I know nothing about Aquaman other than he wears a yellow and green outfit and talks to fish while riding a giant seahorse - at least that is all I remember from the cartoons when I was little. That being said, I went into this movie with an open mind ready to be introduced to the underwater hero.
Ahem.
So this wasn't my favorite. It was like Avatar meets Jurassic Park with some Star Wars mixed in and a dash of Thor with a mediocre plot and a poorly defined timeline. DC has managed to abandon the "dark" theme and set design, embracing their colorful comic roots but that also led to a corny and predictable script on all accounts and once more, the storyline and itinerary seems to be improbable even for a comic book.
The costumes and special effects are pretty amazing and the transition to the classic comic book regalia is pretty cool (although I did like the modern motif in Justice League) it just doesn't all come together and the timetable of this and Justice League is weak if not confusing. As an origin story it was a huge let down and didn't even come close to Wonder Woman, which is the only DC movie that actually holds its own and can be classed amongst the Marvel films.
It is spectacular eye candy - I will give them that. 💋
