HOW DARE THEY TRIDENT STINGRAY!!

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2019)

Overall not sure about this film will have to rewatch but here are my first impressions. Started well apart from Atlanna Tridenting the classic puppet series Stingray! They're the good guys Atlanna!. Enjoyed meeting big boy Aquaman whilst taking on Manta,was a pretty cool opening action sequence. After that it got a little too much with excessive CGI and really too much going on for a single viewing. Dafoe was ok but not enough mentoring for my taste. Plot was overall ok except for the Duel with Orm. Aquaman was not getting his ass kicked to hard so seemed a bit cowardly to run away with Mera. Tended towards the cheesy in closing sequences but I will watch again to see what subtleties I may have missed in the crowded action sequencies. Momoa was very good in the part (liked him since Stargate Atlantis and obviously as badass Khal Drogo in the butchered GOT) Others fitted in well even an obviously aging Kidman (check out the facial wrinkles that werent covered well). I liked it on the whole and I am sure it will improve with each additional viewing. Hope you liked it too.
