I had the same problem. Used a lot of hair spray. The ladies loved it.

Nice little science fiction movie. And Theron looked better here than in 'Monster'.

I don't know where your mind is. I'm all for the camera work in the movie. Ebert would give you a right spanking.

I am at the cinema, about to see Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom !

 

Mother (and sister) wanted to see it (for Jason Mamoa), and it’s Christmas, so…. 
 

(20 minutes of ads and trailers later….still waiting…..)

Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom

• This film exceeded my expectations of just how bad a DCEU film could be.  My mother, sister, brother-in-law and I all thought it was bad.   
• Two hours felt like three.  The dialogue was juvenile, awkward and very predictable.  The plot and ending were predictable.    
• Sometimes, it seemed like the actors would wait an extra second for the director to tell them when to speak.    
• Special Guest Star Randall Park, who was the whiny, annoying FBI agent in Ant-Man and the Wasp, co-starred as the whiny, annoying scientist working with Black Manta.  All of his whiny, annoying screen time should have been given to Black Manta.  
• The visuals were very good - better than in the first film.
• Many shameless "borrowings" of scenes and characters from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.  The names were changed to prevent lawsuits.      

I graciously give the film an F.  There is something definitely Fishy in the DCEU these days.  I think it's time to completely clean the tank.

Predictable from beginning to end but it buys me points with the wife.

If I have my timeline correct. That was the final nail in the coffin of old DCEU, the last of the Snyderverse. Everything after this film will be the new DCU. The Batman and The Joker with their sequels exist in their own 'universe'.

I don't know but it was one of the most tedious and boring films of all time!

That is correct.  This phase of DC films is done....thankfully.

Best movie of the year.  Very nice return to form for Alex Payne after the disappointing Downsizing.  A good recent Christmas movie as well.

Probably why Jason wants to opt out of working Part 3.

In the spirit of the season, A Christmas Carol (Alistair Sim, 1951).
