POSITIVES…
- As he’s already proven in another movie, Jason Momoa is just charming as heck, in the role of Arthur Curry, AKA Aquaman. He is without a doubt the most entertaining character to watch here.
- The rest of the supporting cast are good too, from Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and more. Plus we get to see Nicole Kidman kick ass.
- The world building is good!
- In terms of spectacle, adventure, and action, this movie absolutely hits it’s marks.
- There’s a particular action set piece in Italy that is just a complete joy to watch.
- The fight choreography is also quite excellent here.
- Director James Wan does wonders with how certain scenes are shown on screen. Plus there are a lot of clever scene transitions too. Amazing work.
NEGATIVES…
- The CGI are hit or miss, especially when it came to some of those de-aging effects, or some of the location work.
- Stupid things still happen here and there.
- There’s one plot development that kinda just never developed, and seemed totally ignored.
- Follows some very derivative plot tropes.
P.S….
- This movie acknowledges and also ignores some of what was introduced during the Justice League film.
