Aquaman

Urgh. I bought this on DVD during a recent sally out to Tesco, and I rather wish I hadn't. It isn't very good. I can't put my finger on it, but the DC films in the main just aren't up to the standard of the Marvel rivals. There was a lot of posing and a lot of superficiality in Aquaman. The main baddie was identified right at the start of the film, then vanished for...um... probably half of the film, then reappeared with a super-baddie suit, but got destroyed almost immediately, never to be seen again. The fact that Aquaman's mum was dead was mentioned so many times that it was pretty obvious she was alive. Which she was. Perhaps the special effects looked better on a big screen, but some of them looked distinctly ropy on the TV. And Aquaman's strength seemed to vary depending on what danger he was facing (a problem with some other superheroes I could mention).
   Anyway: avoid.
