Hokey cornball flick misses the mark

Rating: 4/10 (10 April 2019)

I didn't believe the reviews. I watched it anyway. I got exactly what I expected out of a DC movie - terrible writing (I mean you think I'm supposed to CARE about what happens to an awful person who murders innocent people "but he killed my dad!!!1!!"), goofy CGI (although very colorful and creative), and laughable dialogue (not in a good way). I just don't understand how DC just can't quite capture the lightning and write a good story. A bad guy who wants to take over the world is just not enough anymore - DC is stuck in 1997 as far as their writing is concerned.
But the biggest disappointment is the dude himself. It feels like the writers were like "ehhh just make something up" and he ad-libbed half of his dialogue...and it was goofy even in context. I realized...Jason Momoa seems like a great person and I like him, but dude is a mediocre actor.
It's a silly movie that doesn't decide whether it's campy ridiculous or serious action, and it loses the game at both.
