Aquaman (2018)

[The Q]

Just saw it last night.

Totally not interested as I watched it. Granted, I was doing some other things as I watched, but that was because I was continually rolling my eyes while watching.

Why introduce Black Mantis just to end him right away? Then dedicate the only post-credit scene to him? And did I miss the explanation of who he actually is and why he was particularly pissed at AM at the start? It seemed like they were trying to make him semi-sympathetic at the beginning.

I understand a movie that’s place under water for 40% of the time needs to be at least 40% CGI, but it still FELT heavy handed. Nothing specific I can put my finger on, though, so this gripe may be biased-piling on.

It was not as bad as other DC movies, so I guess there is that. So I suppose I will give it about a 4/10.

The sub was supposed to explain it.

He didn’t save his father.

I get that. But they alluded to a previous history.

I also don’t think manta is dead.

I’m betting the farm he’s the bad guy in AM2.


And this was absolutely better than WW.

He was the focus of the post-credit scene. The Atlantisconspiracy guy from the news casts found him.
