Review of Aquaman (2006) by Clyde S — 28 Dec 2010
As Aquaman being my favorite superhero, I would love to have a show featuring him. Maybe somebody there will be a an Aquaman show but for now we have to settle for this.
I was skeptical at first about an Aquaman show but after watching this pilot I changed my mind about it. Justin Hartley is really good as Orin/Arthur Curry/Aquaman butAlan Ritchson who currently plays him on Smallville is better. Siren is played by the incredibly hot Adrianna Palicki. Lou Diamond Phillips is good as Orin's surrogate father. Ving Rhames plays McCaffrey a fellow Atlantean who is still loyal Orin and his parents.
For a pilot it actually has a decent story. It basically deals with Orin's origins and how he came to the surface world.
The underwater effects are really good and look as if they spent some money on making them look good. The effects do look better than most of the effects on Smallville. We don't get to see Aquaman's classic costume so there isn't much I can say about costumes.
