It’s a comic-fantasy that gets a passing grade, but not a high one. What’s weird is that is actually a high score for the Warner Brothers brand of comic-book movies. Go to Full Review

Aquaman has some truly original imagery and a matching score to boot. If only the writing had been as imaginative. Go to Full Review

Aquaman is the fun action-packed, adventure movie we’ve sorely been needing from the DCEU. I’m happy with how they developed the character and hope to see more of him. I highly recommend you see this on the big screen. Go to Full Review

Haley D May 13 Hate the girl in it she sucks See more Kayla M May 10 A lot of cgi but good to watch See more Robert May 3 The special effects was awesome See more Sherry M 01/25/2024 I like the special effects. The plot was a little weak. See more David H 04/01/2022 I actually slept through a lot of it. I was suffocating from the overwhelming amount of awful acting and cliche riddled dialogue. The score was also repetitive anticlimactic. Basically don't bother watching unless its free and you have nothing else to do. See more Angel cs 03/05/2022 Great movie, Amazing effects See more Read all reviews
