Lots of them are saying it's amazing and expected earnings are being adjusted higher. They're planning to pull over 100 million by Christmas.

That's.... A really optimistic number but I'm hyped.

That looks a little too high but I'll hold out a little hope. I actually liked Aquaman so I want to see the movie regardless.

This is kinda my reaction. He was never as big and cool as Batman, Superman, etc. He controls water and marine animals -- kinda boring.

It was originally set lower. It's been adjusted based on critic reactions.

Everyone is saying this is probably going to be Momoa's biggest thing yet

that's not saying it's better than the dark knight

it's saying it's better than every other DC movie released AFTER the dark knight

which is honestly not a high bar but still encouraging

Really the only movies post-Dark Knight it has to compete with are DKR and Wonder Woman. Both were solid but not the best thing ever or anything.

In the comics, Aquaman was one of the best series during the New 52 era. Aquaman can be cool under the right situations. He's not his character from Justice Friends. He gets a bad rap from that but he's always been better than people give him credit for

This is kinda my reaction. He was never as big and cool as Batman, Superman, etc. He controls water and marine animals -- kinda boring.

After the New 52 happened, Aquaman was given near-Superman levels of strength as well as a pretty badass trident.

Still not impressed. Super strength is the fee to even sit at the big boy hero table nowadays.

As far as DC movies go, I think they're generally more mixed, but still more positive than general public reactions.

Pop culture really tried to castrate Aquaman and present him irrelevant.

Justice League showed me a version who was more of an ***hole than Batman. Flashpoint showed me a King ready for war (as well as a Queen in wonder woman who was a bloodthirsty warrior). Comics showed me the king of the sea and visually that meant something (Im sure you've seen the scan im talking about.)

I am completely on board, they're day one, and hoping that at some point he loses his hand lol.

Superfriends did him a disservice. He's always been one of the biggest badasses in comic books but everyone just associates him with having a starfish on his face.
