I found the film painfully predictable with no twists or surprises. It was obvious from the beginning that the rematch would be on dry ground before aqua man had even started the challenge in the ring of fire.
That said the CGI was breathtaking. The world which we were immersed into was trulyl outstanding.
The fight scenes were fun and entertaining. But fights and visuals can't replace story, character development, twists and genuinely good acting, all of which were lacking in this film. I love Jason Mamoa, just not in this. The 'hollywood' ending was just too much!
I wouldn't have walked out of the cinema, but i also wouldn't watch the film a second time. 3.5 out of five, and that's only due to the great CGI world they created which reminded me of an underwater version of Avatar.
