Have you realised the disappointing reviews that movies with incredible budgets are having these days? And also… can you blame them? I was watching Aquaman yesterday, and sadly, it took me 10 minutes to start searching if it was Amber Heard in the movie (honestly, I’m glad she was; I don’t like it when movies replace actors looking similar).

Worse than that, it took half the movie for people to start walking off the cinema and by the time the “post-credit scene” was supposed to happen, we were four people still watching.

The silent flop of superhero movies from the biggest companies such as Marvel, DC and related is becoming too apparent, and even though we could blame the writers, the extreme CGI and post-production and vice versa, it is understandable that people simply don’t enjoy Jason Momoa flexing his muscles for no reason, I’m missing content, storytelling, emotions and all the things social media and society are stripping away from us.
