Super disappointed with this one. I mean, Aquaman was already one of the LEAST popular super hero characters - why would you butcher it like this?
This is probably the worst Super Hero movie I've seen in a while. I wanted to like it, I love basically all of the Marvel and DC movies, but this one just left me wanting soo much more. The character development is done halfheartedly, and they just tried to push WAY too much history into a single film. Perhaps because of this, it's hard to identify with any of the characters:
"Hey, I'm the drunk, ripped and hard-core rabble-rousing son of a queen from 'World-A', who is super arrogant for two hours but somehow acts humble in the last 10 min of the movie"...
"Hey, I'm the super-hot daughter of royalty from 'World-B' who doesn't like her arranged marriage and can basically kick everybody's butt without trying, but I'll be vulnerable just for you - perfect stranger"...
"I've got an idea, let's do stuff together and change 'World-A' and 'World-B'!! "

Sorry for the excessively detailed plot synopsis, but that's all folks.

If you want to take a few hits and enjoy some very well done visuals, then this movie will probably give you a fun 2.5 hrs - but if you actually want a movie that sticks with you and makes you want more... try again. I will not watch the planned sequel.
