Refreshing Nuance

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2018)

I've been a fan of Jason Momoa since his days as Ronon Dex on Stargate Atlantis. He has come a long way from those days.
After the DC disappointment that was Batman vs Superman this was refreshing! Momoa has made Aquaman his own. I enjoyed all the chemistry between the actors. Momoa especially used his signature humor to add that extra charm to Arthur Curry. I was blown away by performance of Patrick Wilson as Orm Marius. Patrick I've always found to have a great range as a performer.
The movie from beginning to end had great flow. I walked in with no expectations I found the movie to have excellent direction from James Wan right down to the music by Rupert Gregson- Williams. Your in for a real treat with this movie.
As far as flaws go it had some slow points that are to be expected. However the character building was quite excellent. I even really enjoyed a lot of the supporting characters as well. The film had a nuance a lot of super hero movies seem to lack.
If DC keeps to this kind of quality I look forward to many more great films. Hopefully they can translate this into a new Batman and Superman as far as I'm concerned those movies were garbage. As fans we deserve better films, like Aquaman!
