Why so serious-ly long?

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2018)

I enjoyed no part of this movie. None of it. I didn't expect to love it, because DC has a lot to learn about making superhero movies. But I didn't expect it to be so bad. There were a lot of other movies thrown in and the movie was all over the place as a result.
I cannot understand all of the positive reviews here. People awarding 10 stars should not be allowed to watch proper movies!
There are Stormtroopers (who other reviewers have actually referred to as Stormtroopers!), there are dinosaurs, there are Sword in the Stone and Pinocchio references. Not references actually like actually just thrown at the audience.
Aquaman is unlikeable for me. A waster who just likes to drink ("Quickly... I'm missing happy hour ho ho"). The romance between him and Amber Heard is so obvious from the beginning. And talking of obvious - the mention of Nicole Kidman being dead - I think maybe 85 or 100 times?! Shocker - she's not dead after all! And the whole movie happened because she was dead!! Absurd.
Everything was forced and everything fell flat. The scene where Arthur pulls the sword from the king or something was insane - in the bad way. A huge boring creature stops him until Aquaman tells him to deal with it or some such thing and then says "well, no-one has pulled the trident from the king's hand yet... so when you fail, I'm super hungry." Or something like that. I was struggling to stay awake honestly. The movie runs at around 2-3 days in length. Can't be sure. So many bad jokes thrown in.
Someone should make future DC writers/directors sit down and watch 10,000 hours of Marvel movies before starting the next flop.
Or actually just watch one Marvel film. Clearly they haven't thus far. Only looked at images to steal ideas.
