Well at least they tried

Rating: 3/10 (23 December 2018)

Dear lord - from Amber Heard's terrible acting and wig SO obvious you can actually see the lace front hairline; through to the horrifically overacted EVERYTHING that is Nicole Kidman - this movie is any unmitigated disaster.
Yeah - we get it - Ya read the legend of King Arthur and thought you'd base the whole movie around it complete with jousting, rightful king and all that goes along with it.
Jason Mamoa is actually the very best thing about this - taking on an absolutely abysmal script and somehow still making Aquaman seem cool.
Big budget special effects - so that's kinda cool - hence the two stars - but other than that - this is definitely a kid's movie. They should have employed the writers of Shrek, Toy Story or a docen other movies to write this instead. So overall, casting was an absolute joke; script (like Inception and Batman Begins) tries WAY too hard to be clever and just fails miserably (it's like watching 5 unrelated episodes of "Aquaman The Series" back to back.); the badly cast actors all overact their roles and are supported by some terribly poor acting - and WTF happened to Nicole Kidman and Willem Dafoe's faces?!?!? Did y'all think that would look good? It's like when they colorized movies and posters back in the 1980s - NO!! it does not look realistic.
Next generation of movies people - CGI'ing real actors faces to try and make them look younger......just fail.
This would be a good movie to watch at home with the kids - but save your cinema money for something better
