A little bit of Jurassic park, fifth element, and Pacific rim all in one.

I don't know why people are raving about this movie. Don't get me wrong it's far from bad, and it certainly isn't great by any means.
The biggest problem I have with this film is Black Mantis is completely and unnecessary forced into the plot. Most of the major plot holes are around this character.
First off his revenge plot is weak, could have been so much better. He and his dad murder innocent people for a living yet the story tries to make you care about his thirst for revenge. The worst though is how he is able to somehow completely (I mean completely) reengineer, reshape, and dramatically enhance technology that the Atlantians gave him and called it state of the art? Also, he must have done it near a black hole because the rest of the story progresses about a couple of days while he does it, oh and he learns how to use it to fight and fly as well. Absurd and unnecessary.
Other things that bothered me were,
That the comedy was forced, though not bad.
Aquaman tries to stop the war by attacking and killing thousands of innocent? The army that is defending their home and don't want war?
And why the "king" needs to go to war with the last kingdom before atracking the surface is beyond me, it's not like he follows the rules anyway.
Finally humans are in disbelief about a possible Atlantis, yet they live in a universe where superman, wonderwoman and batman are front Page News. Stupid.
