An action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman” reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king.

After about 10 minutes, I paused the movie and checked the streaming credits to see if I accidentally rented the parody version, no kidding. Willem Dafoe, who still sounds like he's from the south side of the Bronx, is I kid you not, an underwater sensei. I could stop right there. But the dialogue is so bad it makes Michael Bay movies seem profound. Whoever greenlit this should have their butts cracked with a horse whip. Twice.

I didn't like Amber Heard in this when I first saw it and now, with all of the issues between her and Depp, I like her in it even less. However, with or without her somewhat wooden performance, this movie has a level of cheese that rivals the worst of the MCU movies. Momoa isn't TOO bad in it, but the overall storyline and some of the dialogue falls short, making it difficult for anyone to be taken seriously in this movie. Not a bad popcorn movie to enjoy with the family/kids, but could have been so much better than it was.

They tried way too hard to be Marvel and crashed and burned because of it. Horrible backstory, with horrendous CGI on the father. The characters felt shallow, many scenes unnecessary, and the majority of jokes fell flat. Such a shame, I think Jason Momoa makes a decent Aquaman, but this film was directed, written, and edited so poorly nothing can make-up for it.
