This was actually fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2019)

When I heard they were making an Aquaman movie, I rolled my eyes. After seeing the abomination that was Justice League and Batman vs. Superman, I had low expectations. I was so wrong. Once I saw the preview I had a little hope, but it looked like a Black Panther ripoff. I went in ready to be disappointed and came out blown away. James Wan did excellent on this film. I never thought I would say I liked an Aquaman film but I did! The acting was great and there were funny moments. The fight scenes were so much more different than I had prevuiously seen in any movie. The visuals were perfect and I was in love. Black Manta proved to be an awesome villain despite looking very funny. Orm or Oceanmaster turned out to be an awesome villain as well. The ending scene is what got me. When Arthur and Orm jumped up on the ship and the slow-mo was used. I actually muttered, "whoa." There were surpringly a couple scenes like that. The fight in Italy, when Mera and Arthur dived into the reaf and it gave us the beautiful underwater shot of them getting swarmed by those creatures, I was in awe. Beautiful and worthy of $10.
