100% honest without any expectations going in

Rating: 5/10 (15 December 2018)

I went into this movie with a open mind and I was disappointed. The first opening scene was promising and well directed but the rest of the movie fell flat with cringe moments, noticeably bad CGI, terrible jokes, silly jump scares and pacing issues. James wann the director is very good don't get me wrong but he was either not 100% sure on what he was doing here or the studio was pulling strings most of the time. The movie has all the typical cliches which usually I let pass but these ones you could see coming from a mile away and just make you sigh.
The actors aren't bad but the script they are given here is awful, some of the lines are so bad they look improvised at the last second. The scene in the desert is a great example of this, every line sounds like it was written by a 10 year old with a bad sense of humour.
The good points here are that the villains have motivations which are clear but mostly cliche, the actions scenes are quite badass especially the submarine scene but that's where it ends.
Overall I think this movie should have been short and sweet making us want more, instead I never want to see another solo aquaman movie. The post credit scene is pointless and sparks no emotion or excitement for any future instalments.
