As a Pisces, I Approve Of This Movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2018)

I would actually rate this movie 8.5 out of 10 and not 9, because it's definitely better than an 8, but it isn't really a 9 due to reasons that I will get into; however I will be generous and round it up rather than down.
The first two-thirds of this movie are pretty much exceptional, barring minor pacing and plot issues. The creativity is unreal, and I have to admire James Wan and the entire cast for doing such a great job and giving Aquaman such a distinctive and fresh thematic and audiovisual style that I found immensely enjoyable, and for being unafraid to actually try and tell a story.
Without spoilers, these minor plot points are eventually explained, but suffice it to say that it's better to give your audience all of the necessary information BEFORE your action sequence starts rather than after it, or you risk the audience asking 'why is this happening' rather than engaging in the action.
Still, it didn't really detract from the movie too much, and all cases where this happen are eventually explained properly, if you can be patient and just roll with it for a bit.
However, from a logical standpoint, the movie kind of fails in the third act. Too many parts were a bit of a stretch for me or just flat out CGI nonsense (lighting flares underwater?), and is pretty much the only reason I'm not rating this 10/10.
Yes it's a superhero movie, I understand that, but it doesn't mean we need to throw normal physics out of the window entirely.
Overall, a very fun and engaging movie with an actual plot and surprising emotional depth (pun intended), but just roll with it when it gets too silly towards the end.
