How was it?

Rating: 2/10 (8 March 2019)

I watched #aquaman the other day & it shocked me; so I watched it again yesterday to make sure it was a #bad movie & not just in my head or because of my mood. It was bad, really.
Throwing in a beautiful girl & a couple of cheap jokes does not make for a good film. No matter how hard the crew tries or how good a job does the CGI team, they don't compensate for a miserable #screenplay. Take this dialogue for example: -aquaman: "how did you find me?" -black manta: "your lady friend has people who like to keep tabs on her." Are you serious? The infamous fearsome pirate gives away such advantage just like that?! When the #villain is dumbed down, the #protagonist gets dumbed down as well. It was a great opportunity to make #Mira look smart, but the #writers were not clever enough to seize it. And this dumb person can take apart a "prototype" Atlantian weapon & turn it into a helmet. That very much sums up the consistency in the story.
And if the goal was to surprise the audience by revealing that his mother, the queen of Atlanta, was alive & struggling all these years, you shouldn't have mentioned her being "sacrificed" three times prior to her reappearance.
Additionally, whoever said the gaps in the story could be filled with #music, is gravely mistaken. The music is so loud & varied that it sometimes over-shadows even the actors & actresses performance.
Finally, the worst issue, what made me see red, is the callous use of the #Ocean'sPollution issue. The makers of this flawed film have had the audacity to take advantage of such dire problem of our time just to make more money. They have cheapened the serious concerns regarding this phenomenon.
It is better to make no film at all, than to make a wretched one based on beloved characters. The sooner you learn this, the less credibility & profits you loose. Think of all the resources wasted in the process.
