Surprising

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2018)

Aquaman is the brunt of every joke. The character has been constantly ridiculed for being really lame. "Oh wow, he can talk to fish." However, "Aquaman" 2018 is amazingly surprisingly thrilling! The story is engaging and the characters are fun and interesting. The visuals were also stimulating, what with all of the different fish, the drumming octopus, and the beautiful city of Atlantis, just to name a few.
The jokes often seemed a little out of place however, which throws off the viewer slightly. Jason Moamoa does action and drama much better than he does comedy.
All in all, this was a surprising movie. The acting was good, the story was original-ish and complimented the characters nicely, and the visuals were beautiful. 7/10 only because I can't bring myself to give Aquaman anything higher.
