Aquaman is an action-packed movie with a very original plot (compared to other movies, although it’s obviously based on the much older DC comics).
It’s quite consistently entertaining, for well over two hours. A slight downside is the ignorant pride-driven war mentality pushed at times in this movie, but to its credit, it offers somewhat of a counter approach in the way Aquaman shows mercy and aims for peace from time to time (just a shame he still gets stuck into the ignorant warrior approach sometimes).
The sound effects, visual special effects, camerawork and general cinematography is of a fine standard, making for some epic scenes including several that are quite emotionally powerful and get the adrenaline buzzing. In these ways, I rate this movie similar to Thor as well as Black Adam, which are on a similar level with their own pros and cons that balance them out about equal to this one in the end.
