Everyone calm down. Its not that great.

Rating: 6/10 (11 December 2018)

Saying that this movie is the best DC movie is rediculous since The Justice League, and Batman vs Sup are terrible. And clearly theyre not counting Nolan's movies, which put this one to shame as well. That being said, Aquaman has Ang Lee, a compliment director, as well as a few good actors(just a few), and plenty of action to keep the viewers from dozing off.
This movie's biggest flaw is its completely unoriginal. Its in-your-face-obvious that the writers all got together and took their ideas from Thor, Black Panther, Iron Man(specifically pt 2), Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Tron: Legacy. Its all on the screen and so many times I found myself saying, "That's right out of..."
The visuals are definitely good, and the action was fun...sometimes. I love action, but these felt forced.
This movie's second biggest flaw are the villains. And DC clearly tried really, really hard to make these villains good. Sorry, you failed. Again. The main villain is the hero's half brother who wants the thrown. (Sound familiar?). And though he's played by Patrick Wilson, and well, his story is just too cliche'd. In other words, we've seen it before. The second villain, was downright terrible! With an awful story line, an awful costume(which is supposed to be an upgrade), and such a stupid name. "You can call me, Black Manta!". WHAT??! Everyone in the room groan at that line. At least Black Panther looked like a black panther, and was badass! This guy looks like a cross between a black-metallic Iron Man(again, ripoff) and Robbie the Robot. Its a waste of time, and he gives that line just moments before he dies.
The fights between Aquaman and the main villain...who's name I never caught, were fun, but again, I've seen it before. The story was very predictable, there was no suspense, and the near-ending's twist was not a surprise at all.
Oh and the cherry on the sunday of lame is the NEVER ENDING preaching of how mankind is killing the oceans, and the environment. Leave politics at home, dammit.
Overall, its definitely much better than the last few DC movies we've seen. But its still a DC film, and that says a lot about the films quality. The money is definitely spent on screen, and it looks great, but I don't see what all the hype is about, looking at some of these reviews.
This movie is not bad, but its nothing compared to Avengers: End Games's trailer. Just the trailer of that is better than this!
