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.

A Visual Spectacle with adequate screenplay

Henry Cavill is the Superman; Jason Momoa is the Aquaman, period. Even after 5 years since it's release, Aquaman is still Entertaining as it was in 2018. Kudos to Director James Wan and the rest of the crew for making a spectacular film.First of all, Thanks to Costume Designer Kym Barrett for nailing it with Aquaman's Suit. The Orange/Green suit looks so authentic and comic accurate, yet doesn't look ridiculous in any angle or shot. Always wondered how this traditional Aquaman suit could be brought to Live Action without looking like a Cosplayer and Designer Kym has proved otherwise. Not just for Aquaman, even the costumes for Orm, Mera & rest of crew are top notch. The atlantean army suits are so stylish and authentic looking.Casting is upto the point. Jason Momoa owns Aquaman. Hope the new DC management doesn't replace him. Amber Heard as Mera and Patrick Wilson as Orm did a commendable performance.Cinematographer Don Burgess, Production Designer Bill Brzeski and of course the Director of the film James Wan have created a visually spectacular underwater world. I could just simply keep looking at all the underwater shots again and again. I wish they show more of Atlantis and its people in the sequel. The Action scenes (both above and below sea level) are top notch. The stunts are good but the way they have been Captured by Don Burgess is awesome. The overall look of the film is even more enhanced by the electrifying music of Rupert Gregson Williams.The only drawback is the screenplay. It follows a typical Hero's Journey in a Three act Structure. The screenplay is coherent and adequate yet predictable. The dialogues are bit cheesy and mediocre. There's nothing new or extraordinary here.Overall, Aquaman is a visual spectacle with a stellar crew and adequate screenplay.

Not the best dc film but a very good one that is just entertaining.

Aquaman is one of the most visually impressive films that superhero films or any movie have done. They made this movie look realistic, especially regarding its CGI sea creatures (which look phenomenal) I will not let visuals carry this movie because this film has notable flaws. I felt that black manta (played amazingly by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) felt he was there cause of fan service and to entertain (which he did greatly with some fight scenes) and that he didn't really do anything major to the story, other than fight Aquaman,also i felt that king norm (patrick wilson) just felt like a villain with a normal villain plan to take over Atlantis but he had some really cool fight scenes but the final battle between aquaman and him felt underwhelming compared to the duel previously scene in the film (which was one of the best fights i seen in a comic book film).Jason Momoa was a perfect fit for Aquaman and just felt natural for him to play the role, which i love. The romance between Aquaman and Mera(Amber heard) felt natural and didnt distract the pacing of the film and Vulko (Willem dafoe) was a great mentor to Aquaman and felt important in the film. Though i do believe the film heavily used action scenes in the film which could be a bit overwhelming there were a couple of good ones, the scope of the film with its beautiful cinematography is definitely a sight to see for the eyes.The last 40 minutes or so of the film just felt slow and unnecessary at times and ruined the pacing of the film at points/ The last fight at the end could've been longer and could've been at a different location to make it more impactful and cooler to see (but that's just a nitpick for me) Also the people of the trench and the fishermen people as well as the brine didnt feel fleshed out and just felt like a generic army of people to fight and didn't feel important at all other than just being essential to king orm and didn't feel that fleshed out in my opinion.But that is my full opinion of aquaman and i hope you enjoyed reading my rambling and if i had to rate this movie i would give it a solid 7.5/10.
