Good movie good directing great visuals

Rating: 6/10 (17 August 2019)

This was one of the better ones but that's not saying much considering some of the messes lately in this genre. First of all I don't care about MCU vs DC and I don't think I'm alone in that regard. What most people want is a good captivating entertaining movie period.
This one had great elements - directing was good, visuals pretty well done considering, and I did find the main lead actor playing Aquaman entertaining. But and this is a very very big but, aside from him, the worst acting I've seen in a long time. Amber Heard was awful. I mean I couldn't even stay in the plot when I saw her on screen - I just kept thinking about her being Elon Musk's ex. That's pretty far off from the movie's plot. Is she supposed to be a beauty? Because aside from a little cleavage there's just nothing going for her in my opinion. Nicole Kidman a little better but not great and the 2 main evil opponents don't even get me started either. Just bad.
