Full of obvious audience viewing 'shiny objects' plot devices, YUK !

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2019)

Aquaman review matters- I wanted to like and enjoy this film. BUT, I agree with others here saying the plot was an overall mess of changing characterization fiascos and cliches', but feel they set 'the bar' too high. Those people are discussing films as if they are 'art' and not 'product'. That discussion has gone on for years with career professional, critics, audience and fans. It will never end. Because every opinion is backed by their own point of view and that will not be compromised. BUT, I agree that 'Aquaman' had a interesting, fun and very strong first act. That was a pleasure to see in any superhero films. It is a prerequisite for good film making. But then the rest of the film was disappointment. It became a 'Thor VS Loki" in underwater kingdom rip off. And the extraneous & obvious audience viewing 'shiny objects' plot devices thrown in with red haired (forgettable) underwater princess, dinosaurs, trident seeking, sea monsters, and confusing multi sea kingdoms politics junk pile rehash ruined this film. Disney, Spielberg, Pirates of Caribbean, LOTR, & Game of Thrones should sue. It is very hard to know how much millions of dollars and time are spent on these to show rehash to the audience.
