This movie had EVERYTHING, the dark scenes, the light scenes, the love scenes, the fight scenes, the director asked Snyder not to delve too deep into portraying Atlantis in Justice League because he wanted to explore that world himself, and did an amazing job.

This has got to be one of the greatest looking superhero movies of our time. The shot with the trident and new suit was just epic.

Coolest DC trident fights!! Sorry Namor but the Atlantians are waayyy cooler than the Talokans! Mamoa made Aquaman cool.

I love the casting choices in this movie. Making Jason Momoa the lead in homage to Polynesian culture, while making Patrick Wilson the villain look like comic book Aquaman, was inspired. Aquaman is unironically my favorite DC superhero, and I am still amazed anyone made a movie that treats him with respect. It’s one of my top 5 favorite superhero movies.

the coolest aquaman will ever be ..

"Redheads! You gotta love 'em." The personalities of people with red hair are often believed to be imitative of their red hair, and they are seen as fiery, hot-tempered, hot-blooded, passionate, and angry. That's what arouses Arthur about Mera.

His strength, speed and he's the only one that can communicate with aquatic lifeforms

This movie is tied with the Snyder Cut for the most expansive & epic comic book film ever. The sheer scale & scope of the journey, stakes & action is unmatched. I saw this 7x in theaters. It’s one of my favs

Aqauman being a half Atlantian gives all types of abilities, he can breath both water and air. Which not all Atlantians can do he has incredibly dense bullet proof skin. Night vision, telepathic control over all marine life , the ability to westan emence cold and pressure. He can keep up with Wonderwoman who can move faster than the speed of light. And superman level strength in the comics he's gone toe to toe with superman and not only held his own but almost won. He's a badass.

Aquaman has super strength and super durability due to the fact he can survive anywhere underwater. He can talk to all marine life. He's my favorite DC character. I saw this film 7 times in theaters and bought on KZfaq the day it came out. I love Aquaman!

To answer a couple of the questions you had: Mera can control/manipulate water to an incredible degree, which you saw in JL when she pulled water and blood from Steppenwolf. I think we saw that Arthur can create a force field of sorts as well in JL when he tried to buy time for them to escape that tunnel. But not to the same level as Mera. Atlanteans need those suits to breath out of water. Only a few can breath on land and in water. Atlanteans seem to be powerful, but Arthur stands out among them because of his mixed blood. Yes, in the comics, Black Manta has a big helmet lol. But they managed to make the silly orange and green look badass, as they did the Manta suit. And you didn't ask but a fun fact, because I am also Canadian (BC), they filmed some of Man of Steel in my area, and some of Aquaman in your area! Canada represent! I am glad you didn't let Amber Heard's real life trail affect your viewing of this movie. Personal opinions of Amber Heard aside, this is a fun and enjoyable movie! Question, is that guys head still in the toilet lol

"It's fishman. What do you want?"

i honestly love movies that know exactly what they are. this movie doesnt try to over achieve, its just a fun action packed cgi feast. and thats what makes it one of my favourite movies.

Aquaman is stronger outside of water because of the high pressures in the deep making him super strong, also he only gets weaker on the surface if he doesn’t stay hydrated

The visuals and action scenes in this movie are some of the best I've seen in a live action superhero movie. Those fight scenes are something else. Kinda ridiculous this film wasn't even nominated for best visual effects.

It is Boba Fett and every clone trooper

Whatever happens with DC in future.. I'm always will be DC guy forever.. Hope James Gunn will bring glory to the best comics in the planet 🖤

Definitely stronger under,think about how strong the body has to be to withstand the pressure of the deep

if you liked this you're gonna love Shazam it has that light hearted comedic feel to it also th "lack of chemistry" between Jason and Amber is the official reason given by DC execs to why her role was cut down in the sequel but we all know it's not the REAL reason it was cut down

Black Manta is an actual villian from the comics.And he's a black guy in the comics too.

In the comics Mera and the entire kingdom of Xebel, which is her father’s kingdom In the movie, have hydro-kinetic abilities. They can manipulate all liquids and form them into various things such as air pockets like in the film, water beams, and even fully fledged weapons like swords and daggers. Aquaman doesn’t really have hydro kinetic abilities however his trident does allow him to control the seas, so he’s still incredibly powerful and can control many aspects of water.

