Aquaman

— Hmmm. This film is in its own superhero category and that’s not really a good thing. There’s more effect and less substance than even the fluffiest of superhero films, and that’s saying something. It’s kind of like “The Little Mermaid” on acid. Or maybe LSD. Certainly steroids. True, there’s something interesting about the seriousness with which the action unfolds underwater with all types of sea creatures, real and imagined, life-size and ultra-size, zipping to the tune of a royal drummer. It’s among the bottom rung of DC cinematic universe and probably not worth viewing. Poor Nicole Kidman; how did she end up in this mess?
