Visual extravaganza

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2019)

Following the marvel way and encouraged by the success of dark knight trilogy, DC established dceu in 2013 with man of steel which I found slow and boring but was a decent success. Then came another boring film dawn of justice and pathetic suicide squad. After that came the first female superhero film wonder woman which worked wonders for dceu. But those wonders didn't last after the release of justice league, a blatant copy of avengers.
And now, dceu comes with aquaman who we saw in justice league (but I was wondering where he was as only focus was on wonder woman flash and Superman).
Aquaman narrates the origin of Arthur curry half human half atlantean. In the first few minutes it captures your attention, with excellent action scene of Nicole Kidman. After then the film takes you to a visual treat. Jason momoa mass intro, underwater scenes, Atlanta kingdom, fight between Arthur and his half brother, escaping from Atlanta to get the golden trident, the superb action scene in Italy, Arthur getting the Trident and the final battle all these does not let you take off your eyes at the screen. Only drawback is story is not that great and slightly similar to Thor 1. Aquaman was my best 3d experience. On the whole, aquaman is an absolute visual treat which not even a marvel film provided me. DC must concentrate for the time being only on solo superhero films. Hats off to director James wan.
