re: #30 Eclectic Cyborg
My wife and I went to see Aquaman this afternoon and I feel the same about it.
The Aqua-plot was recycled from countless sources. Illegitimate son of exiled princess must return to his homeland to challenge his megalomaniac younger half-brother for the throne and become the rightful king. Stitched onto that was a separate subplot dealing with another man’s vengeance for the illegitimate son letting the man’s father die. Then there was a melee and lots of CGI.
The CGI was about the only thing the ancient Greeks did not have as plot devices.
Still, it was not a bad movie. Just not up to Wonder Woman standards.
