Enjoyable hokum

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2018)

A super hero from Atlantis who can talk to fish was never going to be an easy film to make a cohesive plot with so clearly the makers of Aquaman have decided the best way to cover this is to make it big and spectacular. They succeed with this. You are never bored whilst watching this film and some of the underwater imagery is beautiful to look at. Having seen Justice League last year the small underwater segment within that film gave some considerable concern on how this film would look. What was a dogs dinner twelve months ago is startling and impressive in this film.
The film itself is best viewed with your brain in neutral as several aspects don't stand up to close scrutiny and I am sure the goofs part of IMDB will get plenty of inclusions when you start to overthink the film. All I'll say is that the whole premise is ridiculous so just go with the flow. You'll enjoy it so much more if you do
