Sadly, it's only a 'meh' from me.

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2019)

Jason Mamoa shined in his new superhero role, but the 143 min length was ridiculous, as was the wannabe comedic one-liners. The directing was fairly decent, but I was disappointed in the writing. This film couldn't decide if it wants to be silly or serious, a superhero movie or a parody of one. Unfortunately, the bloated, waterlogged film is loaded with crummy CGI, cheesy costumes, and groaner dialogue delivered by actors who are too good to traffic in such nonsense. Watching this movie is like spending two hours and 27 minutes staring at a gigantic aquarium full of digital sea creatures and actors on wires, pretending to swim. Sadly, it's a disappointment from what I expected, and only a generous 7/10 from me.
