Oh I agree. I could tell from the trailers the movie wasn't going to be that great. Also because of all the other D.C let downs.I think the high praise given to Aquaman had my expectations to high for the movie. Really did not like it. Bad acting, not that interesting of a character or story in my opinion. DC has a LONG way to go before getting anywhere near the enjoyment I get from a Marvel movie and honestly not sure they can do it right now. The DC heroes are just not that interesting.
The directing was very cartoonish, very zippy and flashy, with nothing to feel like it had any emotional or visual weight to it. Just jumping to scene to scene. Yeah the acting as very average. Plus the marketing of these movies has been kicking into overdrive blasting you with how great it is, even before it hits the movie theaters, and with fake reviews. All the initial reviews praising the movie is a 10 outta 10... umm this is no Godfather movie.
The D.C hero's may seem that way (I have always been a Marvel person) but I think they haven't found the right story tellers and directors. Christopher Nolan did really well with Batman Begins.
