Another mediocre superhero movie

Rating: 6/10 (16 February 2019)

People who complain about the cheesy dialogue and missing story, often say things like "this is for children" or "this is like a cartoon". The thing is children shows like Peppa Pig (I watch it with my 3 years old nephew) or Ladybug (I watch it with my 6 years old niece) are hundred million times more mature and more suspenseful than the average superhero movie. Not to mention that the many animation movies out there have some of the best storytelling you can find nowadays. So why Hollywood? Why does it have to be so ... dumb? I don't get it. I'm a writer myself. How hard can it be to write some good dialogues? I was never a DC fan, but I always thought the DC Universe would be more mature and darker. Maybe the whole atmosphere is "darker" but sure the stories aren't more mature.
So talking about Aquaman: I like the character and the actor. The movie was not terrible, but it was like 99% CGI (even the hair in the water was animated), some superhero things happened, there were a lot of fights going on and yeah ... he became the king of Atlantis. Honestly, I don't even know why I'm writing this review. I just wonder why Hollywood cannot make a blockbuster movie with a good and intriguing story. Do good stories don't sell anymore? It's just sad.
