Brainless fun!

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2018)

I don't often write reviews, but felt like doing one for this.
Take this movie with a pinch of salt. If you want a brainless popcorn flick with lots of action, then this is worth a watch. It's visually stunning and the actors try to do their best of a poor script.
However, there are many negatives. As usual, DC try to do too much and seem to be in a rush to get as much covered as possible. Aquaman learning his powers should be done in the 1st act, not the 2nd. By this point, it was just assumed he'd learned over time, so no point having his training so late in the movie.
The overall tone was all over the place. One minute, it's serious like MOS and BVS, the next it's slap stick like Looney Tunes.
Mera was beautifully played by Amber Heard, but there was too much change in the character. She starts off like the Little Mermaid, then progresses to Black Widowesque, then some sort of Jean Grey type character.
The movie felt like it tried to take the best bits of the 3 Thor movies (not necessarily a bad thing but would have been nicer to see Aquaman as something different).
Overall, not a bad movie but could have been so much better
