Aquaman Premiere at CCXP: The Best DC Film Since Batman

Finally the DC got it right in a movie! The publisher's fans can now stop hiding and proudly display their passion for the only superhero universe that is better than the Marvel.

A Warner Bros suffered defeat by adapting the classics DC to the cinema with a great sequence of suffered feature films. Until the premiere of Aquaman at CCXP 2018. This text does not contain spoilers.

Aquaman the movie

The film has already had its premiere in China, where some websites even gave a 9 for the underwater production. On Friday night (07), the film was shown exclusively for nerds on duty at CCXP 2018, in the auditorium Cinemark XD. The result surprised.

One of the most cornered heroes in the universe DC – next to Batman, Aquaman looks like a Betta – gained extra shine with the personality of Jason Momoa, who is apparently playing himself, all along.

With a well-written script and visual effects that may seem crude at first, but turn into beautiful paintings as the plot progresses, the new film from DC Finally, it does justice to the comics.

Aquaman and HPLovecraft

Right at the beginning of the film, and also in the trailer, it is possible to see a book by HP Lovecraft strategically placed in the house of the lighthouse keeper, future father of Aquaman. It is The Dunwich Horror, written in 1928, where the son of an albino mother is born in the midst of situations and reaches maturity in the first decade of life.

The book is considered the central plot of the Cthulhu myth, and seems ideal for the appearance of the queen of Atlantis, Atlanna, future mother of Aquaman, played by Nicole Kidman, who sports a vast platinum hair.

Also, in the movie, Aquaman finds Cthulhu in a slightly different situation from the comics. Okay, this is almost a spoiler. I will stop here.

Aquaman at CCXP 2018

Aquaman at CCXP gains special prominence at the Warner Bros, which is one of the largest in the event, must be smaller only than that of the event itself. Omelets.

After facing an intense line, participants experience a kind of movie trailer, with many special effects in a room with projection mapped on the walls and ceiling, which gives the feeling that you are inside the movie. In addition to winning a poster and a promotional bag for the film.

The premiere came to be almost a cowardice. Gathering more than 3000 comic-crazy geeks is sure to have a packed display of screams and passionate applause. But the movie really deserved it.

Jason Momoa, who was previously at CCXP in 2014, made a surprise appearance at the end of the film, in a live stream, directly from New York. It wasn't all flowers, because due to an audio failure, Momoa couldn't hear what Érico Borgo was trying to say on this side.

The inconvenience did not take away from Aquaman's shine at CCXP and was overcome by the charisma of the actor, who risked a few words in Portuguese and lavished sympathy. At the end of the broadcast, he announced a surprise. Erico took over the command and said: “We are now going to invite to the stage, a fan who won a contest to ask Jason Momoa a question”. Here comes the stage Zachary Levi, actor of Shazam!

In a trolling mood, the actor joked that Momoa couldn't hear him, saying he thought he was very sexy. He then pretended to bathe in the mapped projection that enveloped the stage, mimicking a waterfall. Like Momoa, Zachary looks like he'll be playing himself in the movie that opens in April. Let's wait.

You can watch Jason Momoa's broadcast in a video of dubious quality that I took with my cell phone at the end of the preview. Forgive the image level, filming was prohibited inside the auditorium.
