I’m always impressed by how the film makers made Black Manta look like he just jumped off the pages of a comic book! They did an excellent job bringing him to life. My favorite scenes in the movie are with Black Manta. With that being said, I seriously hope he plays a much larger role in the Aquaman sequel.

Well he's going to at DC Fandome the making of the sequel Aquaman The Lost Continent showed Black Manta playing an even more pivotal role in this story.
A lot of superhero movies over-complicate things. The material is all there in the comics, just copy that shit lol it always turns out good when they copy the comics, especially the best comic stories, can't go wrong there.
What really got me excited was not only Black Manta's look, but also his lines. Especially that first line. Such dark poetic prowess. Credits to the writer.
Yep. And Abdul-Mateen's portrayal of the character was fantastic. Honestly, they took one of DC's silliest villains and made him awesome. They also somehow made Jason Momoa look bad-ass in gold and green with the original Aquaman costume design. Also, Julie Andrews as The Karathen (Kraken.) God, this movie was so full of win. Don't understand why some people hate this film. Yeah, I've watched the various "Why Aquaman Sucks" videos. I just can't agree with most of the points.
I love the way the action scenes in this movie were shot. No disorienting shaky-cam, overuse of close-ups, quick cuts or lighting that's too dark to make everything out. Instead the action is very flowing, creatively choreographed, vibrantly colored, and above all, fun to watch!
Camera movement used depends on a lot, handheld might be better for other movies then stable, just because they used a different style for this one doesn’t make others bad
@@moneylover318 Funny enough, I grew up on the old Aquaman cartoons (my mother was a MASSIVE Aquaman fan, and had tapes of them)...and I'm starting to realize that the way Black Manta sounds in the movie is very similar to how he sounded in those cartoons. More heavily modulated, but damned close.

Kept the general design of the suit, while still upgrading it to something aesthetically pleasing for a live action version. Completely badass IMO. It’s one of the reasons this movie is my favourite DC movie
@Christine Felice It is kind of amazing, but then people have been updating character designs for decades, and very few look exactly like their original/debut comic counterparts these days.
This and Mysterio made me happy. There is a way to make things cool in live action whist still looking like the comics. And that we've reached the point that the comicy look is accepted. Yea they look kinda goofy and impractical, but who cares, its a superhero movie
@@samr227 Exactly! There are some insanely goofy designs and looks in the old comics, but that doesn't mean they can't work in live action. Heck, a prime example of this is Joker from Batman. In the comics, he's always got extremely silly expressions on his face, and the green hair and purple suit would seem overly flamboyant by today's standards... but then you look at Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger's look, design, and way of playing the role. Similar enough to the comics, but with just enough of a redesign to look and feel intimidating. I do like how both DC and Marvel are branching out with their characters and villains, not just using the same over-used IPs like Batman, Superman and Spiderman... and even if the villains are kind of goofy looking, it's nice that there are people who put in real effort to make them worthwhile looking enemies by today's standards.
@Isaac Altman And you know what? That's ok. That's your decision and your prerogative. Not everyone has to like the same things. I like the movie, you do not. Nothing wrong with that at all.
What really amazes and impresses me is that, out of everything and I mean EVERYTHING that could have been and was CGI, Black Manta was 100% real, practical costume... and it’s the one effect that you’d think they’d CGI for sure, but they made it for REAL. Bless James Wan.
He’s very cool and has great potential but his problem is how linear he is. His only goal is to kill Aquaman. He’s never known for anything else. Deathstroke is a notable enemy of Dick Grayson, Batman AND Green Arrow, and aside from them he is known as the worlds deadliest mercenary. I wish DC would expand Manta more so he was more useful. In Injustice 2 a lot of his into dialogue with meta humans reveals that he has a common hatred for all meta humans, not just atlanteans which is a good direction for him honestly, it’d be nice to see him move beyond a grudge over one man and his kingdom to generally being nothing but a human who’s driven and devoted to hunting metas. Big game hunter kind of character.
I want a live action Darkseid done properly but we all know the normies who only watch marvel movies (watch not even read comics) will call him a Thanos ripoff
Black Manta Suit really stole the show. They captured the design perfectly. I was watching the action breakdown by James Wan and this sequence was crafted very meticulously.
Such an underrated scene, I love how smooth the transition was from Mera to Aquaman at 1:47 and at 3:10 too, I don’t recall seeing that in cbm before, correct me if I’m wrong
I don't know why some people have already chosen their sides without even getting to know the scenario. I like both of them, but still let the court decide. Just because we are one actor's fan doesn't mean we have to always support them. Fault can be on both sides or neither side, we should just wait until the final verdicts arrives.
black manta was a atlantian, not a human. also he wasn't black so extremely not accurate black manta. what reality are you from, apparently not this one.
@@Deathwish777 You clearly did not read the comics nor know the history of Black Manta. He's originally an african american boy who would soon take the name 'Black Manta' while fighting Aquaman frequently. Just shh please.

