Review of Aquaman (2018) by Steven V — 19 Jan 2019
It's as if director James Wan said, "This is Aquaman, this is a comic book film. Fuck you! We're making a big fun crazy bonkers fantasy epic! It should be crazy! Whether you like it or not, we don't give a fuck!" And I respect the hell out of him for it.
Is the plot predictable and by-the-numbers? Sure. Were there some cringe-worthy lines here and there? Sure. Is the film overblown and overlong to a fault? Sure. Were the music choices really odd? Sure. But everyone makes it work because they know what kind of weird film they're making. Not a flawless film by any means, but it is a damn fun time. See this event on the big screen! It's not to be missed.
