I don't know what happened at DC to get this story started so well and then botch up the ending, but it's a shame. And what's with the writers not seeming to know the power levels of their characters? Just because this is an Aquaman movie he becomes as strong or stronger than Superman? And the villain takes out the whole Justice League like they're nothing? Argh. Whatever.
I did enjoy the origin story in general, and the conflicted Arthur tryng to figure out who he is and see just how strong he is, but it's pretty rushed. Batman's detective abilities are nice to see showcased and treated seriously, as are Cyborg's abilities. For some reason they throw in a love triangle subplot between Superman, Wonder Woman, and Lois that wasn't needed here. Green Lantern, Flash, and Shazam might as well be decorations. They add some light hearted banter, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it comedy relief, because none of it is funny enough. Although I do like when Green Lantern calls Batman "Spooky."
Overall, if you're a fan, I think it will be worth your time, even if parts of it will have you shaking your head.