DC #1 Always! Well to be determined with Gunns DC… but no matter who he picks they won’t be better than Henry Cavill or Ben!

I know this is generally seen as a superhero movie because of quite obvious reasons but I prefer to class this as an adventure movie much like Sahara, The Mummy (90's) etc I wonder how they explain him wearing armour in the Justice League movie as he gets his suit in this movie which is after JL.

Roses sold in the florist shops don't smell nice, but those grown in the countryside smell beautifully, wild ones too. Maybe it's just my region (Southwest Europe). If you were closer, I would send you a bunch! 😂💐

Subbed just for these DC reactions, genuinely enjoying rewatching abridged movies with this guy!

I think amber did a fantastic acting job. You really believe that they will be best buds forever.

The movie that confirmed that Aquaman is canon in the Star Wars fandom since his dad is boba Fett. Also, I, being an avid lover of dad jokes, lost my sh*t with his "Permission to come aboard" line lol

To answer some of your questions: - Black Manta is THE Aquaman villain (or depending who you ask, second biggest enemy after Arthur's brother) - Mera has Aquakinesis because she's from Xebel. Some of them (but not all) can do that, and it's most recurrent in royalty. This is not explained in the movie though - Apart from his kids across different continuities, Aquaman is the only Atlantean with marine telepathy. The reason is explained in the comics, but just in case they finally explain it in the second Aquaman movie and becomes a plot point, I won't explain it here - DC movies are not inherently dark, like most casual vieweres think (you included, apparetnly). The comics are not either. It's just the edgy style of Snyder in the first couple of movies that unfortunately gave thousands of people that impression.

So glad to see a fellow movie dork get on board with DC's films. Some of them are a worthy watch, some less so but, being a superhero still sounds like the funnest thing one could ever be

Black Manta is notorious for basically being a Terminator. He has dedicated his life to hurting Aquaman both physically and emotionally, and over the years he's proven to have the skills to back it up. He's a great villain because he does. Not. Stop.

Other Atlantians can do the water manipulation but it's a skill, so you have to know how to do it.

Sir, before you watch this reaction, let me give you an instant like. 😅😆

Black Manta is one of his main nemesis, the other being Ocean Master.

This movie had a real "star wars" feel, in the best ways possible

Great reaction..thank you...glad you enjoyed it.

How come you didn't notice your province being destroyed in the movie? If you need to know what I'm talking about, it's during the montage where the news is discussing the coastlines around the world being wrecked and one of them being highlighted is St. John's

The Leviathan voice is Julie Andrews!

A damn fine movie!

Black Manta is Aquaman's arch-nemesis.

Inner Amber : that orm put a tracker on me ahmmmmm

"Not much chemistry there." That's because Amber Heard couldn't act if $10,000,000 was on the line.

In the mixing of Atlanteans and Humans, the ability to talk to all sea creatures was reactivated. He gained all the gifts of both species.

Nice shirt

The guy on the news is Randall Park played an FBI agent named Jimmy Woo in “WandaVison” and “Ant-Man & the Wasp”. The mask that Manta makes that gets destroyed during testing is the original Manta helmet design.

Black Manta is like the joker of aquaman. Aquamans main villain.

9:53 that, is a tylosaurus. A sub-species of the mosasaurus that ruled the prehistoric oceans of the late cretaceous period, hence their nicknames: The T-Rex of the oceans.

Hope you saw after credits scene

Excellent movie 🍿❤️

This is my favorite DCEU Movie so far....Idk what's happening yet with Aquaman 2 and Shazam 2.

Great reaction :-) !!! I love that movie !!!

People used to make fun of Aquaman’s abilities, but he’s actually a really cool character. The 90’s were especially kind to him in terms of how cool they made him.

