An Ocean of Awesome.

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2018)

Aquaman..... Spoiler free review.
So. I'm going to gush over this movie... Pun intended.
Where to start. Oh I know James wan is a directing and producing genius and the only man who could pull off the perfect aquaman movie.
The cinematography for this movie is something I never expected. But had me in awe all the way through. With movement and camera pans and angles that my mouth open saying wow all the way through.
A multi genre storyline that crosses from fantasy. Sci fi. Comedy action and suspenseful horror. Everything I was not expecting and surprised by.
The story is a mix match of every Aquaman comics origins managed to make every single one connect and work coherently.
The cast is perfect. Not a single actor is out of place and feels perfect for the role. I especially liked Patrick Wilson as Ocean master who gave it his all along side Jason mamoa.
Special fx and CGI. So I'm always a stickler for CGI in movies but this time I can't say this. The put down in this movie is due to props . But only in the costume department. Where some of the costumes look like outcasts from late 90s power rangers although very aesthetically correct to the comic books. Some costumes look a little cheap and look slightly cosplayish.
Music. Wow that music...... I SAID WOW.... THAT MUSIC. A great mix of genres once again that work within the circumstances of the scene TThey are put in to. With a mix of orchestral synthwave rock rap. This films score works on every level.
To sum up this movie had me smiling all the way through. It is DCs best movie. Better than wonderwoman (And I love wonderwoman) Better than batman the dark Knight. Better than watchmen. Yes..Better than one of my favourite adaptations ever.....
GO SEE THIS FILM 9/10
