As silly as it is fun

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2018)

Let's be clear, Aquaman is a pretty dumb movie. But boy if it doesnt put a smile on your face then you probably shouldnt be going to a CGI laden superhero film. James Wan embraces the lunacy of the subject matter and delivers. The dialogue is truly what brings down the movie but Jason Mamoa doesnt let the poor script stop him from oozing charisma. While his chemtestry with costar Amber Heard doesnt fire on all cylinders it is still fun to watch everytime they share the screen together. For all the CGI, and there is a ton of it, the only time it's hard to watch is during the final battle. Other than that we get some of the best the industry has to offer. Most of the cast is working below their talents to be sure but they seem to be having fun and deliver convincing performances.
