New direction for DC?

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2019)

I really enjoyed this one and I kind of wish I'd have waited to watch it the first time at home in 4K. Am I the only one that feels that theater isn't as good quality anymore? Anyway I don't know much about Aquaman, so that is maybe what furthered my enjoyment. This movie was funny at times, awesome action, and looked amazing. The underwater stuff was so pretty. Aquaman might be a good one for Imax, but nearest one for me is about 45 minutes to an 1 hour away. I am a bit confused as to where the movie falls in the DCU timeline. There are 1 or 2 lines that maybe should have just been thrown out and would have solved that issue. This one feels like it should happen before Justice League, but because of those lines it has to be after. The confusing part is that if this is post Justice League, why does it feel like he has never been to Atlantis before? Black Manta was pretty cool and stay tuned for the post credits scene at the end. He didn't have much in this movie and that's ok because there is already a lot going on. It feels like they are building him up for future things too. Other than the confusing timeline stuff some of the underwater creatures brought Gears of War images to the mind. You will know what I'm talking about when you see it! Please let this be a sign to the powers that be to discontinue the use of Zack Snyder. James Wan did such a great job with a much lesser known character. Just imagine what he or someone other than Snyder could do with Batman. All in all there is still hope for the DCU, so now let's hope for the best with Shazam!
