Man, talk about a movie that had so much wrong with it


First off the anti-aging CGI was HORRIBLE....Marvel does it so convincingly you can hardly tell but DC can't do it better than Marvel did in Ant-Man 3 years earlier? Several times I could tell Aquaman's dad was off because his eye positions were crooked on his head!

The submarine attack scene was a joke, I kept waiting for the sub to implode from the hull breach and it never happened.

The rooftop chase scene was so cliche' it wasn't funny, were the guys chasing the heroes extras from the A-Team? Worst aim EVER.

Guy has a statue dropped on him, Aquaman lifts it up and the guy runs away like he never got a single scratch on him and is ready to run a marathon.

The explosions EVERY SINGLE TIME something dramatic was about to happen...when Aquaman was reaching for the trident I leaned over and said to my wife "here comes the explosion"...I was disappointed when it didn't happen.

The cheesy over the top constant superhero landings with the long pauses.

Was expecting to hear Hammond saying "Welcome...to Jurassic Park" when they showed the first shot of the center of the earth world.

So many locations it made your head spin and almost all of them were "Somewhere in the (insert location here)"

Miles Dyson survived Terminator 2, comes back with his son and blows himself up again.

The music video interludes (we got enough of that with GOTG2, at least they played classic songs for it)

Overall the movie was ok...6/10....there's just something missing from these movies that is in the Marvel movies..DC did it mostly right with Wonder Woman and Man of Steel.

I enjoyed the rooftop fight/chase scene very much but the rest of the whole CGI extravaganza wasn't that impressive. I'm just tired of overdone CGI. Maybe it was a good movie but just not for me. IDK.

Mediocre even for overrated super hero film standards. I like Jason Mamoa & he makes the most out of what he's given which is to say not a whole lot. The female lead was bland and forgettable. Generic, uncompelling villains. Most of the CGI wasn't convincing & overall it just felt like a bland, by the numbers super hero movie.