I have the power He-Man Style! Love that! 🤣😅😁😂

The thing I really like about Aquaman is how it reverses so many of the tropes of this kind of story. The outcast halfbreed who shows up with a monster army is the good guy - and so is the treasonous vizier who's been grooming him to take power from the lawful king. Arthur joins up with Mera not to avenge a loved one who's been slain, but to repay a loved one who's been saved - it's the secondary villain who gets the dead loved one, complete with sacrificial death. It's the humaniform sea people who are pushing for war with the surface, while the icthyc ones have to be forced into it, and the degenerates of the Trench are the first to sign up with Arthur. He doesn't have a prayer of defeating the Karathen - he gets past her purely because he can communicate with her - and that's the same power that goes on to prove his kingship. And of course the tough guys in the bar want selfies with him rather than a fight.

Temuera Morrison is Maori so technically Aquaman is Maori like me. We're whanaunga, chur my cuzzie Aquaman.

Aquaman and Wonder Woman are two of my favorite D.C. movies out there!! I never really got into Batman or Superman, any version of them, but... Justice League is cool too! I have seen most of Henry Cavill's Superman though because it's on cable tv a lot, but, I never had any great desire to watch the Batman stuff... I DID LOVE the Sandman series on Netflix to PIECES though!! It's sooo good!!! I definitely recommend it, if you haven't seen it yet, even if you just watch it on your own!! They're making a season 2 of the Sandman, and I'm sooo excited to see it!!

Aquaman’s skin is super dense and he can withstand pressures deep under the water and can use the sea as propulsion by ‘Bending Water’. There are (or were) Seven Kingdoms spread over the oceans and seas of the world.

I generally liked this film, but the one thing I did not care for was the rewriting of the 'origin' of Black Manta in the first fifteen minutes of the film. In the comics, Manta's father was NOT a pirate. He was a thief and a scavenger who stole salvage from derelict and sinking ships. Aquaman was a very young lad when he encountered a slaughtered pod of whales who had been his friends as a boy, and followed what he thought was the trail of the whale hunters responsible for the death of his friends. Manta's father was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was killed by Aquaman who mistakenly thought he was one of the ones responsible. Aquaman later on in life expressed regret at his younger manner of 'shooting first, asking questions later'. But when the young son who would later become Manta discovered his dead father and searched for his father's killer, discovered Aquaman was responsible, it sowed the seeds for a vengeful and unrelenting hatred between the two thereafter. There is no forgiveness between the two, as Manta has gone on to hurt Aquaman by killing Aquaman's loved ones in revenge. There's too much bad blood spilled between them. But it all started when Aquaman killed an innocent man. I personally feel the comic book version of the story is more compelling and nuanced, but Hollywood doesn't like having its heroes have feet of clay. So they sanitized the story to place all the blame squarely on Manta and his father.

Can't wait for Shazam.

Leather jacket business 😂😂😂😂

This is personally my favourite dcu movie

In the books and the old 60's cartoon the seahorse was a pet named Storm. I was disappointed that they didn't include that in the movie. If I had written it as a kid Arthur would have met Storm through Vulko and they grew up together. Could have have been a really touching scene where Storm saved Arthur's life written. And I think it would have been a hit with the real fans.

Mera is an aqua kinetic basically a water bender. I believe it’s actually a learned skill but they consider it magic or something. They show other people doing it in the comics and animated movies and tv shows

This is a totally EPIC movie. 👌

I love the Trench creature design

During the Depp trial Warner bros director gave evidence in court to say there was no chemistry between the two during filming and they had to use a lot of editing tricks to make them look like they liked each other. SHE WHO WILL NOT BE NAMED accused JD of getting her fired from aquaman but he didn't she got fired because it didn't work between her and mamoa

IS THE BEST DC MOVIE TODAY. "AQUAMAN" TO BE CLEAR "AQUAMAN" IS A "MARVEL" MOVIE", BUT WITH THE " DC" LOGO JUST AMAZING.

That was a marine biologist called Shin on the broadcast... You're talking about Jimmy Woo from Ant Man and Wandavision.

In DC there is a lost land similar to Marvel's Savage Land. It's called Skartaris and is more of a Hollow Earth or "Journey to the Center of the Earth" type. I don't know if the movie references that place.

