I loved the book. the film was not the book. I've seen a few people defend the film saying it's "close enough" but no, not at all. it completely bungled characters, created new ones, completely rewrote most of the major parts of the book. I *adored* the book. I'm not going to pretend the book was brilliant but I adored it. I couldn't put it down and it meant a lot to me at the time, so when I saw the trailers for the film I was like "eeeehhhhh" because I wasn't sold but the missus wanted to see it. She liked the film. I was spitting fucking feathers when we left the cinema lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clar-ke has herpes 2500 Report post Posted February 8 Yeah they really screwed up the film and left out a lot of important stuff from the book. One thing that annoyed me about the book was the Sixer bad guys, they were not really believable and it was just dumb. I heard the author is writing a sequel, which is totally uncalled for and unnecessary. Talk about cashing in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clar-ke has herpes 2500 Report post Posted February 8 Aquaman was all about the cheese and the over-the-top action sequences. It's not a movie that takes itself seriously at all. When they kept referring to the "ocean master" I laughed my ass off in the theatre based on how dumb it sounded. I still enjoyed it for what it was though; a mindless blockbuster action movie with terrible dialogue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 6574 Report post Posted February 8 I stopped watching the marvel stuff because I'm sick to death of them, haven't seen anything from civil war onwards except spiderman homecoming. The only DC one's I've sat through are Man Of Steel and Wonderwoman and they both sucked ass. I love comic books but I can't wait for the era of superhero movies to be fucking done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
