I want to like this movie... so I like this movie.

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2019)

It was okay! Not amazing not horrible. I really want DC to get back on its feet and I was hoping Aquaman would get it there... but honestly I still feel like the franchise is in limbo. The move IS visually stunning. The colors are incredibly saturated,the camera work was really nice, the CGI was well done. However the writing was often cliched and cheesy; jokes fell flat for me(which happens in most movies) there was no money left in the budget for amber heard's wig and last but most importantly it had a horrible score. My god. They had a cover of Africa (by Toto) sung by Pitbull... why. The score wasn't background it was heavy handed and brought me out of the movie often. Very similar to the newest fast and furious movies (obviously) the score works at making moments feel badass and fails at every other emotion. All this aside the movie is simple, don't go on there expecting anything particularly poignant. If you don't think too hard you can just enjoy it.
