The Bro-seidon Adventure

Rating: 6/10 (12 September 2019)

Aquaman is the 5th outing for the DCEU and we'll... It sure is pretty.
That's really all there is to Aquaman. All style, no substance. Visually, it's what I imagine a drug trip to look like. So many bright, swirling colors, vivid and vibrant.
The biggest problem this movie has isn't actually its problem. It's the DCEU that it's forced to be a part of. The kaleidoscope of colors in Aquaman are stunning, but are a complete departure from the rest of the universe it's set in. Jason Mamoa is a fun guy to watch and has real potential as an action star but, Bro-seidon of Justice League still lingers in memory.
Were this a stand alone film, it might rank higher for me. Sadly, that isn't the case and the crushing disappointment that is the greater DCEU weighs heavily on Atlantean shoulders.
