Aquaman (2018)
5/10
Absolutely Bland

One of the worst superhero films out there and no surprise it's another from DC. A vast improvement on Justice League it's not much of a step up from rock bottom. It's at times unreasonable to expect realism from this type of film but I've never ever seen an outing that's looked so fan made or cheap as this. The non CGI costumes, characters etc. Look horrendous and there's two or three fairly big scale action sequences which are visually quite big moments but are vastly over crowded and just blur into a multi coloured mess. Overly long at nearly 2 and a half hours it's got no right to be so long and does seem to have moments where the foot is taken off the gas and becomes stagnant. Only positives to come from this are clearly Momoa and Dafoe who seem genuinely happy to be involved and perform quite well, other than that it could've been handled differently over multiple films maybe to be more impactful. Has similarities to the first Thor film but as you know by now the way these two franchises have been handled is vastly different and such Aquaman is a toothless and dull release
