Meh

Rating: 4/10 (26 January 2019)

This is not an awful movie. If you completely turn your brain off, it is not hard to enjoy.
That having been said, the story is weak and the dialogue is absolutely abysmal. Mamoa is great in this role, but the character was so much better written in Justice League. Both Kidman and Dafoe were just wasted.
I suppose that it is completely subjective, but so many of the directorial choices took me out of the movie.
What the DC people don't seem to realize is that simply because a movie is based upon a comic doesn't mean that it has to be written to appeal solely to 10 year old boys. Characters are allowed to speak as though they are real people, with real emotions, and who have actually passed high school English. Hard as it may be to imagine, the story doesn't have to be stupid just because it's based upon a comic book.
