They would have like two minutes of dialogue and then jump right into the next action set piece.
The audio was also poor, I could barely hear what was said during these scenes. Maybe there was a problem with the theaters audio, but I've never had a problem before; so pretty sure it was the movie. I didn't connect with the characters like in Black Panther for example (the closest comparison I can think of). The acting was really good, I liked Wilson as Ocean Master, just wish they gave him more to work with. Some of the deaging CGI didn't work for me, Defoe in particular.
The storyline was straight-forward, pretty much what you'd expect. I liked Black Manta as he has always been one of my favourite DC villains, but wish they gave him more to work with. .
Also like in Transformers, how exactly does the world not acknowledge the existence of Atlantis? That's laughable to me. There are giant sea monsters and other crazy crap going on yet humanity is unaware of the existence of Atlantis... How's that even possible?
In terms of rankings I'd go.
1. MOS
2. WW
3. Aquaman
4. Batman vs Superman
5. Justice League
6. Suicide Squad |
Actually curious about this, because I find action sequences to be mostly tedious in these movies. Guardians has a good balance. I've never really read comics, do they have a similar proportion of action to the movies, or do they focus more on story?