Bro this is so fucked but funny at the same time. I hope Johnny gets his shit back, and I hope this forces the government to look into repercussions for all false accusations.
Call me Crazy but I kinda like Black Manta more than Aquaman because he's cool. Also its a good thing that Black Manta saved Arthur from kissing the succubus.
I really like Black Manta. Its Aquaman's nemesis just like Batman and the Joker, Superman with Lex Luthor, Green Lantern with Sinestro and Wonder Woman with Cheetah.
@@freeshavaacadooo1095 all are entitled to they're opinion, but the reason i love that shot is it gives a beautiful look at this character. nothing more cool than practical effects. some comic movies that take on characters exact appearance from the comics dont always look right. but this one does, and they nailed it.
@Kara Richards Yeah totally, I love doting over sub-par movies and picking the lesser of two evils when both are shitty. Just saying something is less shitty compared to others doesn't mean it's good, it's still shitty.
@Goddamn 47 They aren't masterpieces, but they are leagues better than the dumpster fire called the DCEU. Honestly, DC should just stick to comics which is what they are good at. Media isn't their thing and they should just try to diversify their already niche audience base.
I agree, when James Wan directs action he lets the camera follow the characters with barely any cuts. Not only letting the audience see the action but also be part of it.
KingRyan 1995 wasn’t marvel it was Sony brother, I always felt that it was bullshit as well. Now that marvel has the rights I’m hoping they do him justice.
@@danimationgaming1619 That doesn't really matter since they probably wouldn't use the exact same characters from the original X-Men movies in the MCU. If Wolverine shows up I doubt it'll be the ahufh Jackman one..
The ladies reaction was perfect... Most movies *screaming and running and more screaming* This poor lady just couldn't understand what was happening to her house...
It's more like DC: *1% brightness* Everyone: This is too dark. DC: Okay. DC: *100% brightness* Everyone: Well now you fucked up in the other direction. DC: *Shits itself and dies.*
Aquaman was amazing, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II nailed the role of Black Manta, I liked how his character was more of a anti hero and not a straight up villain, the Black Manta suit looked incredible 👏👏👏
Great action scene. No shaky cam or blurred shots, just lovely wide clear view shots so you actually see what's happening. Although the end battle did let things down a bit by having an overcrowded screen.
I really like how the action is shot. It's very different from all the other action in movies like this where there's tons of shaky cam, close-ups, and quick-cutting. That's somewhat present here, but what's most prominent are the tracking shots that follow the action in wide shots that show everything happening, like it's happening in the world at large so we can see how it plays out and effects their environment. It's ingenious in its simplicity, but perfect in its execution as it trails the guy jumping through walls, seamlessly moving from the inside, out the window, to follow Mera running along the rooftops. It carries a lot more intensity than if it were just a series of a bunch of quick-cut close action shots of jumping and sliding. Gives the world scale and momentum.
Andres Hernandez maybe because he was fighting on land and didn't have any weapon to fight back. In Sea he could move as fast as he wanted but on land he is slow and to make it worse black manta has weapons and can fly.
Arthur had the Trident of Poseidon when he fought Ocean Master so he had no chance, but at least he was at least able to hold his own even when Arthur had the Trident. Black Manta would just get evaporated if he fought Arthur with the Trident, he even lost against him when he had the weapon advantage and the element of surprise. Ocean Master did defeat Aquaman quite easily underwater with equal weapons.
Black Manta will probably have his suit upgraded like have those lock on missiles that shoot from his shoulders and have more technological enhancements.
Aside from the Johnny situation, it's nice to see that i am not the only one that's still bothered with her hair being THAT red. That's like, Firetruck red. It looks so fake to me.
@@Tenshii_Artii Nigga what the fuck is fake red she is an atlantean she is basically a different species and your annoyed about how red her hair is....
I think black Manta was one of the best villains on here, he has actually has a legit motivation for killing Aquaman by the same time you still don’t want him to kill Aquaman. I like how that old lady was perfectly chill seeing Aquaman black manta fight crashing through her house
What Aquaman did in the beginning was arguably unnecessarily cruel but it's not like his father didn't have it coming. It does however make for a great motivation for the villain that's actually based on a legitimate moral failing of the protagonist.

What really amazes and impresses me is that, out of everything and I mean EVERYTHING that could have been and was CGI, Black Manta was 100% real, practical costume... and it’s the one effect that you’d think they’d CGI for sure, but they made it for REAL.
Bless James Wan.
BloodyFlowerFilms ironically, the cgi was all trash
Ignore @@georgepascual1 . The CGI is awesome throughout the entire movie and this is my honest opinion.
@Prego Sauce You mean the number 1 in the worldwide box office? Yeaaaah very evident
Those explosion effects feel like something i'd see after accidentally clicking on a smosh video from 2009.
Lan Dewell number 1 worldwide? They had to re-release and every one nows marvel appeals the masses.
I love how his whole suit is so menacing but his head just looks like a bagel
He’s like an angrier, charred version of Stewie.

