All Right!

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2019)

It's very difficult to satisfy the world of comics. Especially, Aquaman! James Wan truly earned his right to join billion dollar club.
Casting was great. I was really terrified after hearing that Jason Mamoa & Amber Heard is going to lead $200 million dollars project. They both stole the show. Jason is really played Arthur character nicely. Director & Writers definitely knows what they're doing. They didn't do like comic book Arthur Curry's character. They have created their own version of Aquaman who is going to lead more future DCEU movies. Mera is beautiful queen and badass heroine. My man! Black Manta has definite character development to hate Aquaman. Dolph was a big surprise. Williem Dalfoe was perfectly casted as Vulko. At first time, I thought King Orm character was under utilised. But, Patrick Wilson stole the entire show while I watch this movie for the second time. I can see clearly what James and Writers did to this character. Origin of Ocean Master. Best thing about in this whole movie is love story between Temuera Morrison and Nicole Kidman.
Oh about music! Some moments took my breath away just like Blade Runner & Avatar. Awesome soundtrack. For the record, DCEU movies has awesome soundtracks till now! Except Suicide Squad which I don't remember.
James Wan admires everything equally... Story, cringy comic stuffs, showing earth's 70% of underwater atmosphere as real as fantasy, Atlantis and other kingdoms and importantly global warming issues and embracing the real sea creatures. Only thing bugged me in this movie is that scoreboard showed just before their gladiator fight. Some critics complaining about plot shifting, pitbull song, flashback character's vfx... For me, those things never bugged me...
Definitely I've enjoyed this movie more in my second round. We're in the era of Jason Bourne action style, Christopher Nolan's reality style of fantasy, Blockbuster fever for past 6 years of MCU & Star Wars movie which Aquaman did the job in it's own way. People have forgot about 80's adventure movies & 90's action movies. James Wan brought that back as epic action packed fantasy adventure movie.
Switch off your book mind & open your comic book mind.
You will sink inside this movie!
Aquaman is definitely worth watching with the whole family.
Oh I forgot to mention this!
This movie is second best IMAX visual I've seen in Big screen.
P.S. my first one is M:I Fall Out
