Review of Aquaman (2018) by Thegldt — 21 Dec 2018
Chock-full of expositional dialogue, Aquaman treats its audience as if they are idiots who only seek CGI spectacle and money shots of heroes coming out of waterfalls. I wish they knew how to treat audiences with some respect and got creative with how they execute an origin story.
Aquaman, to its detriment, never lets up. It barely lets you breathe (pun intended) by bursting a villain and drowning you in one action sequence after another. Our superhero movie fatigue is exacerbated by Aquaman.
It is through-and-through a popcorn movie. If you're looking for something that's pushing the genre and artform forward, I suggest you go see Spider-Verse.
