I enjoyed it, even if it's really nothing special.

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2019)

I enjoyed seeing James Wan's latest, "Aquaman," the 2018 live-action film adaptation of the famed DC Comics character. "Aquaman" tells a story that's actually quite similar to "The Legend of King Arthur," and revolves around half-human/half-Atlantean Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) becoming Aquaman in order to prevent war between the underwater kingdom of Atlantis and the human world. "Aquaman" is much different from James Wan's previous films - of course, "Saw." The film (especially in its underwater sequences) looks fantastic and is beautiful to look at, but that's really all I got out of it. (I'm not a fan of Aquaman and perhaps if I was, I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more.) It's really no different from many other big-budget superhero films of late, especially those produced by rival Marvel. But I went with my father (who really wanted to see it) and he paid for our tickets - since I paid when we went to go see "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" (2018) a few days ago.
