Absolutely stunning movie. I’ve never been much of a fan of any DC hero movie simply because they just don’t draw me in enough either it be story, cinematography or visual, the last Superman vs Batman and justice league were just very vague and just not movies that just made you think “wow” the whole time.
Aquaman on the other hand was incredibly stunning, now this is subjective and I’m purely speaking out of what I think myself, but the CGI in this movie was incredible, it seemed extremely well done, and I may say it was used quite a lot, I mean a lot of the movie had to be massively CGI especially considering it’s based nearly entirely under water for a whole chunk of the movie; now you may think that too much CGI would be bad, but I would say otherwise, the cinematography in this film was done so in a way mixed with the fantastic CGI so kinda say “well f*** you marvel” and I can truely say as some one who has loved marvel all so much over DC for years on years they have truely done that well, the fighting scenes and overall ‘action’ scenes were generally done very well and as for some one who enjoys these type of scenes I can definitely say In the whole run time of this film there was far much more of it then say the almighty avengers: Infinity war. Yeah I did just say that, and I mean it, although the story was definitely not explained or shown to it’s full extent I’m thorough detail as much as infinity war it still did a hella of a good job to show its visuals, animations and cinematography to those who enjoy action packed films.
The acting of the lead characters were pretty spot on, nothing incredible but you’d have to be pretty sour and opinionated in a negative light to say the acting was anywhere near bad. The story as I said above wasn’t explained to its fullest and some could say “oh all they did was try to cram in as much as they could to try catch up to marvel” and all I have to say is yeah, they kinda did do that but not to the point where you’re sitting there like “huh what’s happening”. It does it so in a way which gives in enough juice and detail to explain the main plot of the story whilst not sacrificing juicy prime time events and battles.
All in all I think aquaman is an extremely incredible movie, it is long but it is so worth the watch, I honestly didn’t expect to see much of anything going to watch this film but I can honestly say I would rather this film over the all so famous infinity war that is in super hero appraisal. If I could classify this movie to what it would be like is simply guardians of the galaxy tinge of humour with the same exact gorgeous visuals as guardians of the galaxy, and Thor ragnarak but with all much more action and fighting screen time. Yeah I know I state how much action is going on, cause heck, it’s freaking awesome and worth the watch if that’s what you enjoy!
