Patrick Wilson's villain steals the show. #not

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2019)

Although Momoa gives us a good Aquaman, Patrick Wilson gives us a (yawn) boring main antagonist. It's not his fault, but the lines he's given are painfully childish and one dimensional. Although there's improvement compared to other DCEU entries, childish style writing in some scenes is still one of the main problems in the DCEU.
Manta's doing a better job as a villain, but he didn't exactly drew me in either. Still more complexity than Orm, for sure.
Now, the film's a bit allover the place at times, there are a bit too many subplots that are rushed in the the final act and a couple too-obvious-cliches we didn't need (but didn't hurt us either). Still as a whole it is more consistent and definitely more enjoyable and well executed than BvS and Justice League, so it's safe to say that DCEU is finding what it needs.
I liked Heard's Mera, Kidman was also ok as Atlana, but I found Kidman's and Mr Curry's young selves awkward. Too awkward. I most definitely needed a bit de-aging effect.
