I never really loved this movie. The plot is decent, but Aquaman is already a hard sell. Jason Mamoa is rad but he is similar to The Rock in that he can play funny and badass only. Amber Heard honestly kinda sucks on her part. The visual effects also bugged me the whole movie. Sometimes there were shots that were gorgeous. Other times it was like watching a Playstation 3 cutscene. There were even a couple of scenes I noticed the blue hue of the blue screen. It’s not a terrible movie by any means, but it just really isn’t for me. This could definitely be a favorite for some people out there.
