Aquaman is a marvel of superhero cinema, packed with adrenaline-pumping action and stunning visual effects. It’s Indiana Jones, Black Panther, Avatar, and Pirates of the Caribbean all bundled into one family-friendly holiday movie. The protagonists and antagonists are all based on characters from the comic book. Without a doubt, one of the best films in the DCEU to date! Director James Wan has built a great world here, complete with stunning locales, strange and exciting marine creatures, and a cast of kickass characters! The cast in the picture is fantastic! The action is fantastic and a lot of fun.
Jason Momoa’s charismatic brute of a superhero elevates James Wan’s Aquaman to great cinematic heights. It’s an old school classic film with excellent graphics and a plot that made sense rather than just an action extravaganza. James Wan has created a superhero comic book that has been brought to life in gorgeous, vivid detail. To begin with, no other superhero film has ever looked like this one — the colours, visuals, and visual concepts are huge and bold, bright and magnificent, transporting us from complementing and contrasting surface-world areas to breathtaking undersea landscapes. From beginning to end, the screen is packed with interesting tidbits, Easter Eggs, and visual humour.
Cast
Aquaman’s development is solid, with some particularly serious, insightful self-awareness and self-criticism from Momoa. Atlanta, played by Nicole Kidman, is a superbly developed character with the strongest emotional expression. She crams a lot into a tiny number of scenes, but it’s a big story, and Kidman does an excellent job of bringing it all to life. Black Manta, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, is Aquaman’s most despised foe, and the film masterfully sets up their rivalry, giving Manta a single, clear motivation. He’s also one of the coolest-looking villains in comic books, and he’s now one of the coolest-looking villains in films.
Ocean Master by Patrick Wilson has a variety of causes and purposes, and they all work well together, though I would have liked to see a stronger emphasis on his sense of righteousness towards the harm posed by the surface world. King Nereus is played by DolphLundgren, and NuidisVulko is played by Willem Dafoe. Both actors give smart, restrained performances as dignified royalty forced to choose sides in an increasingly brutal and complicated conflict. However, the new Aquaman, Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Patrick Wilson, as well as some incredible staff members.
Spoiler alert!!
Amber Heard’s time as a character in James Wan’s upcoming sequel will reportedly be cut short. The bond between Jason Momoa’s title character and Patrick Wilson’s Orm appears to be a major emphasis of James Wan’s second DCEU film. We’ll have to wait and watch what kind of aquatic drama emerges.
Where to watch?
Once it is released, it will be available on Amazon, Disney+, HBO, and Hulu. The film Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is set to hit theatres on March 17th, 2023.
