Not interesting

Rating: 5/10 (8 February 2019)

It's not boring all the time. It's actually boring just a few times. But, most of the other time it's simply not interesting.
It has many flaws. It's way too long. It looks like a not-so-good video-game. Amber Heard is past her prime, at times she actually looks bad - and has not learned acting skills to compensate. Temuera Morisson's "digital deaging" is terrible. It was supposed to give us Jango Fett, instead we got some overweight strange-looking middle-aged guy. The story is way too "all over the place" and derivative (of Black Panther movie, Dune and bunch of others). There's no explanation for Mera's powers of water manipulation, which nobody else demonstrates. Most of the humor is pretty flat as is most of the acting (it's not only Amber). Most of the stuff that's going on does not make sense, even for a comic book movie.
But, it's not terrible, not even really bad. There are good jokes here and there, most of the time it's not boring, it carries through and doesn't fall apart at the end. Feminism isn't too crazy. Sure, Mera saves and guides our hero in ways that don't make sense, including beating up several commandos, but at least she doesn't beat Aquaman and his brother up. The Sicily segment is nice, its action sequences are the only ones that make much sense and are interesting - hell, even Amber looks decent here and almost really acts.
There are worse super-hero-origin movies, but, this one, all things considered, is not worth a watch.
Probably the best joke comes at the start, when Nicole Kidman, finding herself above water for the first time, sees the terrible device that is the TV set and immediately destroys it as the biggest threat. But, there are a few later on. Just don't get annoyed at the many one-liners that Aquaman tries to pull (only a few of which actually work).
