The story is not a game changer and Atlantan is a bit disappointing but the main cast is really good. Orm is a good and challenging villain, Mera slew her part, the introduction of Black Manta is well done and the portrayal of Arthur is interesting. The action scenes are great, so is the CGI. The costumes and makeups definitely deserved at least an Oscar nomination. The 3rd act is breathtaking.
Thank you Wan for bringing back the posing, it really felt like in the comics (especially for the last fight)
- The only con is the humor, it's weak and not really good. That's the only thing keeping the film to be perfect

Pure entertainment! As ITSV it raises the bar high for the comic book genre… Expand

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.

Aquaman rises from the depths and brings back faith in the DCEU! After the underwhelming Justice League movie, the task of keeping the light on in the darkness of the DCEU falls on the most underestimated member of the roster: Aquaman. In theAquaman rises from the depths and brings back faith in the DCEU! After the underwhelming Justice League movie, the task of keeping the light on in the darkness of the DCEU falls on the most underestimated member of the roster: Aquaman. In the biggest surprise of the last couple of years, the new DC is movie is not only good, but probably the best of the new universe. All in all, I, for one, left the theatre in good spirits, a feeling that persists even a day later as I’m writing this review.

Even the synopsis is more coherent than most of the other DCEU movies. When it comes to the story, Aquaman is inspired by Geoff Johns‘s New 52 story-arc that relaunched the character in critical and public acclaim. While they are not profound or thought provoking, the story and the script are simple, easy to follow and very engaging. It is inspired by the Arthurian quest, while also being a swashbuckling-adventure movie. The way the story goes always makes you excited for the next step in the hero’s journey, because Aquaman finally manages to follow the classical mythic structure. I’m not saying moviemakers shouldn’t take risks bending or modifying this structure, but most of the time we get convoluted and confusing stories like Batman V Superman. The third act of the movie and the fact that it embraces every element, be it silly or not, makes it better than Wonder Woman, for me.

The cast is pretty solid and the characters receive a pretty balanced screen time. Jason Momoa's performance in JL was decent, but felt out of place. Here, Momoa shines. He unleashes all of his charisma and has fun playing a fun character. Aquaman in light-hearted and a little arrogant, coming to terms with his heritage and history. He isn’t very changed after the events of JL, but he does understand the consequences of his actions. He grows on his arthurian journey and becomes a more responsible person. His relationships with those around him are also very important. Mera (Amber Heard) is his guide on the journey and the chemistry between Momoa and Heard plays a big part. I was very impressed with Amber‘s acting. Vulko (Willem Dafoe) is his mentor, the one that showed him the atlantean way and I was sad that his role was not as big as I hoped, but Dafoe makes the best out of his appearances. Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Arthur’s mother, also does a very good job. Temuera Morrison‘s role as Tom Curry is small but brings an important emotional element.

The movie has two villains, King Orm, Arthur half-brother, as the main one and Black Manta, as a secondary one. Patrick Wilson as King Orm does a terrific job! His character is constructed as a roman emperor: stern, noble and arrogant. Orm has a purpose and his motives are always clear, so no mumbo-jumbo villain here. He sees himself as the true leader of the Atlantean Empire and acts like it. His experience working with James Wan on both franchises, but also in horrors gives him an edge in playing a menacing, but powerful character. Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is Aquaman’s main antagonist in the comics, but the story nedeed to focus on Arthur’s rise and his battle with Orm, so Manta is merely introduced here. His origin story is very well done, as we find out about him and his hatred for the hero and seeing just enough of him to understand his story. He is clearly set up as a bigger villain the future Aquaman stories.

Visually, Aquaman is breathtaking. The underwater world looks amazing. Blending elements of Sci-Fi and fantasy, Aquaman shows us an imaginary world that is the stuff of dreams. Yes, the movie is bonkers! You have sharks with laser guns on their backs, armored seahorses, warrior crabs and an octopus playing the drums! But it’s the kind of stuff we used to imagine as kids, the kind of creations that made us daydream forever and it is amazing. It might seem silly, but Aquaman doesn’t shy away from going full on comicbook style and for that, it deserves a golden starfish! The soundtrack is also very well crafted, composed by Rupert Gregson-Williams. The music fills every scene with that sense of wonder and heroism, making the whole journey an adventure for the viewer as well.