You should watch some of the DC animated movies..they are pretty good as well

His dad IS Boba Fett

The Levithan is called Karathen. She is 2 Miles (3.2 Km) Long. Godzilla would look like a House Lizard in front of that.

Funny thing taht while yes, Ocean Master is Aquaman's half-brother, he's supposed to be his half-brother on his DAD'S SIDE, so he should be fully human.

Aquaman is more powerful than a normal Atlantean because he has royal blood and because he’s the true king

Water is in-compressible, so yeah It could definitely be used as a weapon. Personally, I think this is the best comic book adaptation yet it’s epic!

Yes, Aquaman is comparable to superman in water, but only about as strong as Wonder Woman out of it.

Nice reaction and waiting for SHAZAM! reaction

I watched this in IMAX 3D and it was so amazing 😍 See it's amazing and people hated it.

Everything's so colorful here 😂! The movie is actually quite nice, but the hot Jason Momoa is a huge distraction.

Awesome!!💯💯💯😄👍👍

Love you man, you're a super sweet dude, but if you ever get the chance to save a mass murderer... don't.

Love the shirt

hes basically Superman under the water. I liked this movie. It was just thrill a minute fun. Lots of great effects Not too significant or heady.

I used to really love this film but something feels off watching it now. I haven't seen it since before the Snyder Cut. Before, when the theatrical Justice League was all we knew, there was little in the way of Atlantis scenes. Vulko was cut all together, we didn't get many up close scenes of the Atlanteans. And so watching this was the first experience we really had for seeing Atlantis. And it was cool, I enjoyed it. But when the Snyder cut did arrive, watching this back, I can see a clear disconnect from Snyders vision and honestly, I'd rather this film was continuing Snyders version. The fantasy looking armour in the Snyder Cut was cooler than this sci fi nonsense. The fact Atlanteans could breathe out of the water (the Atlantean who's mind was read in Snyder cut) makes more sense than this, only royalty can breathe on land bollocks. And the air bubbles to speak was cooler than this films anyone can speak under water stuff too. Another issue I have is that whilst I do enjoy the tone of the film, again, now with the snyder cut released, I wish it was more serious, just as the snyder films were. You said it yourself, this feels very marvel. And thats for a reason. WB wanted DC to be a copy of Marvel and that's just the complete wrong direction to go in. Copying Marvel is the fastest way to ensure you are forever viewed as the copycat, as second best, as nothing more than a clone. Snyder's DC was unique and it's own thing. I make no apology in saying I LOVE THE SNYDERVERSE. Any haters can call me a cultist or a shill or whatever toxic label you want to put on me. For me, Man of Steel was the best superhero film ever, followed by BvS. I love them because they were not like marvel. Marvel is good, but it gets so much wrong/ misses so much which makes great cinema. I do not want DC to copy Marvel. This film copied it. And I see just how much now, now that I have seen Aquaman in full Dark, Gritty Glory.

Basically anyone who’s royalty can breath in and out of water. Atlanteans who aren’t can breathe only in water.

Dolph Ludgren did an amazing job as meras father

He's a superhuman cause his mother was a queen of atlantis and only the royal family has powers

I loved the New 52 Aquaman comics and this film dived into that while making something badass on its own. Really looking forward to the sequel, The lost Kingdom, Amber Heard or not.

Felt like 3 movies crammed into one though!

People complained that DC was to dark and not enough like Marvel so going forward the jokes in the movies keep increasing until they become comedy’s.

Loved it

42:33 ..No!! He is genetically acquiring activation of the Abilities!! of various sea and ocean creatures.-Ernie Moore Jr.

I will miss a lot this members of the Justice League.

cool, love snyderverse

the chemistry problem was because no one could really do that with amber.

Man i LOVE your reactions !!!!! 🙂

Having read the comic storyline that this was based on, I was quite disappointed with it. They took out a massive twist, and dropped all the nuance out of Orm's character to just make him a moustache-twirling villain. I hope we get to see 'Throne of Atlantis' done right someday.

Can anyone remind me why Queen Atlanta can breathe air? I thought only Arthur could because he was a half-blood

You gotta watch Shazam next

Next... SHAZAM!

The dad played and plays Bobba Fett
