Aquaman

Was pleasantly surprised with this movie. This is the first movie in the DC universe to finally shed the “gritty” overtones, and embrace a lighter palette: both visually and tonally. The visuals in particular are finally brighter, and the world of Atlantis, though under water, is a beauty to behold. In the hands of a lesser director and lesser actors, this movie could have really gone wrong. However, everyone embraces the lighter drama, and runs with it for better or worse. Thankfully for DC, it was finally for the better.

Rating: 4.5/5
