Solid superhero, poor movie

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2018)

Make no mistake about it. This is one of the best DCU movies out there. Jason delivers a solid aquaman performance true to the Justice League ruffian of the previous movie. What drags it down is actually the storyline itself. You never fully get to understand Arthur's drive and even less so the supporting characters. And the middle act is slow and the indiana jones-esque hunt for clues seem out of place.
An overall good popcorn movie definitely worth seeing. The formular is not quite there but close and it might just be the spark that can lit the DCU again!
And trailer fanboys will be disappointed to find out that the trailer music was just that and not featured in the movie ;-)
