Sorry Aquaman is the brilliant superhero story from DC? Did not see that coming

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2018)

I do not commonly give out even 9's and so far have given a half dozen or so movies ever made as a 10 but you know this really was in contention for a 10. I have to be honest I really didnt think an aquaman movie was going to be that great when it was announced, they did such a bad job with both superman and batman and considering how much better I considered those characters to be I didnt see they could do much with aquaman, I was very very wrong.
This is genuinely excellent, it is a superhero movie and of course therefore hits all the same sort of high points of any superhero movie but just does it all brilliantly. They gave aquaman himself a really fun and interesting character, they had an excellent story with really well written characters and a lot of laughs along the way too. The story is a real spectacle on top of that so really what more could you possibly ask for?
If you want a good action adventure then this is a top class example of it.