Overall, Aquaman is a solid superhero movie! It knows what it wants to make us feel and never strays from the path it chose. When I left the cinema I felt good, I felt entertained and pleasantly surprised, as I was cautious, it being a DC movie. Aquaman made me feel that spirit of adventure, awe and wonder that I haven’t felt since I was a kid and stayed up late to watch The Wizard of Oz or The Clash of Titans on TCM and that makes it one of the best comicbook movies. Because, in the end, as much as we want drama and profound lessons, we need superheroes and their stories to make us feel better, to take our minds away from our daily lives and our problems and transport us into a fantastical world brimming with adventures, heroes, monsters and the hope of a better world.… Expand

You must suspend your disbelief and embrace its cheeky weirdness. Now, more than a movie, Aquaman is a visual JOURNEY, an immersive experience. This movie is all about its breathtaking world-building, lavish CGI and VFX. The very straightforward story and its charming characters serve one purpose: make you dive deep into their world and fall in love with it. Remember Avatar? Well, Aquaman delivers ten times more joy, awe-inspiring views and badass characters, with almost no political agendas. This movie is aware of what it is and it doesn't pretend to be anything else, because it really doesn't need to, which makes it DCEU's most honest film so far. Back to CGI and VFX, it's the most ambitious film since Avatar and even Gravity, as it makes possible what was believed to be impossible (and even unthinkable): an underwater epic, of which we only really had gotten a glimpse with James Cameron's The Abyss. That was almost 30 years ago!… Expand

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.… Expand

Aquaman is a very entertaining and self-contained movie that breathes more life into the DCEU. Gone are the overly serious tones of previous DC flicks. This movie required no prior knowledge and everything was explained without being condescending to the audience. The action was solid and believable. The acting was great and the characters all lived up to the hype. This is how you build a franchise, I like that DC is now focusing on standalone films instead of going straight for the big team up. It shows maturity on the part of the studio. Aquaman was never really a hugely popular character to begin with but this movie succeeds in making him cool to an entire generation of new fans. Once he was the most overlooked and ridiculed member of the Justice League but now he may just be many people's favorites. I don't understand the level of criticism towards this film from various critics. It's like they want DC to fail. If this was a Marvel movie they would have us believing its the best thing since sliced bread. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a HUGE favor and go check it out.… Expand

Plot: 8

Despite suffering from the critical failure and box office flop of Justice League one year ago, DC Extended Universe continue to move forward with the sixth instalment featuring Aquaman in his very first solo movie after making a cameo appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and officially debut in Justice League.

One year after the events of Justice League, Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Momoa) stops a group of pirates led by Jesse Kane from stealing a Russian submarine in the middle of the ocean. After fighting briefly against Jesse and his son, David Kane, he left Jesse to die for his crimes while David swears revenge on him.

In Atlantis, King Orm/Ocean Master (Wilson), the half-brother of Aquaman, is planning to declare war on the surface world for polluting the ocean. Mera (Heard) finds Arthur to convince him to stop him from starting a war. Arthur reluctantly goes with her to Atlantis and meets up with his old mentor, Nuidis Vulko.

In order to stop King Orm, Vulko tells Arthur to find King Atlan’s Trident, so that he can reclaim his rightful place as the King of Atlantis. Suddenly, they got ambush by King Orm’s men and they managed to escape except Arthur. During captivity, Arthur challenges his half-brother to a duel but he lost. Mera immediately rescue Arthur and both of them escape from Atlantis. They begin their journey to find King Atlan’s Trident while King Orm hires David Kane to kill Arthur and provides him with Atlantean armour and weapons. With that, he becomes Black Manta and pursues his vendetta.

I have good news for all DC fans. This movie is totally awesome next to Wonder Woman and better than any other instalments. It was way better than I thought. What I like about the movie are the CGIs and visual effects. The CGIs and visual effects in this movie are very well done and they are very incredibly stunning, beautiful and magnificent. The visual effects artists definitely deserved to be praised for their hard work efforts. It was so good that I feel like I’m watching a movie in an oceanarium.

The performances of the cast are amazing especially for Jason Momoa, Amber Heard and Patrick Wilson. They were really awesome in their role and they totally nailed it. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman have done a great job too. Once again, James Wan has done it again with his direction and successfully redeem the franchise. I only hope that this trend will continue in future instalments.

The story is good and it was really fun which I enjoyed a lot. For better experience, you can try watching the movie in IMAX. Not much of a downfall in this movie but I felt that David Kane/Black Manta was underused in this movie. Hopefully, he will play a big role in the sequel or in the other future instalments. I am looking forward to the next instalment in the franchise. There are no post-credits scene but do stay back for a mid-credits scene and after that, you may leave.… Expand

Aquaman é um filme que sem sombra de dúvidas entrega uma mitologia gigantesca, a maior vista num filme de herói, agora é só manter nos próximos filmes os reinos pra que seja uma - franquia.

O CGI é realmente uma obra de arte, ver como ele trabalhou Atlantida da um orgulho de verdade, as cenas de ação do filme são um espetáculo a parte, seja na superfície ou no mar elas foram trabalhadas de forma excepcional.

