Not as good as the hype suggests

Rating: 6/10 (30 December 2018)

Well, like every one I was expecting a great addition to the DC stable. Sadly it doesn't live up to the hype.
While this is a good popcorn superhero movie and Jason Momoa is excellent as Aquaman, I wondered what Nicole Kidman was thinking when she signed on (other than a nice pay cheque). The Black Manta subplot was completely wasted - would have been better to use in the sequel.
The visual effects, while spectacular in places, looked a bit "more of the same" (think The Abyss, Thor) - not as original as I would have expected.
Overall, it was good but not great. Certainly better than other entries in the DC universe so far......
