Notwithstanding the inevitable formulaic dialogue and a superabundance of boilerplate superhero action sequences, "Aquaman" turns out to be, almost despite itself, an engaging undersea extravaganza
Jason Momoa's surf-bro superhero is a welcome addition to a ponderous genre, but his movie as a whole is waterlogged; 'Aquaman' is more seawater than bongwater, unfortunately, but when it gets trippy, it floats within hailing distance of 'Doctor Strange'
Jason Momoa takes every inch of space the film gives him and runs a mile on sheer roguish charm, and James Wan is a sufficiently gifted action director not just to keep you watching but to regularly dazzle you
it's not a good movie per se, featuring risible dialogue, acting, plot, story, intention..but it can be at times, undeniably entertaining, and at the very least, never ever dull
it's a nonstop rollercoaster ride of heart-pounding action, eye-popping visual spectacle, and all-around crowd-pleasing blockbuster entertainment that is insanely enjoyable to watch
Aquaman's as formulaic, excessively thrashy, and mommy-obsessed as any other entry in the DCEU, but its visual imagination is genuinely exciting and transportive, and dare I say, fun.. you wont be disappointed
a star turn for Momoa, who leads the ridiculousness of this anarchic, campy superhero outing with serious energy and charm. Another promising move for the DCEU
