would start with an explosion next to two of the characters heads while they're talking, and I couldn't help myself from laughing from the 2nd time onwards.
It violates Hitchcock's doctrine on suspense vs. surprise. Surprise - Two guys have a boring conversation and five minutes later a bomb under the table goes off. Suspense - Same boring conversation only this time you let the audience know there's a bomb under the table that will go off in five minutes. The audience will be much more engaged for a longer period of time.
@@Bakamatsu-GojiFanArchive the initial comment reads "Finally, I can have an opinion on Aquaman", meaning a person that doesn't have enough brainpower to form their own opinion but will instead wait for the opinion of a high status person so they can call it their own, usually known as the sheep herd mentality

I couldn't help but think it was a similar character. I already thought Pfeiffer looked ridiculous when they found her back, but, man... Kidman improvised attire was even worse! xD
Because Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic portrayal of Selena Kyle as Catwoman in _Batman Returns (1992)_ never happened? That’s why she “showed off her Catwoman skills” on social media, upon finding her whip this March 2019??
Stop telling people that the comments a joke, let them bask in the false sense of superiority that comes with being right on the internet, and then we can just laugh at them. God, I need therepy
I'm kind of surprised they didn't mention that track in the review. I mean, you can't talk about bad music in the movie and not mention the Pitbull song
25:40 Mr Hamada testified that since Jason and AH had zero chemistry among them, they had to "fabricate" it post production, with musical score and editing. *THAT* explains those silly score when they want us to believe that something is happening between Jason and AH.
I can imagine mike in his ear going *put the star trek reference in. put the star trek reference in. put the star trek reference in. put the star trek reference in.*
Me for sure. There were certain scenes that looked like paintings (the flair diving scene into the trench for example). And where I disagree with Mike and Jay is that I really enjoyed all the action scenes in this movie while in Wonder Woman for example, that last fight scene with WW and Ares was incredibly boring to me.
Aquaman, take me by the hand, lead me to the land that you understand Aquaman, the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip Aquaman, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Aquaman, can you see through the wonder of amazement at the oberman Aquaman, the crust is elusive when it casts forth to the childlike man Aquaman, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Aquaman, Aquaman Aquaman Aquaman, take me by the hand, lead me to the land that you understand Aquaman, the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip Aquaman, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Aquaman, can you see through the wonder of amazement at the oberman Aquaman, the crust is elusive when it casts forth to the childlike man Aquaman, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Aquaman
I had to use the lapels of my jacket to cover my mouth because some of the costumes and dialogue were laughably bad. I wasn’t about to bother the people around as much as I was laughing.
I'm glad they brought back the gag of the hero and villain resolving their issues because their mum has the same name (and a pulse). Pretty sure they were in the exact same position as well.
Im a 14 year old boy and my favorite part was where in the beginning they had the villain and aquaman in nearly identical suits and then made them fight under water where the colors are washed out
For some reason I actually laughed out loud when Jay went "we get so swamped during the holidays" and then stared into the distance like a haunted 'nam vet.
You guys are incredible. It's amazing to watch these movies and think about the same things you guys have the ability describe. You put these things into words I feel but can't put together.

I thought about this a lot as you can see. I probably have to buy the movie and watch it again as I missed some scenes while thinking about this. Anyways, not many movies make me think about how people are supposed to poop, so I guess that's.. something.
Late reply I know but I always thought of this as a kid watching lord of the rings, I suppose they CAN most likely get their trousers off but do they just do it behind a rock or bush or something? Do they poop in groups? Goonies gave me an unrealistic expectation for portraying bathroom breaks while on an adventure. It would have been a good opportunity for Sam and Frodo of maybe Legolas and gimli to do some kissing shenanigans.
Poop doesn't always float.
"Is this the vcr repair"
"No this is Mike!!!"
Smashes phone down
I don't know if it was on purpose, but on at least 4 occasions a fight scene would start with an explosion next to two of the characters heads while they're talking, and I couldn't help myself from laughing from the 2nd time onwards.
It seemed as if every action scene took place right after a quiet moment interrupted by an explosion.
5 actually. I counted and was mentioning it to my friend i was watching with as well.
I noticed that yea. It happened five times ^^
That and some of the campy diolaogue had me actualy shaking my head in an otherwise great visual feast.
I thought they were even going to mention it.
It violates Hitchcock's doctrine on suspense vs. surprise.
Surprise - Two guys have a boring conversation and five minutes later a bomb under the table goes off.
Suspense - Same boring conversation only this time you let the audience know there's a bomb under the table that will go off in five minutes. The audience will be much more engaged for a longer period of time.
The ocean is the key to all this
If we can get it working...
Wait. I thought Kitana was the key to all of this.
It’s a larger character than we’ve ever had
The goober fish is stylistically designed to be that way, but their are ways of diminishing its effects
There are some wipeouts in this movie.

