Movie Review - AQUAMAN - PG13 - Starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, William Dafoe, Dolph Lundgren and Nicole Kidman.
My initial thoughts on this mess is "Meh"...The movie is filled with tons of CGI, bad dialog, and it's a poor rewrite of a
classic comic book hero. The only kudos I could possibly give this film are to Kidman, who performed the role of an action hero with a pristine caliber performance. But all of the help from a star studded cast couldn't save this movie. The cliche writing made it almost unbearable to watch this thing straight through without calling bullshit every once in a while...well, actually throughout the whole film.
There's a lot of cheese in this film; and by cheese, I mean a ton of explosions and large under sea
creatures...there's also extreme eye candy for female women to gaze at whenever Momoa was in a scene without his shirt on and
that’s all really about it. The director was trying to make a gritty underwater Wolverine movie and his efforts [plus those of the writers] just didn't cut it. Momoa may be ripped, biker-type good looking man, but he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.
One of the worst effects in the film is that it also has tons of scenes with fast swimmers, some action and a multitude of
underwater neon light. The blue screen effects was just too much for me, and there were times where you could passed the blue screen, giving the actors a pasty look on their faces. The addition of Manta's unusually large helmet made things look a little too silly for such a hyped film.
Of course, at the end of the film, there was plenty of room for a sequel or even another addition for a Super Friends or Justice League sequel; not that I give a crap for something like that.
