A wonderful depiction of a great character

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2018)

On the verge of a global conflict between the humans living on the surface and the ones from the bottom of the ocean, a not so ordinary man who's been avoiding his roots must change his perspective and try to avoid the unnecessary conflict.
It's a superhero movie which focuses on the Aquaman character which possesses incredible strength and is able to speak to animals underwater. Featuring a complex story with many twists, more or less predictable, it manages to keep interest throughout its entire length. It's full of action, drama and even romance to make everyone happy. Its characters, well described and put into play, are credible and enjoyable, thus being easy for the viewers to empathize with them. The actors who play them are also very well picked, fitting perfectly within the required characteristics. My only complaint regarding the story and the main fact which made me lower its rating was that it follows some stereotypes which are quite hard to ignore. Take for example an event which happens in the beginning of the movie (the one at the end of the scene with the sinking submarine) which afterwards brings a new big threat to the protagonist just because of his "decision". I'm trying to avoid any spoilers here so I assume you've seen this movie in order to understand my complaint.
In terms of visuals, the movie looks astonishing. From the underwater landscapes to the intense action parts, you can clearly see that a lot of work has been put into this department, thus the end result is simply impressive. Its great soundtrack also contributes to the unique atmosphere, being there when needed while providing a big plus with every "appearance". I find it very hard to criticize these two aspects regarding the film.
It's a movie which I personally like very much. This type of a "one man army" simply leaves me breathless only when thinking about it, let alone seeing it in such amazing details. I liked the story, I enjoyed the characters and I definitely liked the actors. I was also impressed by the visuals and the music it had. I small letdown in terms of story made me lower its rating a bit but overall, it's a movie which deserves to be seen and enjoyed by comic fans and non-fans alike.
