A children fairytale with Hollywood effects

Rating: 6/10 (14 March 2019)

Clearly WB hasn't done a great job planing DCEU's movies and Marvel is better on the big picture, laying out the whole plan for the grand world view. I think maybe this is why lots of people think Aquaman is the best DCEU moive. Personally, I don't think Aquaman is a great movie, definitely far from the best, except the VFX.
If you compare Aquaman with BVS or Watchmen, you'll find that this story is like a children's fairytale. It has no reflection on our reality. It just tells a hero becomes the hero, defeats the villain and finds the love one. It has no "soul".
Of course the VFX is epic. But we already have an Avatar. What we need now is a great story, not over-productions.