As atuações do filme podem dividir opiniões, Nicole é o ponto alto do filme, ela traz toda a carga emotiva mesmo, Patrick como Orm é bom, mas achei ele "vilão demais" sério demais, senti falta de um ar sínico, talvez se ele tivesse mais tempo de tela quem sabe? Momoa nasceu pra viver Aquaman, de verdade, ele deixa o personagem mais interessante pro grande público e até aqueles que não gostam mesmo do herói, ele ganha o filme com sua presença carismática, ele nas cenas de ação me fez gritar de como ele é ótimo, já Amber eu senti que faltou algo nela, senti que ela é fora do tom, ela entrega cenas de ação que me provocaram histeria e deslumbre, visualmente ela está impecável como todo elenco, porém falta, espero que ela consiga trabalhar melhor a personagem que já conquistou o público.

O roteiro é bom, ele consegue ser de fácil entendimento pra todos, apesar dos reinos de Atlantida serem pouco explorados, mas acredito que isso seja material para um Aquaman 3 e a Guerra dos Reinos, as motivações dos vilões são bem executadas e da até pra defender o lado de cada um, e eu amei a forma como usaram o poder dele de falar com os peixes, ele fez com que soasse necessário demais.

Aquaman é uma divertida e linda aventura, respeita os quadrinhos e personagens de forma nostálgica e contemporânea, com visuais nunca vistos antes pra um filme do gênero, e que vai deixar o herói num patamar que ele sempre mereceu, visualmente falando é o melhor filme de herói já feito.… Expand

Visualmente impactante, con personajes relativamente bien trazados y acción a mansalva. En serio, debe de ser de las películas con más escenas de acción que he visto en mi vida. Entretenida de principio a fin, Wan crea una película deVisualmente impactante, con personajes relativamente bien trazados y acción a mansalva. En serio, debe de ser de las películas con más escenas de acción que he visto en mi vida. Entretenida de principio a fin, Wan crea una película de superhéroes con todas las letras que se preocupa de lo único que pretende preocuparse: entretener al espectador. Si es cierto que he echado en falta pausadas de conversación y diálogo profundo, sobre todo después de planos y planos de acción durante más de diez minutos sin descanso.

Aquaman se desenvuelve bien tanto dentro como fuera del agua con unas escenas de lucha cuerpo a cuerpo y coreografías muy bien diseñadas, así como colosales bestias marinas en escenarios épicos impresionantemente representados, donde la mano de Snyder como productor se ve a la legua. Sinceramente, demasiada acción incluso para lo que es: una película de superhéroes (no es broma si digo que más de la mitad de la película son tortazos a diestro y siniestro). Aún así, he salido bastante satisfecho del cine y ha levantado un poco mis expectativas con el universo DC tras Justice League. Recomendada.… Expand

This movie is a fun super hero movie, with a captivating and well portrayed cast. Jason Momoa has done the impossible and made Aquaman a cool and interesting character. Amber Heard did spectacular as Princess Mara, and Willem Dafoe.... He's Willem Dafoe that's all you need. Patrick Wilson took a second to warm up too as a villain, as this is my first time truly seeing him as a villain, however he killed it. All in all a very fun, and very worthwhile experience.… Expand

Here's my disclaimers: I loved Man of Snow, I really enjoyed Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition and believe that one is what should have been the theatrical release, I thought Suicide Squad, both versions, was an absolute train wreck, and I'mHere's my disclaimers: I loved Man of Snow, I really enjoyed Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition and believe that one is what should have been the theatrical release, I thought Suicide Squad, both versions, was an absolute train wreck, and I'm saddened that we may never see the true Zack Snyder treatment to Justice League. And I enjoyed Wonder Woman like everyone else. All that being said, here's my current ranking. 1. Man of Steel
2. Wonder Woman
3. Aquaman
4. BvS Ultimate Edition

This movie was a departure from the serious brooding nature of Man of Steel and Batman versus Superman, and I love the serious nature of those movies, but like most people hate the Martha scene, this was a much-welcomed and needed change from what we just got in Justice League! Aquaman definitely has me wanting to see an Aquaman 2, and has me excited for the future of DCU. That is not to say this movie is 100% flawless, but I had a blast in the theater and we'll be buying this movie when it comes out! Worth every penny!… Expand

Acting was good, Jason Momoa perfectly played Aquaman, Orm and Mera were good.
And I won't forget to mention the soundtrack, one of the best I've heard in a while.

Why am I giving it 9? I felt the story could've been a little better. It's just that.

If you are a superhero comic/movie fan, it's a must watch!… Expand
