My Thoughts
Unlike many I did not mind Justice League I thought it was decent and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) was one of my favorite characters in the film and I have been looking forward to this film all year, unfortunately the film was a let down for me. One big reason that this film was a letdown for me was that I had high expectations down to the director, I am a big fan of James Waan especially his horror films as he directed the Conjuing 1 and 2 two of my favorite horror films of the past 10 years and he also directed the original saw and a favorite of mine Dead Silence. Not much in this film was engaging, the acting was okay but other than Jason Momoa the performances were below par for me. the plot overall was boring this film for all of its beautiful l visuals (and they were gorgeous) there wasn't anything that really kept me intrigued throughout the over two hour run time and for a film built on action this is very important to keep the viewer interested which for me it failed to do overall. The real major problem for me with this film other than it being boring was there there wasn't much character development for the title character, the development for the title character was lacking overall for a movie that is supposed to give a backstory. The visuals in this film were some of the best I have seen in recent memory and I had no complaints with the film in that regard, for anyone who sees this film it is a feast on the eyes, especially Atlantis. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 63% saying "Aquaman swims with its entertainingly ludicrous tide, offering up CGI superhero spectacle that delivers energetic action with an emphasis on good old-fashioned fun". I agree this film was a visual spectacle but not much else. Overall this film is one of the better films in the DCEU and i would go as far to say the best tot date in my opinion and while it did not live up tho the expectations I had going in it was still a decent movie worth watching at least once.
Rating
Solid Film Best DCEU film so far for me, beautiful Visuals and Jason Momoa gave a good performance as Aquaman but other than that the boring plot and lack of character development brought down the film overall, still worth seeing though. 6.8/10!!
