Review of Aquaman

Aquaman (2018)
7/10
Aquaman

A great cast, some of the best visual and special effects I have ever seen - a kaleidoscope of colour and movement in just about every scene; sometimes it was hard to know where to look, there was so much going on - and a fun storyline (that, admittedly, has been done before in different settings) makes Aquaman a winner.

Jason Momoa is sensational as Tom Curry/Aquaman, a really commanding presence in all his scenes. I thought Amber Heard as Aquaman's love interest could have been better. Granted, she wasn't given a tonne to work with.

Surprised to see Dolph Lundgren pop up a few times. Great to see Willem Dafoe, an actor I've always thought was great. Same goes for Australia's own Nicole Kidman. In the movie, her character is in love with the character played by New Zealand's Temeura Morrison, which is pretty cool, if you ask me.

I'm pretty easy going and enjoy most everything I watch. Never get too high or too low on a film unless the film is thoroughly deserving of either.

As far as comic book adaptation spectacles go, you won't find many better.
