AQUAMAN (Theatrical Release USA 2018)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Aquaman—good concept—fails due to a weak storyline and acting that is not as good as it should be. The trailer shows Jason Momoa as casting well for this movie, but within the entire film he seems too high tech to establish realism. For the DC universe better entertainment choices are Batman Begins or The Dark Knight.
