    Summary

    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.

    one of the best popcorn movies of 2018

    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-.

    Turn your brain off and enjoy!

    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.

    Really?!

    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!

    Second Act Takes It

    The first half set the scene for a better second half. The second half was 8+ stars, no doubt. They could have been released separately, but it was a bold choice to show it like this. The quick pace definitely took a toll on the story but it's still a good one. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

    Your usual style-over-substance comic book 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.

    • Trivia
      Jason Momoa specifically requested Temuera Morrison, one of Momoa's acting idols, for the role of Arthur's father Tom Curry.
    • Goofs
      Aquaman 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.
    • Quotes

      Queen Atlanna: I am Atlanna, Queen of Atlantis.

      Thomas Curry: I am Thomas, Keeper of Lighthouse.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: Black Manta is rescued by Dr Stephen Shin.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK theatrical version was cut to remove bloody detail to secure a 12A rating. That version was also used for the home media release.
