Review of Aquaman (2018) by Captassferret — 28 Jan 2019

As an avid movie goer I am insulted that the studio even put this movie out. There is absolutely no way the director and producer have ever seen an actual movie and Jason Mamoa should be ashamed to have put his name on this. I walked out of the theater after 30 minutes and told the manager they have a duty to not allow guests to spend their money on this movie. As to what caused me to walk out? Here's some of the details...... SPOILERS AHEAD.....

The movie begins as an awful throwback to Falcon Crest type soap format with Nicole Kidman CGI'd to look young and as hard as it was to make it through this first part I was hoping the action would at least make up for it. Not the case. Jump to Aquaman jumping on board a Russian (yes Russian) submarine and the scene couldn't have been more of an intro to a gay porn where he lands, swishes his hair back, close up on face, steam in the back ground, and looks at the camera and says "Permission to come aboard?".

Seriously? The following scenes where the actors are trying to fight/shoot/struggle at whatever the antogonist is were painful to watch. Broken editing, poor camera angles, poor sound editing and music. Its just the worst. When I found myself wishing I was watching a Nicolas Cage movie that was when I told my girlfriend we're walking out. This is one of the worst films I have seen since Baywatch and its even worse than that.
