Predictable and cheesy, enjoyable nevertheless

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2018)

Aquaman feels more like a video game than a movie. Atlantean soldiers look straight out of Halo. Although the visuals are spectacular they feel extremely out of place. Oozing magma, laser guns, and even flare torches are all seen inside the ocean.
The storytelling is completely one dimensional. Black manta is a weak villain whom the audience couldn't care less about. Orm lacks any depth like most of the characters in the movie.
Except Jason Momoa and William Dafoe even the acting falls flat. The dialogue is clichÃ©d and if you've seen more than three superhero movies than you'll easily be able to complete the sentence after any dramatic pause in the movie.
Aquaman even messes up the DCEU timeline. Although the movie takes place after JL, Arthur obtains his suit and trident in this movie.
Despite its flaws, Aquaman is clearly a fun movie. The dialogue, though corny at times does its job of making the audience laugh. The stunning Atlantis visuals and a decent origin for the character make the movie worth a watch.
