Aquaman Movie Review 2018

Hello, Maders! Have you watched Aquaman? It’s about Arthur Curry, the member of Justice League in DC Comics. He is the king of Atlantis and master of the ocean. He looks muscular and serious, but he has a sense of humor. Anyway, I watched this movie alone, surrounded by couples. I played Rubik’s cube before the movie played.

So, I’m going to discuss a few things in Aquaman scenes. The story starts from how Arthur’s parents meet. His mom is the queen of Atlantis, and his dad is the lighthouse keeper. Then, Arthur comes to earth. Arthur is different (special) because he’s mix-blood and half-breed, the son of the land, the king of the sea.

The conflict begins when Orm (Arthur’s step brother) recruits other underwater kingdoms to attack the land. The sea gets polluted because of human, so Orm wants to have a revenge. Here, Arthur wants to stop Orm because killing human won’t solve the problem. Arthur must defeat Orm in a battle. The only way to win it is by using King Atlan’s trident. Arthur gets a help from Mera, Orm’s fiancé, for the journey of finding the golden trident.

Mera looks like Ariel, the Disney mermaid. She has bright red long hair and a beautiful face. Nevertheless, she swims with normal feet like human. Arthur and Mera can breath underwater or in the surface, every royal family can do so. The father of Mera is the actor named Dolph Lundgren. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! He’s old but charming. OMG! I’ve loved him before this.

The phrase “so be it” has been spoken many times in this movie. I noticed it. Aquaman has a new enemy here, Black Manta, and he looks like ‘Ksatria Baja Hitam’. Just wait for it. Moreover, the palace of Atlantis before it’s drowned is just the same with the cartoon of Atlantis (led by Queen Kidagakash) I watched years ago. 

This film has funny moments. One of which is when Mera eats roses. Another is when Atlantian buries his face on toilet. He needs water because he can’t breath on the land. But he has no idea if it’s the place for pooping. On the other hand, there are touching moments on Arthur parents’ parting and meeting again. I cried twice on these scenes! Hahaha.

Aquaman is very recommended to watch for those who love fantasy. The adventure of Arthur Curry is amazing. There are many fighting scenes and unique underwater creatures, scary but attractive. I always watch DC and Marvel movies because I love superheroes. Well, that’s all for the review. Happy watching Aquaman, Maders!
