Incredibly lackluster film

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2018)

I seriously don't understand how this film is getting such good reviews, it's one of the worst films I have ever watched, at the same level of fantastic four. Fair enough people are entitled to their own opinions, I respect that.
Good parts:
That fight scene in sicily was decent
...struggling to find anything else that was good
Some of the set pieces were good I guess.
Black Manta was okay?
Bad parts:
The acting was awful, Jason Mamoa couldn't show any emotion, when there was meant to be a sense of urgency or peril, he slaughtered that sense with his overall non-chalance throughout the film. Ocean Master (awful name for a villain btw) has a laughable response when seeing his mother for the first time in decades, more comically confused then surprised or shocked.
The so-called twist with the mother returning was so predictable.
The CGI for the majority of the film is appalling, remember the complaints about the inconsistency in the CGI in Justice League? Those complaints remain with Aquaman.
Black Manta was wasted.
The fight scenes, this annoying and tedious spinning shot with all the fight scenes. The first fight scene is okay, the spin shot seems cool but is ruined by awful and simple choreography and those fights could've ended within a second if the enemies just shot. Also what kind of a hiding place is a corner? The next fight scenes have the same spinning shots and they were so tedious and frustrating.
The pacing of the film was horrendous, along with character development. It felt rushed at the start, and felt too obliged to introduce all of the characters straight away, you ended up forgetting half of them. Near the start where Black Manta's dad, I think, dies is terribly done, you have no sympathy due to a lack of development and appropriate pacing. Ocean Master's character development is awful and he is just terrible throughout the film, I mean Patrick Wilson was amazing in Fargo season 2 as Lou Solverson, but what happened here? Other character developments are lacking such as Vulko and Mera.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT AFRICA COVER. This scene made me laugh cos of how bad it was. It cuts to them walking and this awful africa cover starts playing really abruptly, and just ends like 5 seconds later, it doesn't fade in or fade out. I'm still trying to figure out if this film is supposed to be taken seriously.
The after credits scene wasn't impressive, I know marvel initially copied dc with their origins, but this film felt like it was tring to hard to be like guardians of the galaxy/thor ragnarok (which are amazing films). The "who is aquaman" is dumb, given that throughout the whole film, aquaman is making hinself well known and is being very public about his superhero identity, this guy is meant ti be a professional journalist, how does he not know who aquaman is?
It dragged, I asked my friend how long was left and was saddened from hearing it still had 2 hours left, some long films don't feel long, or at least are enjoyable throughout their length such as Fargo, Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Infinity War and The Matrix, but this film felt like forever.
Overall, if you're looking for a film to laugh at for 2+ hours, this is a good one, not because it's intentionally funny but because of how bad the film is as a whole, and if you're a film student, most likely you will despise this film. One of the first movies that made me almost go to sleep, almost as I wanted to give it a fair chance and didn't want to miss anything that may be redeeming, however I wish I had fallen asleep.
