Did anybody read the script prior to filming?

Rating: 1/10 (18 January 2019)

A zero-star script. One star added for competent CGI.
And the worldwide public has to date paid a billion to see it.
Aquaman was a series of lines and stagings from every movie you've ever seen. And not in a good way. Every scene was predictable. It doesn't take long for that realization to set in. Wait. Didn't we see that scene in Dr. Doolittle with hints of Flipper? And that scene. Was that Casablanca? And were those creatures the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz? No? Could've fooled me.
Want a poignant father-son pirate presentation of a manly heirloom (ugly and savage pirates, not Johnny Depp) right in the middle of a violent boarding? Here's your film.
Want to lurch from a strange undersea world to the Sahara and then to a quaint Italian village - all in five minutes - where the lovers discover amore (and Aquaman pulls a quick Superman heroic), where you think you've somehow landed in The Adventures of Tin-Tin? Here's your film.
Like your lovers to embrace and neck right in the middle of the major battle scene, complete with gal's leg halfway up the thigh of the hero? Here's your film.
And if you haven't seen On Golden Pond in awhile or taken in the Fourth Station of the Cross or heard "He has Risen" since Easter, here's your film.
Bonnie and Clyde escaping under a hail of billets? Check.
Shakespearean family strife (drawing from Merchant of Venice, possibly Hamlet, traces of Romeo and Juliet, a reverse MacBeth, and heavy on the Tempest)? Check.
A terribly wooden script, with no susatained suspense? Check.
Every outcome of every scene obvious? Check.
With this amount of money in the project, there is no excuse.
