This is how you do it

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2019)

I wasn't very impressed with Justice League and the first introduction of Aquaman. Quite frankly, the character Aquaman didn't do much for me to begin with. Subsequently, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like this movie. Man, I was wrong, very wrong. This movie is one hell of a ride, from start to finish.
Let's start with the CGI, because it is present in abundant amounts. It is very well done, but sometimes nears the point of being too much, especially towards the end. For me personally it never did cross that border, though, because of the simple reason that it has its place; it makes sense.
The musical score, ranging from orchestral to 80's synth is a weird mix of awesomeness. Is this a case of catching a ride on the bandwagon of what seems to work for other movies/shows? Maybe, but it works, and I'm digging it. It never goes overboard.
The movie doesn't take itself too serious, but still manages to stay serious enough for you too care about what happens. There's no unfunny joke every two minutes. There are some, though, which didn't bother me.
Usually, this type of movie features a one-dimensional plain evil villain with a simple agenda to rule the world. Well, this movie is actually no different. However, it also features a bunch of "villains", which aren't quite that. It's not near as black and white as you may expect.
Story-wise, it's simple and predictable, but the story is there. And it works. It's a superhero action movie, folks, not Hamlet. Enjoy the ride.
All in all, great stuff. Must see for superhero movie fans. Definitely one of the better, if not the best, DC superhero movie of recent years.
9,5/10. Go see it.
