Expected Better

Rating: 4/10 (26 December 2018)

So today was my husbands birthday. His one request was to see this film. I agreed (for the eye candy lol) even when I haven't watched any recent DC films.
I am a huge marvel fan, and to me this just seemed like a low budget, childs version of Marvel.
The storyline was predictable, the graphics were vibrant and eye catching but just not believable - especially trying to make them look younger.
I felt like there was just an action scene after an action scene with new people/villains to fight but no real character development and not enough of a back story to the main character.
And I couldn't help but compare a few things to the marvel films:
1. The mother was never dead. And came back to the husband (who never moved on) in tip top condition. (Like AntMan)
2. The villains black/red suit was like a knock off version of AntMan. And his name Black Manta is like they couldn't think of anything besides Black Panther and just changed it to suit the ocean.
3. Aquaman is DC's version of Thor - very manly and muscular but funny and sarcastic with his deep voice and long hair.
And for some reason when Arthur was going to collect the trident, I was expecting that singing snail in Moana to pop out haha.
