January Movie Review: Aquaman

Junior Bailey Deaver and senior Taylor Everett recently reviewed the latest DC Comics creation, “Aquaman”. The film follows Aquaman, the main character’s journey to retrieve the legendary trident of ‘Atlan’ , as well as dethrone his half-brother King Orm. The movie stars actor Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Amber Heard as Mera, and Nicole Kidman as Queen Atlanna.

Deaver rated the movie a 4/10, finding the plot to be too similar to other well-known comic-based movies, and felt that overall, lacked the creativity a superhero movie should include.

Everett, however, found the movie to be a great addition to the DC Comics fan based genre, complete with stunning action shots and extraordinary special effects, rating the movie a stellar 9/10.

Overall, both Deaver and Everett found the movie to be a must-see for anyone who is a fan of the superhero universe.
