I mean, I noticed so many references and what felt like blantant rip offs of classic scenes. I still enjoyed the movie but the constant copying started to get distracting.
I haven’t seen the new one but I remember the first one being hella like a Saturday morning cartoon; especially with how damn near every major dialogue scene ended with a wall being blown up and bad guys pouring in for a fight.
Personally, I like that dumb shit. I want the super hero movie to feel like a comic book or cartoon.
Every scene ended with Aquaman taking his shirt off. Where did he get all the shirts??
It was so BAD. How many times did he say “Get your hands off my (fill in the blank)!” This will be a steelbook I buy to complete the DC collection that never comes out of its original shrink wrap.
I watched the original but during the big end battle, because it was all underwater, I wasn’t sure who was doing what. After that, didn’t take need to see the sequel.
What you call rip offs Hollywood calls “call backs” and “creative bankruptcy”
