Did anyone find it really disjointed?

I've been looking forward to this one. I thought Justice League was criminally underrated and Momoas performance was a highlight of that movie. The trailers looked great. Amber Heard as a redhead may be the most attractive woman ever.

But damn it was really all over the place. There were flashbacks, it tried to be National Treasure for a while there, then it sort of did this reverse Black Panther thing, then there was a sort of forced romance-all tied into a typical superhero arc. They threw 3 major villains almost simultaneously. I got the feeling the DCEU wants Orm to be their Loki, but the character seems boring.

I was expecting too much, but it was fun. Black Manta was a solid villain. Sucks that the DCEU is dead because I think the Injustice League movie could have been spectacular.

A lot of plot holes and too quick solutions to problems. It tried to do too much but was still a lot of fun.

Wonder Woman is still the most solid offering by D.C. of the new movies.

DCEU is not remotely close to dead. Aquaman is a box office hit, and Shazam!, Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman 2 are all being released soon, with many more DCEU movies coming.

Who is the third major villain? You had Orm, and then Black Manta who wasn’t it a bunch but was clearly set up a sequel, but I don’t recall a third major villain.

The dude that stuck his head in the toilet. I guess he wasn't a big bad, but he seemed like a villian capable of holding his own against the major protagonists

WW was sooooo long.



Decent movie, but way too long. Couldn't wait for it to end by the time it did.

I'm sorry you don't enjoy every second of hot Amazon women running around with half their clothes on.

Probably should have stayed home and watched your DVD complete box set of "OZ" for the thousandth time. I'm sure that never gets old for you.

Valkyrie and Thor promo released today! Just kidding, it really is a promo released today, but it's a promo for the upcoming Men in Black International (2019), not Avengers 4: Endgame (2019). Sony is just doing some smart marketing to capitalize on today's interest in Avengers 4.

And the Aquaman / DC version of the Men in Black: :laugh:
