‘Aquaman’ Review: James Wan Can’t Salvage a Wannabe ‘Thor’ Movie
Eric Kohn December 11, 2018 2:00PM EST


Aquaman Jason Momoa
With the exception of “Wonder Woman” and “The Dark Knight Rises,” every DC movie of the past decade has suffered Marvel Imitation Syndrome. This unique corporate malady takes a successful formula, darkens the frame, and deadens the story, under the assumption that audiences won’t notice. By those standards, James Wan’s “Aquaman” is a cut above: The “Conjuring” filmmaker abandons the witless mess of “Justice League” to craft a colorful, vibrant ocean fantasy, but the considerable effort to improve on a leaden franchise can only float for so long before familiar baggage sinks its potential. Hobbled by a messy screenplay, paper-thin characters, and a hodgepodge of unimaginative showdowns stretched across bloated running time, “Aquaman” is the latest example of a franchise that keeps chasing its competitor’s tail.


Whereas “Justice League” was a feeble attempt to deliver the DC answer to “The Avengers,” Wan’s “Aquaman” imitates Marvel’s “Thor” to an embarrassing degree. Ironically, the half-man, half-aquatic being predates the Norse god in the comic books by some 20 years, but in cinematic terms, this brawny superhero is late to the party. Both movies revolve around a comically muscular man whose attachments to another world complicate his priorities; they both possess evil, power-hungry siblings who force a battle over the rightful heir to their throne, and they’re both forced to contend with a kingdom that works out its problems in a gladiatorial ring. Change a few names and locations in the plot synopsis, and “Aquaman” could have been a “Thor” reboot.” Instead, it’s a maritime riff on the same old song.

Yet “Aquaman” shows glimmers of hope throughout, with visual panache and one of the greatest openings these movies have to offer. The prologue delivers a gothic origin story set on the Maine coast, where a humble lighthouse keeper (Temura Morrison) encounters Atlanna (Nicole Kidman), the princess of Atlantis, washing up on his shore after she’s escaped an arranged marriage in her antiquated underwater kingdom. Once he nurses her back to health, she decides to stick around, and soon they have a newborn child. All is well until Atlantis’ military forces show up, threatening this tranquil seaside union and forcing Atlanna to return home — but not before she unleashes some dizzying martial arts maneuvers against the underwater agents that invade their home. Watching Kidman kick ass for a few minutes makes a good enough case for an Atlanna standalone movie, but “Aquaman” has other priorities.



The couple’s interspecies offspring, Arthur Curry, grows up gradually learning of his abilities: in a fleeting scene from his childhood, his ability to communicate with a shark at the local aquarium deflects human bullies to comedic effect. In later flashbacks, it’s revealed that Atlantean warrior Vulko (Willem Dafoe, collecting a paycheck) trained Arthur to hone his various abilities throughout his youth. Mostly, that means he can swim with gusto, talk underwater, and twirl a pitchfork while making spiffy patterns out of the waves. Wan captures these scenes with a genuine storybook quality, but once Aquaman leaps into action, the story treads water.


The sprawling narrative splits its time between a revenge-prone bad guy dubbed Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) intent on killing Aquaman to avenge his pirate father, and Aquaman’s greedy half-brother, King Orm (Patrick Wilson, blond and glowing with an exuberant fashion sense right out of “Zoolander”). Orm wants to wage a war against humanity for destroying the undersea ecosystem. Unfortunately, the modicum of eco-friendly messaging baked into this motive is muddied by his inane monologues about becoming “Oceanmaster” and a desire to battle Aquaman in Atlantis’ ludicrous “Ring of Fire.”

Arthur’s recruited to stop his sibling by Mera (Amber Heard), the would-be queen of Atlantis who sees a better future in Aquaman’s uncertain hands. The screenplay, credited to David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Will Beall, makes a feeble attempt to transform the instant chemistry between Aquaman and Mera into romcom material, but Heard’s entire performance has been reduced to eye-rolls and smirks to fill in the gaps between various chapters in Aquaman’s journey.

As for Momoa himself, the actor simply lacks the material to turn the character into much more than a heavy metal punchline. Regularly gazing over his shoulder as his flowing hair makes room for his eyes, he looks as though he’s perpetually auditioning for an AXE Body Spray campaign targeting Navy SEALs. The “Thor” movies eventually understood the opportunity to have fun with this kind of virile caricature, but Momoa never becomes much more than a muscular placeholder, and a distorted guitar riff that underscores closeups of his serious stare doesn’t do him any favors.

At times, “Aquaman” contains the hints of a visionary blockbuster: From giant sea creatures swirling through open blue vistas to Dafoe riding a giant hammerhead shark, the film doesn’t lack for ways of transforming the ocean into a delectable universe. But its default mode is paint-by-the-numbers action: By the time King Orm chases Aquaman and Mera out of Atlantis in a giant undersea vehicle, it feels like we’ve been there a dozen times before. One standout bit finds Aquaman and Mera in a late-night battle with reptilian monstrosities in the middle of the ocean, but it comes on the heels of the movie’s worst passage — an inane interlude that places them in Da Vinci Code mode, wandering the Sahara Desert in search of an ancient artifact.


Instead of making one “Aquaman” movie, Wan has made three or four, spinning the wheel and changing modes whenever one idea dries up.

A lot of “Aquaman” suffers from logic gaps, even on its own slippery terms: How come Mera can breathe oxygen, but other Atlanteans can’t? Why does a normal flare work underwater? How on earth does a gun transform water into beams of “energized plasma”? Audiences keen on pure escapism won’t bother with such distracting quandaries, but they reflect the lack of care for developing a fully realized world. As with much about the DC universe, the whole thing is hobbled by carelessness, which might not hurt box office receipts but certainly doesn’t ensure the long-term appeal of the brand.

Wan clearly put sizable effort into mining a few gratifying moments from the bland rubble of “Justice League.” The cynical, hard-drinking muscleman actually seems like a compelling idea for modern times. As a protector of the Earth’s most fragile environment, he’s the ultimate fearsome rejoinder to the characterization of climate change as a puny liberal ideal. In a better world, “Aquaman” would excel at delivering an ecological message to the masses. But all the fish in the sea can’t salvage a movie that refuses to go more than surface deep.

Grade: C

Warner Bros. will release “Aquaman” nationwide on Friday, December 21.

They lost me at "...ran from the underworld", I honestly stopped reading after that.

underworld, a city under the sea is the underworld


I purposely didn't call it alantis, cause they didn't do justice to that name

Nova15:
It's clear that you didn't watch the movie.

what did I say that didn't happen in the movie?


Didn't they say that his mother was dead then plot twist it to her being alive at one remote location


They even hid her face, trying to build suspense we know how lazy DC is, the moment I saw those legs I knew


The back story of alantis is stupid, they could do so much with the world they created under the sea

Fishermen, he killed their King in front of the family and they family joined

Abeg the film is a stupid, film, DC Should give it a rest

DCEU where was badman and co when someone was turning the sea upside down? What timeline does Aquaman fall in the DCEU?

All these roaches mentioning because I said the truth about Aquaman

2mins read rant loading

The queen ran from the underworld and came to Bleep a mortal, the king sent people to hunt her, till she agreed to return home, she went, the king left her bastard son alone they have another son and somehow the boy is a mad, for no reason, no explanation of why the boy is mad, the half mortal bro aka Hercules is forming hero among people, meanwhile his brother ignores him, not even making one attempt to kill him, then one girl that looks like a stripper without her pole, appears and begs him to return that he is the true leader and he needs to save the world, even lion king had such a plot, that's how old that plot is, at first like Simba, he refuses, then the girl goes and leaves him, then something happens and he returns, his brother didn't kill him, instead chose to fight him, the brother beats him, he is saved by the girl and they run away, they send warriors to find the girl, noolywood plot

side plot, he saved some Russians sailors in their submarine, didn't know that he was in Russia in the film, they presented his location as America, make I no even talk about the nonsense they did in those submarine scenes, sailors will go and hide inside a room? Abegii,


I never finish ooo

The same submarine that someone blew up and we saw one of the villains leave, is the same submarine used to attack the underworld bia plot holes left and right


Then they go after a special weapon mulan things, plot twist, the boys mother is alive, zeeworld plot twist


Then he goes back, when the final battle is happening and saves the day and unites everyone lion king part 2 plot

He fights the bro again and this time wins, I can write the names of 1million films with that same plot

I can Write from now till tomorrow about many nonsenses in the film, people just want DC to succeed, that's why they are turning a blind eye, that film is so useless I wouldn't watch it ever again


Revised rating 2/10. 2 is because I liked the strippers tight ass

Who be this spider?

It can on only be an igbo man writing this nonsense

Police dey enjoy oooo

Being hypocrites is rooted in their dna

watched the aquaman, hype and overrated nonsense, same action movie theme, hero refuses to go home, gets the villains girl and decides to go home in the end to save the world we are tired of stories like this

my ratings 5/10 the visuals is the only good thing about the movie


watched bird box, the most annoying thing about the movie, is there is no explanation of why and who the aliens are, they used the blindfolded kids to make the movie interesting and scary, the time the girl left the boat, when someone dragged her, i thought that it was the aliens and i would finally get some context well it was an ok movie, i wouldn't watch it again sha but its good for guest, makes the girl want to hold you netflicks and chill


my ratings 7/10


lionheart, this one pained me the most, all the hype i said ok, let me watch it rubbish nonsense, deleted jargon , the way i hissed when it was done eh, after deleting it, i went to recycle bin to depose the nonsense completely, chai, i havent seen a stupid film like that film in my life


who else knew at that airport scene that the man osoufia saved was the man they were going to see at kano son? asin eh, wasnt creative at all, stupid film with plenty rubbish plots, wonder who madam sucked to get netflicks to buy that pointless nonsense


my rating 2/10 2 is because of madam, good to see a fine girl with light makeup, not all these taracota things that we have nowadays

Ladies and gentlemen




It's about to go down in this motherffucking thread

1 million plus you and the finest girl in your village


i will still say no

PDP trademark doings


once you see fake news, just know the source

PDP be like chameleon that doesnt know that it has lost its skin


it still thinks that its invisible

you thank the EU didnt know that we were still colonized


all these pdp hypocrites, apc is not a party of saints but compared to pdp, apc dey learn work for corrupt practices and law breaking


Onnoghen, for pdp to be going on and on for your matter, clearly shows that you have been compromised, only a fool will think that pdp actually cares about democracy, i think that their plan was atiku wouldnt be able to win the election directly, so there will be tribunals and onnoghen will swing things their way, buhari has blocked that angle and they are all confused and ranting, calling God, EU, US, iraq and gambia to come to their aid


even remo has stopped dropping mixtapes

just think about this, why would a party suspend campaign 2 weeks to the election over a judge? you dont have to support APC or PDP to know the truth


speaking of the legality of his suspension, na nigeria we dey, even when people are caught they dont admit that they are wrong, they will be claiming right, onnoghen doesnt have any excuse, he should have resigned since but pdp needed him to stay at least till after election, so he suspended NJC and felt that he is safe for now, guy man doesnt know that buhari no send anybody

............................................................................................................................................................................................................
