It's good, very good.

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2019)

This movie was a lot of fun. Jason Momoa killed it in the lead role was funny and badass. Him and Aber Heard also had some charming and even cute chemistry. The effects and action are also serviceable exciting but nothing mind-blowing. Atlantis looks beautiful if not a little busy. This is a CGI heavy film, but that's hardly at fault since there is really no other way to faithfully present such an imaginative landscape as it takes place in.
There is also a level of the heart to it that is simple, but effective enough. It's not without its cheesiness though, lots of over the top creatures, and Patrick Wilsons villain, but they all fit. At the end of it, all this film can be viewed simply as a fun, creative action romp with a good deal of exaggerated landscapes and the characters found in those landscapes that seem to know what kind of movie they're in. It's epic and fun and, despite the simple tired story, is one of the DCEUs better outings. It has a color where the others were grainy and charisma where the others were stoic. A solid change of pace.
