Aquaman was dumb. I watch every super hero movie religiously and was excited to see this. But so many issues:
1. Too long and convoluted. really, as weak as the acting was did we need to see over 2 hrs of this rubbish.
2. Poor acting and terrible humor. It was at the level of Jah Jah Banks.
3. Weak back story beyond the opening scenes of the meeting of Arthur's dad and the Queen
4. There was barely any link to the Aquaman in Justice League and this version. For example, in JL he was basically the last of his Atlantis people. But here he was King of millions smh.
5. Why the futuristic Atlantians? Again, similar to Star Wars instead of the technology going backwards when they told the backstory, we saw an ultra futuristic Star Wars by Lucas which killed those episodes until they finally brought back the gritty 70s version. Same here, the moment we go under water, instead of dark, ancient and a mysterious kingdom, we see advanced cities from another planet with spaceships under water, lazer guns galore and technology that befits underwater TRON than Atlantis.
6. The villains were like sparring partners in a warm up boxing match. This was the dumbest part. No intelligence, no devious, no backstabbers, no evil, no creatures destroying the planet or seas, just jealous brother wanting to be king smh. Even Black Mantra was basically Maguyver looking for revenge but instead of killing Aquaman, spent half the time talking him to death. WEAK!!!
7. The language used in this movie may as well have been written by some high school teenager with words like "lit" I'm hip" "rad". It was just so cringeworthy.
8. So the Queen is gone for 20-30 years...who knows??? She is thought to be dead. Then reappears out of nowhere in the pits of the earth. Surrounded by billions of sea monsters she somehow survives decades without aging and no explanation how? Apparently she just fights the biggest monster in the movie who is defending a magic fork, but she is
