Review of Aquaman (2018) by Francesco F — 20 Jan 2019
In my opinion, itï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s quite a mess. Trash and cringe scenes from the very beginning, the soundtrack is awful (never heard and thought possible that such a shameful cover of Totoï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s Africa could exist), characters donï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t have an evoulution throughout the movie, costumes are ridiculous (and are the demonstration that comic books accuracy does not alway works well on a live action movie).
Even though the visuals are evocative, to me (maybe it was only my problem), green screens were quite ï¿ 1/2 1/2noticeableï¿ 1/2 1/2ï¿ 1/2?. As Italian from the south of the country I truly hated the stereotypical representation this movie offers.
The only few links with previous movies create problems in terms of continuity. In the end, the only elements I truly appreciated were a scene filled with an horror vibe and another one involving Mera.
This movie does not hold a candle to Wonder Woman, that still remains the best movie of this disastrous shared universe.
