There's something fishy about these reviews

Rating: 4/10 (18 December 2018)

Not sure if it's bots or people who are DCU fanboys/girls with massively rose-tinted glasses but no-way is this movie a 9 or a 10.
Comparisons with Avatar are a joke; both films used a lot of CGI but that's where the similarities begin and end.
There was some good comedic and charming moments here but they were few and far between. Overall the script and the storyline were so cliched that it was cringeworthy at times. Every plot twist was predictable and obvious from the outset which made the film boring.
The lack of character development meant I wasn't invested and didn't care how things turned out - I was just waiting for it to end for the last 45 minutes of the movie. The main villains - Black Manta and Orm were one-dimensional cliches and lacked any depth or personality.
The CGI was overused and at times the fight scenes got a bit silly - a few fish swimming through and destroying metal craft . . . erm, sure, that's totally believable. Ditto a man gets trapped under rubble (which would have crushed his legs) but when it's moved he gets up and walks away.
Jason Momoa was the best thing about this film - he played his role well, but didn't have much to work with, script/plot wise.
