Spoiler alert! Don't exaggerate as I have warned you guys. Aquaman, possibly the best DC film after Wonder Woman. Little hope I had in this, since it was James Wan, the man who served us creepy, horrifying elements on screen, but taking on a whole new subject of his previous directions.
When it was almost showtime, I was the only one with the least excitement on face, meanwhile I had my nephews all hyped up to witness the hulking Bahubali wannabe on screen. I have to say, James Wan swept aside all my doubts at the end of the show. Such transition the man has in his direction skills, and to be able to serve such a DC delight, it was never surely an easy one to craft out as you're up dealing with one of DCs ultimate icon, Justice League's pride, AQUAMAN!
The opening few minutes of Aquaman are quite possibly its best, because that's how long director James Wan needed to set the tone of the film, and to differentiate his version from others.
This one, like any other cliché films, is about a hulking hero in search of a throne. Half human and half oceanic of its kind, Aquaman faces his worst nightmare, his own stepbrother, King Orm, who's also power-hungry and the part-time underwater kingdom ruler of Atlantis until Jason kicks him off the perch.
Jason and Amber's screen dominance is what saved the series from drowning, a little bit of screwball comedy added some spice to the film.
He is raised on the surface, a stone's throw from the ocean - two homes that he has never truly belonged to, or felt accepted by.
Crippled by abandonment issues - his mother left him when he was a child, with the promise that she'd return one day - and only just now discovering a purpose in his life (Aquaman is set about a year after the events of Justice League) Arthur is summoned to the deep by Mera, played by Amber Head.
I won't say it was entirely enjoyable, but it had enough intriguing elements any DC film should have, and an ending that promises a tail-biting series to follow.
