Nice to look at

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2019)

I've always had a soft spot for Aquaman and this movie was pretty much what I expected it to be, stunning visuals with a mediocre script.
A lot of the dialogue between Arthur and Mera was so disconnected which made it hard to believe there was any sort of genuine connection between them. As cheesy as the rest of it was, it strangely worked and felt consistent.
The soundtrack was decent except for the random Pittbull track.. yes that's right... Pitbull, which set up the following scene to be more jovial than it should have been.
Black Manta was a great concept but Yahya's performance left me wanting more dialogue and less soap opera dramatization.
Overall the film was fun, full of stunning battle scenes and seeing Jason Momoa in the old school Aquaman getup was well worth every second.
