Résumé
Reviewers say 'Aquaman' is lauded for its stunning visuals, especially underwater scenes, and Jason Momoa's charismatic performance. James Wan's direction is noted for its distinctive style and dynamic action sequences. However, the film is criticized for its complex script, underdeveloped characters, and heavy reliance on CGI. Story inconsistencies and unclear motivations are also highlighted. Despite these issues, many commend its effort to refresh the DCEU and its enjoyable, albeit unoriginal, superhero narrative.
Avis à la une
Hard to watch!! Poorly acted and charmless!!! Laughable at times and as boring as listening to a conch shell for an overly bloated 2 hours plus. This was a grind when it should have been a breeze. Not in for anymore of expensive tripe like this that keeps getting peddled like art! It's. It even decent entertainment!
As in a movie by Sergio Leone:
The good: 1) excellent special effects; 2) the actors Nicole Kidman, Temuera Morrison and Willem Dafoe.
The bad: 1) globally average and predictable scenario which does not hold water (ha... ha... ha...); 2) a few jokes barely funny (even less than mine); 3) dialog not very gentle, far away from the Batman trilogy; 4) In a general way, Jason Momoa with a brain within charismatic biceps.
The ugly: in the middle of the film, we may see Aquaman on a boat, with Mera. Aquaman on a boat? Aquaman on a boat?!!!!!? And why not Superman on a push scooter? What a pathetic non-sense!
Synthetically: a middling pop corn movie.

Your usual style-over-substance comic book movie. Flimsy plot, really just a vehicle to move you from one action scene to another. Formulaic and cliched: change the characters and settings and you've got pretty much the story of every comic book superhero. Good CGI, but that's a given nowadays.
There was embarrassing writing, embarrassing acting, and listening to Amber Heard trying to deliver this terrible dialogue with zero inflection was exhausting. Why does half of the population of Atlantis sound like they're from California? The dialogue was never more than cliche with a predictable plot. The "advanced ancient civilization hidden away from the world" trope is already old. There was so much CGI that none of the action ever felt impressive or tense or real. Any time someone said "Ocean Master" with a straight face I wanted to laugh.
This would've been the perfect movie to not take itself too seriously, go for a more lighthearted and irreverent tone like Thor Ragnarok, but they just try so hard. It has none of the superhero charm that Marvel manages to carry over from the comics and thus you have one very long boring slog.
How many scenes did we need where a quiet moment was interrupted by an exploding wall that didn't hurt anybody? I counted three or four. Also, that paint-by-numbers forced romance - "Wow there was a surprise and now we're accidentally holding hands", "Wow there was an explosion or something and I grabbed you " - give me a break. And whoever put together the soundtrack for this film should be summarily executed.

There are moments of awkwardness in the movie, but the stroy is engaging and full of intricate details. The visuals are stunning, too. James Wan definitely did an amazing job with the right cast. I can't think of a better actor to take the role of Aquaman than Jason Momoa. I will give it an A-.

- AnecdotesJason Momoa specifically requested Temuera Morrison, one of Momoa's acting idols, for the role of Arthur's father Tom Curry.
- GaffesAquaman enters the submarine by hitting a hatch cover so hard it falls down the hole. Since the hatch is a smaller diameter than its cover, this would only be possible by deforming the metal, but both hatch & cover remain relatively undamaged.
