Once home to the most advanced civilization on Earth, the city of Atlantis is now an underwater kingdom ruled by the power-hungry King Orm. With a vast army at his disposal, Orm plans to conquer the remaining oceanic people -- and then the surface world. Standing in his way is Aquaman, Orm's half-human, half-Atlantean brother and true heir to the throne. With help from royal counselor Vulko, Aquaman must retrieve the legendary Trident of Atlan and embrace his destiny as protector of the deep.

Critics Consensus

Aquaman swims with its entertainingly ludicrous tide, offering up CGI superhero spectacle that delivers energetic action with an emphasis on good old-fashioned fun.

The dumb parts of the movie are the best parts of the movie. I wish it had leaned into being more dumb.

2/5

Aquaman isn’t all bad, and you could never accuse it of playing it safe. But Wan’s bloated, over-long film is nowhere near as fun as its maddest moments might suggest, and the connective tissue is dreary, dull, and unrelentingly naff.

B-minus

It’s a comic-fantasy that gets a passing grade, but not a high one. What’s weird is that is actually a high score for the Warner Brothers brand of comic-book movies.

Aquaman has some truly original imagery and a matching score to boot. If only the writing had been as imaginative.

Although the movie has an epic conclusion, the journey to it can get boring at times.

So glad I waited for the DVD, would hate to think I wasted my money and time on this film in the theatre. I did enjoy a nice snooze though.

This movie was so bad it hurt. The dialogue was that you hear from video games. The backstory segments were so awkward, the graphics were tacky and the lead was trying is hard to be charming but it did not translate. I wanted to walk out 10 minutes in but stayed for the whole thing. I wish I could have those 2 hours back. It was awful.

Terrible. Everything about it from start to finish was predictable yet also confusing.

A lot of work for a poor end product. The CGI was ridiculously distracting and the plot was painful.
