Just, wow!

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2018)

I mean, I'm sure critics will be able to pull this apart, but it literally transferred me to another world like no other movie... what they have pulled off here is nothing short of spectacular! At the time of writing, this is probably my favourite solo superhero movie! It was so entertaining, the visuals were like nothing else you've ever seen, the story was coherent (well done DC) the action never stops yet doesn't get exhausting, the pacing is perfect, even the 'back in time' scenes slot in well and never become dull, and they are usually an annoyance of mine! Mera is a strong and awesome female character, without them having to shove feminism down your throat, Kidman, Defoe and Lungdren are superb, as os Wilson, Moama naturally and rightly steals the show ... There's not much else to add really, to pull off an underwater movie like Waan has done here is a true feat, I just hope people go and see it and haven't been put off by previous offerings from DC (even though I have personally liked them all) if you come out of this movie not having truely enjoyed it, you are either biased to a scary level or are dead inside!
If you want to be picky, the 'selfie' scene joke falls flat and it gets a bit busy in the end underwater battle scene, but if any of that bothers you, you've gone in to it with a negative attitude and looking for issues!
