Aquaman (DC)

The movie is great

To be honest, I had low expectations of this film and thought it was just another super hero romp, but I was was totally wrong!I loved this film. It was action packed and everything you’d expect from a DC Super hero film. But it also had a good story and plot and the special effects were really good too. I was also happily surprised to find that the film wasn’t all set under water.The main hero is very easy on the eyes, but unlike most most squeaky clean hero’s he has flaws, which makes him believable. There was chemistry between the main characters and there was also some clever humour. In addition, there are some really good performances by the actors in the supporting roles which also added to the overall experience.If you love action, fantasy and super heroes, you’ll love this. But if you aren’t necessarily a fan of comic book films, you’ll still love this as it’s fast paced, full of action and entertaining from start to finish!

It's alright... I still prefer Marvel though.

We liked this film. A good story from the start, not too much back story which often ruins a film. The special effects are great and really enjoyed the imagination and creativity of the aquatic world.If you like science fiction then this is a great film to watch.

This film is set after Synder's Justice League but doesn't continue with that aesthetic, costume design or overall cinematic tone. What we get instead is a lighter, campier kiddie film that looks great in some parts and awfully cheap in others. The gaudy Atlantean soldiers' costumes look like plastic and and Black Manta, well, that outfit just takes the biscuit in silliness. There's no sex scenes or swearing, but this film has too many villains for its own good. There's so much plot threads crammed in here to make several sequels. The only scenes that looked amazing involved the Trench creatures, which makes sense as the director, James Wan, directed numerous horror movies and this is where his real strengths lie. These should have been the main antagonists of the film because they looked so menacing compared to the sock puppets that were King Orm and Black Manta. Unfortunately, Aquaman movie doesn't come close to the greatness of the other instalments like the Wonder Woman film, or Synder's JL, or even Batman vs. Superman.

Amazing FX

Enjoyed watching the movie.

This is an excellent film especially given the less than brilliant offerings from DC of late. Jason Momoa is perfectly cast as Arthur Curry. He has a great balance of humour and physical presence and his banter with Amber Heard is very entertaining. (Certainly the best thing Amber has done) All in all a big well done to everyone involved. If all DC films were this good they would not be getting their backside kicked so badly by Marvel
