$1B Box Office, Reminds me of Black Panther

Rating: 6/10 (9 February 2019)

Aquaman movie in DC universe reminds me of Black Panther in MCU. High Box office number for a flashy movie. The issue is however if you are a true comic fan you will walk a way with mix feelings.
I'm don't know DC as much as I know Marvel but I had few obvious problems with the movie.. Big one was the power ranger costumes of Atlatis and then somewhat subpar script and acting. To be honest I would rate Justice League more than Aquaman any day.. At least Justice league carried more DC essence in the movie. You can clearly see that Aquaman is made for better entertainment experience than focusing on DC attributes. Somewhat similar to recent Thor Ragnarok, Black Panter etc in MCU where they were really pop cone movies made for general audiences to talk away with a relaxed feeling.
End of the day studios need to make $$ and this movie is made to do just that. DC's darker attributes didn't work so well to attract a larger audience in any recent movies. You can't achieve big box office numbers by trying to impress the comic fan base. You need everyone to watch the movie. So, for that you need a movie with good CGI, flashy story line (not necessarily a good script), good action and happy ending.
I rate Aquaman 6.5. It is watchable and entertaining at most parts... But then as a comic fan I walk away little disappointed.
