Disappointing and cheesy

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2018)

I felt like this film had potential. Based on the other films so far you try to keep an open mind because this time it might be different.
Ultimately, the movie gets bogged down in far too much distracting CGI, including Hollywood's penchant for making its stars look younger in flashback segments. Particular CGI and effects that bothered me were the shimmer to make it look like they were underwater and a filter on their voices to make it sound like talking with a mouth full of water.
At times this film felt like a cross between National Treasure and the Sword in the Stone while Jason Momoa's Aquaman stumbles around with a brah attitude.
I thought this film had the potential to break away from the earlier DC movies, be a bit different and set its own bar but it has ended up another longwinded disappointing chapter in the DC franchise.
