It's not a waste of popcorn to be brought to this movie

Rating: 4/10 (1 May 2019)

Aquaman (2018) is the latest movie directed by the director of Saw (2004), Insidious (2010), The Conjuring (2013),.., James Wan. He's known as one of the most talented modern movie directors. I haven't seen his horror movies but I saw a few clips and they were scary. And now, he took a challenge on a superhero movie: Aquaman (2018).
Starring Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry/Aquaman, Amber Heard as Princess Mera, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master/Orm, Willem Dafoe as Vulko. I'm okay with how they acted, there's nothing bad but the problem is that the screenplay was really childish, making the acting a bit childish. In that case, Jason just made Aquaman not really one true king but more like one funny king.
The plot is about a man arthur curry born by a father from the land and a mother from the sea. When his mother went away, he heard that he had a brother, who tried to conquer his mother's land Atlantis and he had to stop his brother to be king. A bit childish right? I saw many superhero plots are like this and this is quite normal and sometimes too easy. I really like the jokes they had done to the movie. I laughed at many scenes, especially when Arthur realized that peeing on the...(I don't know how to call it) a thing is much better then Mera taking his sweat from his forehead into...that thing. It made me giggled.
"Showoff! You could have just peed on it!"
--Aquaman--
The action scenes were quite epic as Atlantis looked better than a paradise with underwater technology and high-tech ships and other transports. People wore robotic armors and creative weapons. The battles are quite unforgettable with stunts here and there and also explosions and disasters.The CGI was mind-blowing and jaw-dropping. It was surpring that the budget was just $200 million but the box office had crushed a lot: $1,147 billion. But for the CGI, Aquaman (2018) wouldn't have had its box office so high like this. It was totally worth a good DCEU movie. I also liked the costumes: the robotic armor with suitable colours and they even put some on animals like sharks or a few more unreal creatures.
I like the score. It made us feel like we're in a high-tech paradise. Rupert Gregson-Williams did a good job with the original score. It was really good and it sounded like Tron. I had no idea how he made those sounds (as long as it's not orchestra like John Williams). I wasn't just relaxed but I also felt really impressed because it's really satisfying like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle or Black Panther.
I like Aquaman a lot, though it was really childish at the screenplay. It is one of the best, most mind-blowing, jaw-dropping and unforgettable movies in the DC extended universe. I recommend people like wars underwater should watch this movie.
Points: 7.4/10
