One of the best superhero origins films

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2018)

This movie was truly a delight. I had previously thought aquaman in the JL film was a bit of a let down. However, in this standalone origins film this all changed. With a stellar cast including dolph lundgren, Julie Andrews, William Dafoe and many more. It is a visual effects marvel with some of the best battle scenes rivalling Star Wars. You are continually blown away by the effects and the fact none of this was actually filmed underwater. The film equally matches avatar for the effects. The movie is long and over two hours plus the usual extra bit after the main titles so don't miss this. Jason M needs to be careful of not becoming too flippant in movies and be a little more serious. In one scene where he talks to his half brother the first line is quite good and delivering and then he ends it by saying "but I now know your a dick" It's not keeping with the rest of the film. Amber is stunning in her various outfits and probably puts down the best acting delivery of her career. I didn't realise just how tall Nicole Kidman is standing taller than Jason! All in all this is fab movie and definitely sets up for a sequel. Marvel now need to look more closely at what DC is doing. Another superman movie with the fab Henry Cahill and DC will have overtaken Marvel. I highly recommend seeing this film. Enjoy
