Action-packed movie that fails to excite

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2018)

The second I watched the trailer I immediately was like 'this is ONE movie?'. It seemed there was too much happening at once, and after seeing the movie, that's exactly the case.
The main storyline is clear and easy to understand. It promises a good movie for sure. But the main storyline gets clouded with unnecessary side-plots, which aren't thought out very well. This wouldn't have been a problem, hadn't there been as man plot-holes.
I get that DCEU wanted to make it about pollution of the Earth's oceans, but it felt forced. The wannabe Ocean-master just seems like he wants to rule.
The movie was very one-dimensional. The dialogue is the worst I've ever heard in a fiction-flick. Too much CGI. The soundtrack was beautiful though, sometimes a bit misplaced maybe.
Momoa's performance was great, he is very well suited for this role. The cinematography was breathtakingly beautiful as well, true eye-candy.
It isn't a superb movie, but it's a lot better than Justice League, and it's certainly a step into the right direction for the DCEU. I'm sure that there are great moies coming.
