One of the better DC flicks but still a 6.

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2018)

DC movies always seem to come up short (though their tv series are absolutely the worst). Having said that this one was one of their better showings.
Not sure how much they paid Nicole Kidman to stoop down to being in this film but they gave her horrible, stunted lines. She honestly seemed very out of place and I don't blame her for that.
There was no reason for it to be such a long movie. Seemed to want to have big CGI scenes just for the sake of having them. Also they seemed to be very confused as to how indestructible aquaman should be. In one scene he eats a RPG to the chest (who the hell brings an RPG on a submarine?) and it barely stuns him and he takes no physical damage. He takes a plasma blast (that earlier vapourized a huge boulder) and gets back up with some superficial burns. He jumps out of a plane from hundreds of feet in the air and just rolls his landing. Yet he is stabbed by a plain old dagger (and not just the Atlantian blades).
Anyway, it was a fun movie and for all it's flaws I enjoyed it. I can't put my finger on why marvel movies are always so much better but I think a part of it is that they don't take themselves too seriously (or are able to give that impression). That might be why this was one of the better DC films, in that they seemed to just have fun for the most part (but not entirely).
