Delivers on promises

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2018)

James Wan has done an incredible job of creating the expansive underwater world of Atlantis. It's highly imaginative and visually stunning.
Jason Momoa proves that he was the perfect choice for a 'cooler' version of Aquaman. Nicole Kidman also has a great performance as Queen Atlanna and Amber Heard's Mera grows on you as the film progresses.
There is only a tiny reference made to any DC film that has come before it and the film as a whole benefits from it. This film is a true standalone and is right up there with Wonder Woman as a top tier DC film.
