Spectacular!

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2019)

When I heard James Wan was going to direct, I was cautiously optimistic. DC Comic movies are dark and gloomy, the only exception being Wonder Woman.
Then I saw the trailers and knew DC had made the right choice in choosing the man who also directed Fast 7.
Aquaman is easily DC's best movie. In my opinion it bests Marvel's best (apart from Infinity War).
Jason Momoa totally nails it. He is not your everyday comic book hero. He is a beer drinking, fist slugging, rugged, foul mouthed protagonist who develops into something more.
The story is not that special but the way it was executed was what impressed me. The flashback scenes came in at the right times. The action scenes are just so cool and wonderful, hard hitting too!
The visuals just left me gaping. Just imagine Star Wars combined with Avatar and you get an idea of what I'm talking about.
The score was just out of this world! All the actors did a great job. The outstanding ones are Jason Momoa and Willem Dafoe.
The Russo Brothers had better think of a way to top this (Avengers Endgame) cos this movie is the pinnacle of superhero movies!
Thank you, James Wan and Jason Momoa! I am so proud of this movie! Undoubtedly one of the best superhero movies ever made!
