Like its hero, it's the kind of film that surveys the strangeness in front of it, flashes a smile, and dives right in. And if it stays in the water a bit too long—well, I'd still come back for a sequel."
Critics like Mashable's Angie Han concede that Aquaman isn't without its barnacles, but contend the flick is at least worth the price of admission. Others are denouncing the DC Comics' tentpole as an irrefutable, outright flop.
The Jason Momoa and Amber Heard-starring adventure tackles the origin story of the Justice League's trident-wielding hero, taking viewers into the seven kingdoms of Atlantis and entrenching them in ocean-dwelling politics.

I will pass on Rob Zombie's Aquaman.
We want critics to almost universally pan nerd movies, as thats the only way to know they are both wee crafted and opposed to socialism.
I’ll watch this movie when I’m able to rent it for less than $5, just because I like super-hero films.
I’m more interested in films like Incredibles 2, Logan, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Black Panther, none of which I’ve seen yet.
That looks amazing, no pun intended. I can’t figure out the animation style, computer, traditional, 3-D. this will beat DC’s cartoons and that’s the only thing they do better than Marvel.

So she will pay her own money to see it again?
Someone who eats for free telling me the cost is worth it isn’t saying much.
I’d take critics seriously if they didn’t say Black Panther was the greatest film of the 21st century. At a certain point you just stop listening to them. I like James Wan movie so i’ll probably check Aquaman at some point when Its on Netflix
America needs to grow up.

I took my kids to see “Wreck it Ralph 2: Ralph Wrecks the Internet”
The wife and kids liked it, at least. I thought it a snooze-fest, when it wasn’t actively annoying.
Latest wreck it movie flat out stunk... predictable, boring, no heart at all...
Don’t waste your time on Black Panther...
It’s beyond stupid...
Don’t bet on it, Jason Mamoa alone will have every mother with a son dragging him to it.
I have little hope for that now.
Jason Mamoa looks like that. He played a hunky wilderness guy in one of the Stargate series as well.
I’ve heard it’s a great movie.
