How The Tides Have Turned

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2019)

Going into Aquaman I was pretty hyped, not only is he an overlooked superhero but it has James Wan behind it. While many of us know James Wan for horror films he definitely delivered a great movie in Aquaman. It certainly is not a flawless movie by any means but it is one hell of a good time. I still think Wonder Woman is the best DCEU film but this one is without a doubt second. The film is a beauty with great cinematography and visuals. The actions scenes are very well done especially since 90% of them are underwater. The cast is great as well with Jason Mamoa and Amber Heard being the best choices for Aquaman & Mera. Their chemistry is amazing with one another and it definitely makes them more likable. Yahya as Black Manta was also another amazing cast choice. The film is definitely over the top but it's mad so be over the top. The cheesy over the top moments just made this film more entertaining in my opinion.
Like I said this movie is by no means flawless and does come with some weak aspects. The writing in the film could of been improved and some of the one liners were weak. One of the weakest aspects for me was the score. The score was very basic and forgettable. If it had a better score such as Wonder Womans it might push it over the top to be the best DCEU film. All in all this film is beyond entertaining and anyone can have a good time seeing it.
