Aquaman is a Little Waterlogged

Rating: 2/10 (30 December 2018)

Aquaman gives us what DC always has; a corny, predictable story with goofy out of place characters, spewing cheesy one liners as everyone prays to the green screen Gods that the visual effects will mask the absurd dialog and shallow acting. The Gods are somewhat merciful and give us a few eloquent visuals that make us forget, if even for a moment, that this film is just an Exxon Valdez away from a full fledged dumpster fire. Yes, it's a movie. It's supposed to be entertaining and entertaining it is. There are numerous fighting sequences (can you say overkill?) And a few good laughs at the expense of the character's (or actor's) dignity, but there is so much more at stake here. DC is drowning beneath the riptide of Marvel"s success and if they want to break the surface and breathe again, DC has got to stop spending money on sinking ships.
