Review of Aquaman (2018) by Glen P — 12 Jan 2019
Aquaman delivers a super hero movie in style of the 80s, with 21st century technology in terms of CGI, without taking itself too seriously and creating an incredibly fascinating underwater universe. Mamoa delivers as underdog maverick hero conflicted between saving the world and avoiding bloody family affaires.
It's great fun to watch and definitely big screen material. Thank you, DC, things are looking better. Aquaman is not delivering profound insights, but it is showing a muscle packed, goofy, fouriously figting hobby linguist who is saving the world because he's running out of options.
The female lead is suprisingly woke and empowered, not dodging all role clichées, but at least most of them.