Finally, I can have an opinion on Aquaman
Are you joking or a DC fanboy? I can't tell anymore lol
@@Bakamatsu-GojiFanArchive You know fanboys who blindly follow some reviewers opinion and claim it as their own
@@leob4403 or they just agree?
@@Bakamatsu-GojiFanArchive the initial comment reads "Finally, I can have an opinion on Aquaman", meaning a person that doesn't have enough brainpower to form their own opinion but will instead wait for the opinion of a high status person so they can call it their own, usually known as the sheep herd mentality
@@leob4403 Its obviously a joke you moron. or some fanboy hating people for criticising movies they love
Loved the fact that Jay went to preen himself, but then realised his styling was on point
This reminds me what we called the ocean in the Navy: "the big blue trashcan"
"These are real shots from a real movie" Im dead XD
Jason Momoa should've been Lobo.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan should've been lobo. Basically a recolor of the comedian.
Low Blow? ;3
Or stay out of acting altogether
HOLY FUCK YES

There was a movie where Dolph gets killed by a dolphin...but it didn't happen in Aquaman, it happened at the end of Johnny Mnemonic.
What?

Marvel - Michelle Pfeiffer
DC - Nicole Kidman
I couldn't help but think it was a similar character. I already thought Pfeiffer looked ridiculous when they found her back, but, man... Kidman improvised attire was even worse! xD
Yeah literally the same situation.
Because Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic portrayal of Selena Kyle as Catwoman in _Batman Returns (1992)_ never happened? That’s why she “showed off her Catwoman skills” on social media, upon finding her whip this March 2019??
@@kneau huh?
@92brunod I'm just a fangirl for Michelle Pfeiffer's portrayal of DC's Catwoman.
taking itself to seriously. did you not see the octopus playing the drums. was pretty camp
The whole movie was camp. Also, RLM's suggestions to the plot are god-awful.
i am shocked they did not mention the drum-playing octopus
The drum playing octopus is a throw back to the comics, where Aquaman had an octopus drum-playing buddy.
Little Mermaid did it better.
@@justinstewart9145 Aqua man's suit is a throw back to mermaid man.
Finally I know my opinion of Aquaman
That's sad, you should try forming your own. I really enjoyed Aquaman and disagree with Mike and Jay on some points, but still like their review
So, you can't form your own opinion. Sad.
Raul Chirai it’s a joke. What’s sad is that you didn’t understand that

Stop telling people that the comments a joke, let them bask in the false sense of superiority that comes with being right on the internet, and then we can just laugh at them.

"Betty Boop Diaper Hygiene." It feels like this was ripped straight out of my heart...
I love this movie, I love how it embraced the camp of the material and succeeded.
It's not groundbreaking or deep, but it didn't need to be.
Better that than another dark and gritty DC movie.
"deep" Heh.
I clapped when I saw water.
I remember water! Very cool!

