King Arthur

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2018)

There is no doubt that the British legend of King Arthur played a large role ( the character was even named Arthur and there was a pivotal "Sword In The Stone" scene, so if you like such stories Aquaman will be very appealing. What I really liked was 1: Spoilers ahead: Vulko did not die. In so many movies the mentor of the hero or heroine ( in the case of Wonder Woman) ends up well "Sleeping With The Fish." 2: The relationship between Mera and Arthur. It is serious ( Mera saving him), playful and finally romantic. In addition, both characters grow throughout the movie ( always welcome). 4: The special effects really worked. Far too often they are predictable ( like in Avatar where they created scenes that were supposed to be ground breaking but were rehashes of westerns like the Indian campfire and the animals which were obviously stuff like panthers). 5: Humor. Too many DC Movies lacked humor ( Suicide Squad excluded), here you get some without insulting the audience. Spoilers ahead: The scene with the bikers in the bar was exceptionally well done and it's outcome was not what I expected. Basically Aquaman was my favorite Non-Batman DC movie. 10/10 stars.
