Aquaman Honest Trailer

Who would have thought that Aquaman would become the highest grossing DC Comics movie at the global box office? Following the doom and gloom of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the inspiration of Wonder Woman, director James Wan steers us right into the weirdest and wildest installment of the DC Extended Universe yet. Thankfully, it’s hell of a lot of fun, even in spite of some truly dumb moments. And there’s just enough stupidity for Honest Trailers to get some good shots in there.

New York’s hottest club is Aquaman. This place has it all: knights riding sharks,water-powered plasma cannons, underwater politics and intrigue, high-tech pirates, dinosaurs, Willem Dafoe with a man-bun, a kaiju breaking through lava, skydiving into a desert, bad red wigs, and an octopus playing the drums.

Anyway, don’t forget to see How Aquaman Would Have Ended, which probably would have been much sooner.
