Felt like watching high school kids make a superhero movie

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2018)

What can I say? Pretty mediocre movie from start to finish. Everyone is just here to pick up a paycheck. The lead, Jason Momoa, is too busy trying to channel nineties metal rockstars instead of trying to play Aquaman. It's disturbing at times to see alcoholism being glorified onscreen. What's up with that? Everyone onscreen is going through the motions because they're being asked to play a part in a movie that's already been done a few dozen times before or more that's been done to death. I'm honestly surprised no one has done a parody of superhero movies yet. So many of them follow the same formula.
The end was the worst part of the movie. Nothing was convincing about it. Amber Heard just looked embarrassed. She can't act. It's tragic. She totally knew she was on a set, doing a movie role for a quick buck. She put no effort into convincing the audience of who she was playing onscreen.
Watch in IMAX if you can, some of the cinematography is just gorgeous. Yahya Abdul-Mateen deserves some recognition for his part. I felt this movie may have been a lot better with him as Aquaman. Jason Momoa can't act, I mean, if this was the best you could do, at least just cast Yahya as the lead. He deserves much better and was the one good thing about this film.
