Dum-de-dum-dum

Dumb!
Derivative, and not in a good way. I lost track of all the ripoffs of other movies. I don't mind a nod here and there, but this was ridiculous. I notice other reviewers were impressed with the underwater scenes, which I would describe as Avatar meets Bladerunner, mostly. I personally enjoyed the above-the-water shots much more, and looked forward to them. Not a good sign for an underwater hero movie.
Movies ripped off : Alien(s), Attack of the Clones, Harry Potter, Avatar, The Matrix, Bladerunner, The Perfect Storm. Others, I can't recall.
Things I learned:
Aquaman is a former pro wrestler. Totally unbelievable until he gets his suit later. The original King would of been much better.
Underwater princesses have augmentation. Distracting, even for the star. That doesn't make up for horrible dialogue.
When I forget the main villan is even in the movie, something is wrong.
Dialogue, that is dumb on a level that would make Roadhouse look like Shakespeare.
A couple of the battle scenes were ok, but the most entertaining parts of the rest of the movie were spotting the differences in William Dafoes man-buns.
Aggressively dumb.
