Aquaman – Film Review by Fran Winston

Directed by: James Wan
Starring: Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Kidman

In cinemas December 12th

Although this is Aquaman’s first standalone movie it is actually leading man Jason Momoa’s third outing as the aquatic superhero. He has previously appeared in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017). Now fans finally get to see his origin story on the big screen.

Bringing this story to life was always going to be something of a big ask as – just like the title suggests – much of the action is set underwater in the land of Atlantis. Perhaps that is why it has taken till now for it to get the cinematic treatment as CGI and effects are at such a sophisticated level that it can be done convincingly rather than cheesily.