Aquaman V. Bibleman - Dawn of True Cinema
Wasn't planning on seeing this movie but I've now watched other people watch it on a plane 5 times.
Am I the only one who thought the italian village scene was like that one montage in Shrek 1
I loved the part with the "Lovecraft" trench monsters with the flare. So upset that part was so short because it was so visually arresting.
There were dinosaurs too. As if there wasn't enough shit to process
And the Grammy goes to... OCEAN TO OCEAN

pitbull(loudly): *WOOOOOOOOOOOO*
Lmao
I'm kind of surprised they didn't mention that track in the review. I mean, you can't talk about bad music in the movie and not mention the Pitbull song
Movies like this are like highly technical guitar solos without any emotional quality.
25:40 Mr Hamada testified that since Jason and AH had zero chemistry among them, they had to "fabricate" it post production, with musical score and editing. *THAT* explains those silly score when they want us to believe that something is happening between Jason and AH.
*editing indulges Mike's quick Star Trek reference*
*edited by Jay Bauman*
Mike's corruption is setting in.
I can imagine mike in his ear going *put the star trek reference in. put the star trek reference in. put the star trek reference in. put the star trek reference in.*
Yeah but were there any gooberfish?
There's always a bigger fish.
I got that reference!.... ;)
HUGE-O teeth
BIG gooberfish
Goofy Goober?
Who else is a mentally deficient adult that loved the visuals lol
Me for sure. There were certain scenes that looked like paintings (the flair diving scene into the trench for example). And where I disagree with Mike and Jay is that I really enjoyed all the action scenes in this movie while in Wonder Woman for example, that last fight scene with WW and Ares was incredibly boring to me.
if by the visuals you mean Jason Momoa, then yes. the visuals.
I loved em, I was laughing the whole time.
Solyn Cassia wow, the man is more than just a looking guy. Jeez
MJ Trace wow you’re so cool
I liked the part where Amber Heard pretended to be disgusted by the "pee on it" comment. She's a really good actress!
Fetish unlocked!
She only likes 💩… on the bed
She's absolutely fine with poop, though.
But she'd be fine if asked to poop on it.
Macaulay Culkin: Makes personal apperance on RLM
Jason Momoa: Has no idea what RLM is
I think we know who is the winner here
But he knows AVGN and that is a fact!!
Wet Wakanda.
They blessed the rains down in Africa too much. Now they're underwater.

I like how Mike called infinity war "The Thanos Movie"
It's nice to go back in time and see these guys having an existential meltdown before 2020
Aquaman was a shallow film. I was expecting more depth.
@ Sorry, friend, I'm just a bit salty after seeing Aquaman.
I was hoping it would be....deeper

Was it abyss-mal?
Hmmm... seems fishy to me.

Thisshitisfuckedup “That’s a good trick!”
“Very cool”
I had to use the lapels of my jacket to cover my mouth because some of the costumes and dialogue were laughably bad. I wasn’t about to bother the people around as much as I was laughing.
I sat through the movie because I was already sitting down....that's pretty much it.
I can't see Aquaman without thinking of Mermaidman, and just how much better that film would be.
But it has... ACTORS!
The idea of Bible Man wanting to take over the surface world for Taco Bell is actually hilariously compelling.
I'm glad they brought back the gag of the hero and villain resolving their issues because their mum has the same name (and a pulse). Pretty sure they were in the exact same position as well.
Im a 14 year old boy and my favorite part was where in the beginning they had the villain and aquaman in nearly identical suits and then made them fight under water where the colors are washed out
If you really couldn't tell them apart, then you need glasses
For some reason I actually laughed out loud when Jay went "we get so swamped during the holidays" and then stared into the distance like a haunted 'nam vet.
The Gungan City from the Phantom Menece got its own movie cool!
Goooogngans
Gungas

You guys are incredible. It's amazing to watch these movies and think about the same things you guys have the ability describe. You put these things into words I feel but can't put together.
Aquaman drowns in its own epic vision. They should have watered it down.

This movie is our punishment for ignoring global warming.
We've flushed so much crap to the ocean, and now they're flushing BACK.
Mike's ideas for Bibleman's motivations honestly sound amazing. Conquering the surface world for Taco Bells and Steak dinners sure is worth it ;).
I imagine, like many others, had to come back to this review after the trial. The "bad acting" snap cuts to Heard is one of the funniest things now along with their incredibly prescient call out of the lack of chemistry between Heard and Momoa.
