AQUAMAN: It's got whozit's and whatzits galore, but who cares i want more.
WORST DC FILM YET. I can’t even begin to describe how bad this movie is. I’d say it was laughable but like many of the clangers in this film I seem to have missed the joke. The script was juvenile, the plot just another lazy rehashed version of King Arther that was unashamedly crowbarred in and some of the acting made the competitors in the Marvel franchise look Oscar worthy. Seriously where’s Chadwick Boseman’s Academy award if this trash can gross almost a billion dollars in the box office?
I could go on and on about the many plot holes of this film and how nobody seems to have thought through the science of the underwater world at all but I won’t because it would be a waste of time, much like this film.
A few positives I guess I could grasp at for the sake of a balanced review would be Jason Momoa makes a decent super/action hero and much like Henry Cavill as Superman has been let down by poor scripts and direction. Also the CGI was impressive but as I said with Justice League the action sequences just make for decent game-play viewing which you can’t really get into as it’s completely unrealistic.
Amber Heard was watchable but I couldn’t help thinking how similar her character and portrayal was to Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow which got quite confusing universe wise for me when remembering character plot points. Also I couldn’t make out if they were intentionally making references to her being somewhat like the little mermaid or not. Like what was with that flute bit that then no one thereafter mentioned ..... and what was with Black Manta costume?! It looked like something from a dated Doctor Who episode! And are we supposed to care about his relationship with his father who dies within the first 15 minutes of the film? ... sorry it’s got me angry and negative again.
All in all don’t bother. I give this film 3.8/10.
Next up my scathing review on Fantastic Beasts part 2 but I think I need another drink before embarking on that shambles of a filler film in yet another money grabbing trilogy.
I've been Christopher Whitmore, thanks for reading.
