A visual spectacle of cliche

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2018)

What do you get if you mash up every superhero cliche together and make it look good? Aquaman. The only depth the film had was that it had scenes deep in the ocean. Every character is very superficial and you can tell this was not due to bad actors, but due to the whole script itself. It lacked any kind of originality, which is great for anyone just looking to watch a classic superhero film. Its lack of depth is actually pretty surprising when you remember that it has a run time of 2 and half hours. That would be plenty to write a complex story.
But if it didn't have any depth then what did it have? Visuals. Lots of action, Jason Momoa and Amber Heard. Its like the same genre as Transformers really. You just basically go to watch a huge pile of cash. All focus is on being entertained by something happening and looking good, and this it actually does pretty well. Not once was I bored when watching the film and especially the scenes when they are sailing, the ocean looks really good and Amber Heard's hair is super red and shiny.
So if you want to see this then at least you are gonna know exactly what you're gonna get and Amber Heard is really hot.
