It wasn&#8217;t as bad as I expected. Of course, I was surprised by Amber Heard&#8217;s screen time given the controversy that has happened in the court between Amber and Johnny Depp. I guess they started filming before all that began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as I like Jason Mamoa, I find his acting terrible. Whatever personality he was trying to pull in this movie feels extremely fake. Bluntly put, it&#8217;s like watching a knucklehead parading himself as the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His acting makes Amber&#8217;s acting decent in comparison, and her acting is also terrible. The impression I got from the movie was Amber is more powerful than Aquaman, even though that&#8217;s not supposed to be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The saving grace of this movie was the endearing and funny interactions between Aquaman and his brother. The logic of some scenes is also questionable, but since it&#8217;s a superhero movie, I&#8217;ll let it slide. The graphics are pretty nice. Plot-wise, leave your brain at the entrance and just enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie&#8217;s about 2 hours long and filled with water, so prep for the bathroom before watching \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verdict: 3\/5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had low expectations for this movie given the overall bad reviews I saw before watching.
