Great graphics, but the dialogue and logic holes make it unbearably bad. For example, Mera stealing a boat when they can literally swim faster than it.

Awful movie, one of the worst I've ever seen in theatres. Only people who would maybe enjoy it are little kids or soccer moms fantasising over Jason Momoa. Lol.

The plot is somehow overcomplicated and extremely simplistic at the same time, but most definitely unoriginal. Visually looks like a tasteless neon vomit, form the plastic looking Atlantean armors, through the Star Wars prequel era like architecture of Atlantis and creature design, to Amer Heard’s red wig. The actors are not at their best either, at no point I could root for the “heroes”. Not to mention the “humor”, which makes this DC movie feel like it’s trying to be the worst Marvel one. Expand

Momoa is a great guy but we all kind of hope for Chris Nolan Dark Knight type DC movies and the keep handing us Joel Schumacher type Cheese.

DC seems to constantly hireMomoa is a great guy but we all kind of hope for Chris Nolan Dark Knight type DC movies and the keep handing us Joel Schumacher type Cheese. We don’t just want something “fun” ... we want something respectable. DC seems to constantly hire people who miss the point, fans want Comic cinema that is good enough for the adults that have grown up on comics for decades. Not Momoa’s fault, but take note of the recent release of The Snyder Cut, first thing he did was remove all of Whedon’s cheesy quips. DC, pay attention; Joker, Dark Knight Trilogy and Snyder Cut (already) some of your most respected films to date. Even Wonder Woman was dark and gritty set in WW1. Tim Burton’s Batman. Your best and most successful Movies have a general theme... Darker, Grittier and no or very minimal cheesiness. Now let’s luck at your fluorescent cheesy list; WW84, Aquaman, Justice League, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, and let’s not forget the unwatchable Suicide Squad. ... Ok I think we’re done here.

Wow, who gave this a positive review? I gave it a one cuz Jason Momoa is sexiest thing I have ever seen. Movie is for kids Worst script I have ever seen. Worse than wonder woman .Please tell me there is more of us that didn’t like this.Wow, who gave this a positive review? I gave it a one cuz Jason Momoa is sexiest thing I have ever seen. Movie is for kids Worst script I have ever seen. Worse than wonder woman .Please tell me there is more of us that didn’t like this. Ok let’s see:
1. Did I say script was horrific, generic predictable
-dialog was childish,
-I could see the actors reading the script off the page, is that directors fault. They spent so much time of the CG that they didn’t pay attention how horrible the script was
2. CG was bad, cartoonish, very video game...not believable. I can see the green screen!!!!!!
3. Poor costumes and wigs, I can tell amber is wearing a lace front wig. And under water creatures wearing s shoes!!! Yup Nichole Kidman had shoes on when she came out of the water!! And a suit that the necktie was loose!! Isn’t she supposed to be from under water? What happened to blending the neckline into her skin? Just baaad. Ruined it from minute one
3. Over the to sound effects, just not believable . Daggers sound like swords ...just bad
3.. now Nichole Kidman was is baaaaad Casting ! She was awful, I did not even believe her acting! The fight scene she did in the beginning is comical
4. Even thought the music was cheesy!!! It had potential but it was one cheesy line after another and very predictable. Even the music was cheesy. Drove me crazy. And the ending.......ugh, couldn’t watch! And...they kept it open for a second one.

5 years ago I liked to say "I love action movies"...
Today it's just a repetitive boring market for kids and fanboys.
Aquaman was just as trashy as every other Marvel movie in the past 5 years.

About that woman who play Mera SHE CAN NOT ACT, such a bad actress, she was only cast because she looks pretty in that wig, and this is somenthing cause that was a terrible wig. And there is no chemistry between two main characters.
The CGI is very good and some actions scenes work, but that is all. They have to take some lessons on how to tell a story and still make it fun, with the Wonder Woman team.
Once again a disposable summer movie.

Warner Bros does not seem to care about moral issues.
As long as a bad person like Ms. Heard shows no remorse and does not appologize for anything, giving her a platform should be a big no no.

It manages to do what I thought were not possible and edges out Wonder Woman as the worst DC film made.

Calling it a DC film is the primary misnomer. It effectively isn't. What it genuinely is, is a Disney movie with out of place murders, profanity and even honest to God Disney Easter eggs buried within. Such as the Goofy "Whaahahahooey" falling scream and referencing the Disney film Pinocchio. It goes shot for shot emulating tried and true Disney formulas and constantly tries to allude to Disney through the whole overly drawn out affair. It takes the worst elements of Disney super hero films and produces a bland wannabe copy absent anything resembling artistic integrity. Its big budget Hollywood summer blockbuster schlock, released in the winter.

Even if you can get past the Disney fan service, the film is simply not good. A ridiculous and forever irredeemable character, a sad rogues gallery, tired plot riddled with errors and outright lack of thought, devoid of originality or anything thought provoking. It spends its run time trying so hard to over the top itself with its extensive overly neon CGI that it feels like the illegitimate love child of a B list MCU character and a Fast and furious film. Which to no surprise its Director was previously involved in the F&F franchise.

I give WB kudos however for resisting the urge to pull another Disney trope and have either licensed or got the rights to contemporize the 1968 song "I want to marry a light house keeper" for the sound track.

This film is so bad that it actually manages to set the whole genre of superhero films back and that is with how much damage Disney has already done to any legitimacy in film that super hero films like Blade, Logan and Deadpool were actually able to muster.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an avid movie goer I am insulted that the studio even put this movie out. There is absolutely no way the director and producer have ever seen an actual movie and Jason Mamoa should be ashamed to have put his name on this. I walked out of the theater after 30 minutes and told the manager they have a duty to not allow guests to spend their money on this movie. As to what caused me to walk out? Here's some of the details...... SPOILERS AHEAD.....
The movie begins as an awful throwback to Falcon Crest type soap format with Nicole Kidman CGI'd to look young and as hard as it was to make it through this first part I was hoping the action would at least make up for it. Not the case. Jump to Aquaman jumping on board a Russian (yes Russian) submarine and the scene couldn't have been more of an intro to a gay porn where he lands, swishes his hair back, close up on face, steam in the back ground, and looks at the camera and says "Permission to come aboard?"

Seriously? The following scenes where the actors are trying to fight/shoot/struggle at whatever the antogonist is were painful to watch. Broken editing, poor camera angles, poor sound editing and music. Its just the worst. When I found myself wishing I was watching a Nicolas Cage movie that was when I told my girlfriend we're walking out. This is one of the worst films I have seen since Baywatch and its even worse than that.

I was really - really hoping that this one could be DC`s good movie alas I was so wrong... From the very first seconds I was baffled by horrendously cliche acting(if it can be called as such), the cheap shot jokes from the very-very start of the film just do not fit into the character. There is no character development , all lines are done like they are just being blandly read of a piece of paper at the initial reading , without any passion or want from actors. The moments like fight scenes or the first reveal of the lost city , were supposed to be exciting , they were not, they were so poorly done that I was literally falling asleep in a theater...I couldn't finish watching this atrocity , I stood up and walked out. Conclusion- its a garbage film , with a ton of unnecessary cliches and bland unwitty humor. Expand
