One word sums it up: Wack.

Rating: 4/10 (2 January 2019)

To be honest, I have never read the comics for Aquaman, but honestly this is what us French Canadians call a "croûte", which pretty much means mediocre. After seeing so many super hero movies (btw I really don't care if it's DC or Marvel, I don't know what the fanboyism is about, I just want a good movie) and actually movies in general, I had some (pretty low though) expectations. But this, this was horrible. The plot was extremely flawed (I won't spoil it but if you watch it you might know what I mean from the very beginning of the movie), and some elements just not making any form of sense with previous events. Also, the acting was at its worse (seriously, I've seen better acting from secondary school students doing a forced movie project by an english teacher). Everything the characters said was so emotionless and directly recited that it was cheesy and outright seemed unprofessional (which stunned me coming from such a large studio with some usually very good actors). The most "dramatic" moments were so badly interpreted that they were funny. Even if you do like the story assuming you have read the comics you probably will be shocked by the low quality of the acting and the CGI. Oh boy the CGI. When I watched it, I had the constant feeling that I was watching some cheesy Mr. Clean commercial from the mid-2000's. The movie revolves around CGI (pretty much half the movie happens underwater so obviously) and does a very poor job at it. However, even if pretty much 90% if the movie was terrible, the fight choreographies are decent, and if you like very classic movies or are with a kid, you might end up enjoying it. I was with my father who was a huge fan of the comics when I watched the movie, and even though Aquaman was one of his favorite super heroes, he thought the same as me. To sum it up, I absolutely do not recommend going to the theater to watch it, but I suggest to consider watching it when it's going to be available on streaming platforms if you want to laugh at the movie a bit or to watch some underwater fights.
