An adventure movie for a family

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2018)

Don't let the title deceive you. Aquaman is not a hero movie, but is a sci-fi/fantasy adventure movie like Percy Jackson, where heroes have to travel from places to places according to clues to claim the magical item.
Pros:
+ Nice exploration of Atlantis' background
+ Good chemistry between Arthur and Mera
+ Variety of environments
+ Easy to consume as a family movie
+ Beautiful visual style
Cons:

Too long
The ending of the heroes quest didn't yield much satisfaction
Felt flat in several parts

Aquaman's story is suit to be in either a multi-part format or as a series of comic books, instead of a single one film. It felt like a fun ride that never get your emotion high enough and flat at some points, because they tried to cram the movie too many stuff, which result in a movie that is too long for its format and heroes quest that doesn't yield satisfaction at all.
Almost everything in the film was told in a very obvious way without a room for any interpretation, as it's aimed at broader audiences.
Here come the good parts
The movie isn't without its merit, as Mera and Arthur's interaction are fun to watch. Both banter from time to time (almost constantly).
Arthur's character development also felt developed progressively. Especially when compared to a man whom care nothing about the world from JLA (which is justified in his background exploration).