“Call Me.. Black MANTA”
This line hits it fr
Black manta is one of the most badass villains in DC. he's pretty much like a combination of Ironman and deathstroke. Yet he is so underrated
He’s very cool and has great potential but his problem is how linear he is. His only goal is to kill Aquaman. He’s never known for anything else. Deathstroke is a notable enemy of Dick Grayson, Batman AND Green Arrow, and aside from them he is known as the worlds deadliest mercenary. I wish DC would expand Manta more so he was more useful. In Injustice 2 a lot of his into dialogue with meta humans reveals that he has a common hatred for all meta humans, not just atlanteans which is a good direction for him honestly, it’d be nice to see him move beyond a grudge over one man and his kingdom to generally being nothing but a human who’s driven and devoted to hunting metas. Big game hunter kind of character.
Good thing Iron Man and Deathstroke not rockin those vintage Power Rangers costumes.
I want a live action Darkseid done properly but we all know the normies who only watch marvel movies (watch not even read comics) will call him a Thanos ripoff
On yo feet maggot right not knowing that darkseid would crush thanos with or without his stones

Black Manta Suit really stole the show. They captured the design perfectly. I was watching the action breakdown by James Wan and this sequence was crafted very meticulously.
I disagree, I feel like the eyes are too big (yes they’re supposed to be big but I didn’t think that big)
@@zestyfruitloops6290 nah big eyes are good
@@zestyfruitloops6290 its not the eyes its the absence of his tubes that are supposed to stick out of his helmet.

He sorta looks like a bug. The eyes are too big.
This has some serious Power Rangers energy to it.
Haven't watched the movie but holy shit this straight up looks like a power ranger episode
RIght? I was waiting for the bad guys to (somehow) become giant.
That's what I was thinking. Couldn't tell if I was watching Saturday morning cartoons from 10 years ago or a superhero movie barely two years old.
I personally really like it
Add to that, the actor who plays the Black Power Ranger in the new movie is one of the lead guards (the one who gets his hand lopped off)
Such an underrated scene, I love how smooth the transition was from Mera to Aquaman at 1:47 and at 3:10 too, I don’t recall seeing that in cbm before, correct me if I’m wrong

@@namekiz3199 yes
one of the reasons why I love Manta so much aside from his badass armory
I don't know why some people have already chosen their sides without even getting to know the scenario.
I like both of them, but still let the court decide.
Just because we are one actor's fan doesn't mean we have to always support them.
Fault can be on both sides or neither side, we should just wait until the final verdicts arrives.
I really like that voice modulator. Very fitting for Black Manta.
Yes I agree
It was always one of my favorite parts about him in the cartoons.
We just going to act like it's not the same exact voice from Sky High?
Marvel would probably give him the voice of a 9 year old girl and have him crack jokes every 8 seconds just to make it funny.

@@freeshavaacadooo1095 Yep. You're one of the many assholes who just like to shit on everything.
@Goddamn 47 They aren't masterpieces, but they are leagues better than the dumpster fire called the DCEU. Honestly, DC should just stick to comics which is what they are good at. Media isn't their thing and they should just try to diversify their already niche audience base.
I love these kind of fight scenes, everything is clear, fast paced but not too overwhelming... the cinematography is just amazing
Totally agree, without the overuse of boring slowmotion.
I agree, when James Wan directs action he lets the camera follow the characters with barely any cuts. Not only letting the audience see the action but also be part of it.

I just love the visual effects on this. Even just the dust particles.
Great action scene. No shaky cam or blurred shots, just lovely wide clear view shots so you actually see what's happening. Although the end battle did let things down a bit by having an overcrowded screen.
Black Manta's costume is so well done. Don't wanna see anyone disrespect it ever again
Arcode42 Indeed, the fact the suit is real and practical helps a lot with that.
Agreed
Real and practical... LOL
It looks gay as fuck!
David lo pan! Lmao right?
I really like how the action is shot. It's very different from all the other action in movies like this where there's tons of shaky cam, close-ups, and quick-cutting. That's somewhat present here, but what's most prominent are the tracking shots that follow the action in wide shots that show everything happening, like it's happening in the world at large so we can see how it plays out and effects their environment. It's ingenious in its simplicity, but perfect in its execution as it trails the guy jumping through walls, seamlessly moving from the inside, out the window, to follow Mera running along the rooftops. It carries a lot more intensity than if it were just a series of a bunch of quick-cut close action shots of jumping and sliding. Gives the world scale and momentum.

2:22 most chill grandma in movie history
Deadpool has one better though
Arthur had a harder time fighting black manta than ocean master.
Andres Hernandez maybe because he was fighting on land and didn't have any weapon to fight back. In Sea he could move as fast as he wanted but on land he is slow and to make it worse black manta has weapons and can fly.
Arthur had the Trident of Poseidon when he fought Ocean Master so he had no chance, but at least he was at least able to hold his own even when Arthur had the Trident.
Black Manta would just get evaporated if he fought Arthur with the Trident, he even lost against him when he had the weapon advantage and the element of surprise.
Ocean Master did defeat Aquaman quite easily underwater with equal weapons.
Black Manta will probably have his suit upgraded like have those lock on missiles that shoot from his shoulders and have more technological enhancements.
I thought Ocean Master was a petty wuss who kills anyone to get his way, while Manta gets down to the point
