Why are the DC movies so bad?

Rating: 4/10 (21 December 2018)

Kids will probably enjoy this movie, and if you have the hots for Jason Momoa, you'll probably love it, but objectively it's just not good.
Jason Momoa is certainly easy on the eyes but he is just not a good enough actor to headline a "blockbuster" film. Aquaman tries to remedy this by padding his performance with other well-known actors, but it's just not enough to fix this movie.
The plot of the movie itself isn't terrible, but the script is filled with weak dialogue and most of the characters can't seem to use contractions, so that makes the dialogue seem very wooden and awkward.
There are a few nods to the Aquaman from the comics and the old cartoons that fans will enjoy, but there are other parts of the movie (like a drum-playing giant octopus) that will make viewers scratch their heads.
And of course DC still looks amateurish and cartoony when it comes to comparing their CGI to Marvel movies, not only in action sequences, but also when it comes to de-aging actors.
Bottom line, take the kids to see it, but keep your expectations low.
