Alright

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2018)

After being recommended Aquaman, I ended up giving it a shot, even though I really wasn't too excited for it.
It was OK, and there were some underwater scenes which were simply beautiful, so CGI was pretty awesome where sea creatures etc were concerned.
However, I just wasn't feeling the whole sea queen lighthouse keeper romance, it just seemed rather forced. For some reason Nicole Kidman just looked a bit ridiculous, maybe it was the weird looking hair or the cheap-looking outfit.
The dialogue overall wasn't great, even though there were a few good jokes some "serious" scenes actually made me laugh. Once again, sometimes it felt pretty forced.
Also didn't see the need to have them kiss at the end, I thought we were over that cliche, it's 2018!
However, Jason Momoa was definitely a good choice for the role, and so was Amber Heard. They did great jobs despite it all. Willem Dafoe was pretty random but awesome as one would expect.
Honestly, the fact that I've never really read any Aquaman comics or been interested in the character/Justice League in general probably didn't help. I'm more of a Marvel person and I enjoy the little easter eggs in the movies, whereas here I didn't connect with the characters or the story as much.
To sum up, if you're looking to entertain yourself for 2 hours I guess go for it!
