Fun movie. I liked it.
It did drag at times, but overall it was entertaining.
It was as good as Aquaman, IMHO.
Stick around for 2 credits scenes.
Recommended. Go see it!
Aquarium Scene
It was the aquarium scene in Aquaman.
There was something about seeing a little brown kid discovering his super powers while being bullied that simply made me smile and tear up.
Because I’ve been that bullied little brown kid. But without the super powers.
I didn’t expect that.
As for the rest of the movie, I enjoyed it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining. There were a lot of predictable moments that I could see coming a mile away.
The movie looks pretty, certainly, but some of these shots lingered longer than they should have. Some of the action shots looked bad. Period.
And Black Manta was a frakking joke. He reminded me of Gigan in Godzilla Final Wars.
Is it a must see? If you’re a fan of Aquaman or Jason Momoa, by all means, see it.
I would rank it second among the DC movies, behind Wonder Woman, and slightly edging out Justice League.
Saturday
I started the day with an early screening of Dunkirk.
From the standpoint of a history and World War II enthusiast, it was a great story, well told.
From a film standpoint, it was a good movie. I can see it getting nominated for awards, and Christopher Nolan may actually win an Oscar for directing.
But because my tastes differ from an Oscar voter, the movie was simply ‘good’. Entertaining, compelling, but not a film for everyone.
3 stars out of 4.

So many trailers released for so many things that I’m waiting for.
Of them all, the Justice League and Thor: Ragnarok trailers were my favorite movie related ones (Ready Player One gets an honorable mention).
The TV ones were plentiful, with all the CW series and Star Trek Discovery shown.
So much to look forward to in the future.

The Panda’s back.
I don’t know how I feel about this, to be honest. I believe in second chances, and this season is a wash, so what does it hurt?
Pablo Sandoval was young and made a dumb choice, like many young, dumb people do.
We’ll see what happens.
