  • Haka Performed At Hollywood Premiere [Video]

    I’m going to pretend to care about this story, because I respect the Haka and I think it’s a wonderful tradition.

    At the premiere of Aquaman earlier this week, Kiwi Jason Momoa, his two children and some fellow members of the cast bust out the famous Maori war dance on the red carpet.

    Holding a broken Aquaman trident in one hand, and dropping the suit jacket and necklace, Momoa and co set cameras flashing with their display.

    I think we should just see the Haka, then:

    Cool.

    Now there are some good reviews and some not-so-good reviews for the movie thus far, but we will go with Variety:

    The script is anything but elegant, full of eye-rolling lines that make the dialogue contained in your average comic book speech balloon sound almost Shakespearean by comparison (e.g., “Where I come from, the sea carries our tears away”), although “Aquaman” plainly has a sense of humor about itself.

    The biggest surprise here is that, after the running time of a standard-length film has elapsed, “Aquaman” kicks the movie up a level for the finale. At just the moment this critic’s eyes tend to glaze over in superhero movies — typically, as the villain goes nuclear and a portal to another dimension opens, threatening to destroy the planet — Wan unleashes a massive deep-sea battle on par with “The Lord of the Rings.”

    …The film also saves a series of satisfying surprises for the climactic stretch, thrilling audiences before they leave the theater. For anyone shelling out full price for a movie ticket, this is surely the payoff they’ve been anticipating — all the more spectacular in Imax, for which nearly all those phospholuminescent ocean scenes have been custom formatted. It’s an interesting inversion of the usual superhero movie formula to find a director investing most of his creative energy in the ending, rather than the origin-story stretch upfront — a luxury afforded by the fact Aquaman was introduced in “Justice League” a year earlier.

    The way this movie ends, “that fish boy from the TV” (as he’s derisively called early on) can clearly hold his own against any of his super friends.

    I hope that makes you happy.
