Aquaman

DC continues it's now characteristic downward spiral trajectory with a movie I certainly thought never thought would ever be made, in Aquaman.  The best feature of this film are the special effects. That's about all I got here. It's very campy and that's no surprise from his introduction in Justice League.  But it's just really uninteresting and the politics of how he ascends.....Well, you just don't give a fuck, as it feel like it's being just glossed over and with wooden acting.  Part of the problem is that most of the story takes place after the events of Justice League and this rather inmature Aquaman played by Jason Momoa, is just a bit too much to take seriously.  Aquaman also feels like a thinly veiled copy and paste of events and scenes in other films like Wonder Woman and most recently, Thor Ragnorok.  I understand the integral nature of the film to the rest of the DC universe and they squandered much in the Green Lantern movie (may that memory quickly fade), but damnit DC.  Another Wonder Woman movie just needs to take the reigns again.
