Patrick Wilson must've lost a bet

Rating: 3/10 (14 August 2019)

Aquaman has it all. The worst dialogue, every movie trope evar, feeble acting and massive plot holes.
Yeah yeah, the visuals are amazing but the story requires a bigger suspension of disbelief than we should be asked to provide. Everyone wears bulky, metal armor - underwater. Atlantis is near enough the surface to get sunlight AND emits crazy tons of self-generated light & energy but human scientists haven't found them and every big-to-little thing the movie doesn't want to explain is chalked up to being caused by the Atlanteans' secret also-not-explained proprietary energy source... but seriously, most of all, it's the lines. "You are the bridge between land and sea! I can see that now." GAH.
I haven't read the comic books but I trust those guys wrote a more plausible story, right?
Still Jason Momoa grunts, leers, smirks and fights his way through scenes to seem realistic as a superhero and he has some unpolished qualities that work in his favor, even on the bad dialogue. He's obviously been practicing since GOT.
I submit that his level of hotness and his hard work deserve better. For the love of all that is good in the universe, someone please write him a better movie.
Momoa hotness gets 15 stars from me; I deduct 12 for how crap the movie is overall.
*Also, Julie Andrews can be the voice of the Kraken because she was already Mary Poppins AND Fraulein Maria. Djimon Hounsou & Willem Dafoe should know better. And Roy Orbison must be turning in his grave.
