Feels Like a TV Show - Don't Waste Your Time

Rating: 2/10 (24 March 2019)

This Aquaman movie has to be one of the most overly cheesy and boring movies I've ever seen.
There are EXCESSIVE jokes and one-liners sprinkled ALL OVER this movie. Some of the scenes look like they were filmed on the set of a Power Rangers TV show, especially the Black Manta scenes. Just awful and uninspiring.
Jason Momoa is a terrible actor who comes off as a surfer dudebro joker in just about every single scene - when we all know the Aquaman from the comics, TV shows, and video games - is portrayed to be more of a serious, charismatic person with leadership qualities - all of which Jason Momoa fails to bring to the table. In addition, if you're a REAL fan of the Aquaman character and have seen the DC animated film 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis', then you may have noticed how significantly different the story is.
Not sure what the writers, producers, and director were thinking, but this is an epic fail in the story-line department because they decided to basically make Aquaman a comedian and change major plot points from other reiterations of Aquaman's backstory.
The only good thing about this movie was simply just some of the CGI action sequences (when Aquaman fights the trench monsters, for example).
The villains (Orm and Black Manta) are extremely weak. Orm spends most of the movie talking smack but when it comes down to the epic final showdown, he doesn't put up much of a fight.
Black Manta is another major disappointment. Again, if you've read the comics or even played the 'Injustice' video games, you know Black Manta is a warrior with some DAMAGING fighting skills and abilities - but again, is under-utilized and comes off as a weak side villain.
These villains should have been much more BRUTAL, but unfortunately, they were weak.
Skip this movie, especially if you're a fan of Aquaman from the comics, video games, or animated content. You'll be disappointed.
