World building is cool, story is lame.

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2019)

I liked seeing all the sea creatures and ocean structures and vehicles; this kind of immersive world building reminds me of Avatar. Some of the jokes were also funny. And the actors playing Aquaman and Mera were charismatic.
But, man, was that story lame and cliché. Another, "righteous" king returning to the throne story. Another half-brother/family member competing for that same crown. I've seen this play out in one too many times in superhero franchises like Thor, Black Panther, Inhumans, etc. - some doing it worse than Aquaman, but some also doing it better with a tighter pacing of the plot.
