Everything Better, Everything Wetter Under the Sea

Ok, so that's a misquote from the Disney Little Mermaid but I had serious concerns over this film prior to sitting down with my Coke Zero and Mandatory Bucket of salted Popcorn. Were my concerns unfounded well almost I'll get the worse moment out of the way right at the start: an octopus's playing the drums did make me look around for Sebastien. Please to say otherwise I found the world they created sufficiently immersive to retain my attention.
Does anyone watch comic book films for a plot? I don't think so they tend to be predictable and this is no different when Aquamans Dad sat farewell to his Mer-Queen on the pier close to his home we instantly know the ending! However, I can't be bitter about this as the films blends action and humour seamlessly for the majority of its run providing you leave the higher functions of your brain disconnected ( Physics etc of jumping out of a plane etc) and its cinematic style is brighter then many of DC attempts at creating a comic book universe to rival marvel.
If you out looking for something light and fluffy to pass a couple if hours and your in the mood for some under water comic book shenanigans then you can't go far wrong.
