Not yours or your granfather's "Aquaman" yet D.C.'s long time whipping boy gets some big screen respect!

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2018)

For years the man of the high seas has been over looked and not respected always trailing and falling far behind "D.C.'s" big boys of "Superman", "Batman" and even "Wonder Woman". Finally a big screen film of "Aquaman", and much different from my memory of fish man as with Jason Momoa's take this superhero looks more like a heavy metal weight lifting super star! And the film is filled with plenty of action scenes and the "CGI" and special effects are plenty. Still aside from all of the big stuff it's a good origin story of how his parents meet and how "Aquaman" comes about. And it's a journey of sibling conflict and war under sea as the kingdom and water country of Atlantis is at risk and along the way Mera(Amber Heard) gives support as King Orm is a big threat to underwater peace. Thru it all Aqua's mom Atlanna(Nicole Kidman) is an underwater spirit that's still present for things to stay afloat. Overall pretty good take and work from "D.C." as the man of the sea finally gets movie exposure.
