Cheese fest

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2019)

Each comic book movie that is made is worse than the last. Aquaman is no exception. I couldn't wait for this film to end. Purple lights underwater do not make for "amazing visuals" and amazing visuals do not make up for characters no one cares about.
From some of the worst acting in a movie with this kind of budget, cheesiest dialogue and even cheesier soundtrack, to unfunny one-liners and horrible CGI and action sequences - this is a stink fest.
The film's lead is Jason Mamoa - I'm thinking that's awesome - a hero with an edge. Nope, he's as cheesy as Arnold in Kindergarten Cop. BUT in order for us to think he has an edge- he says "bad ass" like 50 times, so I guess that's all it takes.
Cliche after cliche make this film completely and utterly cringeworthy. Let's look at the never ending list:
Hero doesn't want to be hero but constantly does hero things even tho they don't want to be a hero
Superhero as a child is bullied only to use his powers to thwart said bullies.
News panel of guests argue over a super hero's existence
Boy without mother asks why said mother doesn't love him. (the only
conclusion drawn by a movie character missing a parent)
Man pulls woman to safety - they take notice of body contact and act awkwardly.
Woman accidentally falls, man catches her, holds her (cuz that's what they do) as they look longingly into each other's eyes before being interrupted.
People actually yell "aaahhhh" when falling.
People actually yell "ooh eee aw" when landing from a fall
Villian to hero: "I've been waiting for this day to come"
Cliche rooftop chase scene
Hero saves random child from falling object. Only thing missing there was a mother yelling "my baby! my baby!"
I could go on and on...but Marvel and DC have stolen too much of my time already. Never will I watch a comic book movie again - and hopefully this production line way of making movies will also stop. Let's, as an audience start demanding more from our entertainment. Seriously.
