And oh please, the songs used are really good plus the visuals are really good. The main characters are very well explored. Standing in his way is Arthur Curry, Orm's half-human, half-Atlantean brother and true heir to the throne. Orm was lacking a bit in the bad guy charisma department but Black Manta was oozing despicable bad bad bad asshole from the first scene to the last. Silly can be entertaining, but it can also just feel stupid. Well, there is not that much to say really. It's really worth the 2 hours of watching it as the pacing is really good.
Synopsis Arthur Curry, half human half from Atlantis, goes on a trip of a lifetime. The movie is very straightforward and you quickly get excited to know what's to come next after the first act. Special effects are decent, and the story moves along at a decent pace. . Ah, and a very funny scene is watching Aquaman trying not to fall and looking very scared from the roof of one house in Sicily two stories high , when he'd just jumped from a plane thousand meters high with no parachute in the desert. The bad guys were not too bad either.
Movie : Downloads : 26095 Language : English tag : ,,, Genres : ,,,,, Release date : 2018 Summary : The film 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. It's certainly not without heart, but it is still more spectacle than substance. The dialogue and characters in this movie are often ridiculous in the least entertaining way possible. During the late 1950s and 1960s superhero-revival period known as the Silver Age, he was a founding member of the Justice League of America. I have to say that, overall, I had quite a blast watching this movie. Not only does this adventure compel him to come to terms with his real identity, but it also forces him to discover whether he is entirely worthy of fulfilling his own destiny: becoming a king.
Momoa carries the film despite being surrounded by one dimensional characters with digitally botoxed faces. In addition it is quite beautiful. If I want that shit I can turn on the news. Did you spotted the dinosaurs at Jurasic Park? The one gripe I have about the movie is the totally unnecessary green preaching crap. The main characters are very well explored.
The female characters only seem to exist to be Aquaman's conscience because he can't think for himself, as he's boring , they have no flaws or vices in other words no depth. Meanwhile Amber is stunning as redheaded Mera. Something that happens all too rarely. But 10 out of 10 it most certainly isn't. The good points of this film fall mostly on the visuals.
That said, the story was not too bad. I don't know where the hype for this film comes from, because it can't be from the content. The ending could have been done better but it seems that would have made the movie's runtime longer. And oh please, the songs used are really good plus the visuals are really good. It is indeed a good superhero and special effects extravaganza. I would also say that action is pretty positive, the combat is intense and epic. The movie is very straightforward and you quickly get excited to know what's to come next after the first act.
It does not quite reach the masterpiece level after all. Arthur Curry, half human half from Atlantis, goes on a trip of a lifetime. Actor Alan Ritchson also portrayed the role in live action in the television show Smallville. The main thing missing from the film is charm and simplicity, sure Momoa just about saves the day and I think he can develop Aquaman into a loved character, and the film is a step in the right direction. But Nicole Kidman was beautiful as always. Storywise, well it is a superhero movie after all so if you expect the story to be profound, logical and watertight you should lay off those mushrooms or whatever you are smoking.
With a vast army at his disposal, Orm plans to conquer the remaining oceanic people and then the surface world. The Atlantis guards are Power Rangers, the underwater fighter jets are from Star Wars, the battle with other underwater kingdoms looks like a battle from the Lord of the Rings, some personages are a version of the Street Sharks, even Godzila had a resurrection moment!. It's really worth the 2 hours of watching it as the pacing is really good. Modern comic book depictions have attempted to reconcile these various aspects of his public perception, casting Aquaman as serious and brooding, saddled with an ill reputation, and struggling to find a true role and purpose beyond his public side as a deposed king and a fallen hero. Not only does this adventure compel him to come to terms with his real identity, but it also forces him to discover whether he is entirely worthy of fulfilling his own destiny: becoming a king.
What's with the 10 out of 10 reviews? Would personally recommend you give it a go. Overral though, I wouldn't reccomend. Pretty straightforward and not too convoluted. The script writer had put some stupid shit in there where he had to play overly dumb at times but on the whole he was a good guy throughout the entire movie. There are lots of surprisingly good underwater battle scenes and oh my that battle with Black Manta kills it.
A lot of the underwater scenes are very pleasing on the eye indeed. They are pretty awesome throughout the movie and, as I wrote above, a lot of the time they are also beautiful. Some of the hype around it is perhaps a bit too much though. I did quite like the main protagonists on the good side. The various creatures, underwater vehicles and gadgets are really cool and well designed. As the rightful successor to the throne, he must tangle with his brother Orm Patrick Wilson to save the surface world from destruction. Especially Jason Momoa as Aquaman.
