Henry Cavill is the Superman; Jason Momoa is the Aquaman, period. Even after 5 years since it's release, Aquaman is still Entertaining as it was in 2018. Kudos to Director James Wan and the rest of the crew for making a spectacular film.
First of all, Thanks to Costume Designer Kym Barrett for nailing it with Aquaman's Suit. The Orange/Green suit looks so authentic and comic accurate, yet doesn't look ridiculous in any angle or shot. Always wondered how this traditional Aquaman suit could be brought to Live Action without looking like a Cosplayer and Designer Kym has proved otherwise. Not just for Aquaman, even the costumes for Orm, Mera & rest of crew are top notch. The atlantean army suits are so stylish and authentic looking.
Casting is upto the point. Jason Momoa owns Aquaman. Hope the new DC management doesn't replace him. Amber Heard as Mera and Patrick Wilson as Orm did a commendable performance.
Cinematographer Don Burgess, Production Designer Bill Brzeski and of course the Director of the film James Wan have created a visually spectacular underwater world. I could just simply keep looking at all the underwater shots again and again. I wish they show more of Atlantis and its people in the sequel. The Action scenes (both above and below sea level) are top notch. The stunts are good but the way they have been Captured by Don Burgess is awesome. The overall look of the film is even more enhanced by the electrifying music of Rupert Gregson Williams.
The only drawback is the screenplay. It follows a typical Hero's Journey in a Three act Structure. The screenplay is coherent and adequate yet predictable. The dialogues are bit cheesy and mediocre. There's nothing new or extraordinary here.
Overall, Aquaman is a visual spectacle with a stellar crew and adequate screenplay.
