Or movie trailer review? Anyway, I watched two trailers for Aquaman last night, and while I am really truly still struggling with the fact that his name is ARTHUR, I enjoyed the trailers very much!

I mean, it looks a lot like whoever made it decided that any kind of character development could be replaced by an escalating series of fight scenes, but at least the fight scenes look cool? And underwater! That’s neat!

Re: the rooftop foot chase. Has this same scene been in a bunch of movies? Because I feel like I’ve seen it at least twice before, and I don’t watch that many movies. (Though to be fair, it’s definitely more likely that I would watch a movie WITH a rooftop chase scene than WITHOUT.) It seems to be a great excuse to show off parkour, with a side effect of making me feel bad about my physical fitness.

(Also, I was going to write about how last December’s movie was Solo: A Star Wars Story, and this looked better, but then I checked and apparently Solo came out in May? Of this year?! How long has 2018 been going on???)
