Being the night of the fat, red, comet that crashes into your chimneys and takes all the credit for the magic you created, I'll be brief.
All Star cast - Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman and basement favourite: Dolph Lungren!
This was beautiful to watch. Stunning. James Wan nailed a DC adaptation, of I'll be honest, one of what I believed was DC's lamest characters. Jason Mamoa is the only reason this worked. I'm glad he stuck with it.
This is a comic book adaptation of the origin story of Arthur Curry's rise to Atlantis' throne. It's nothing new for comic book or DC fans. Netflix ran the 2015 cartoon "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis". This movie was pretty close to that one - except for the first time - live action visuals squashed the cartoon version, by a zillion to one. Yes. Zillion. Deal with it.
I dug the shit out of this one. What a fun ride. It's easy to critique a beautiful looking movie and be pretentious. So...remember, before being hard on these films, they are comic books. That YOU don't have to read. They've come to life, for your lazy ass, and these performers kicked ass, in their roles.
I hope to see more H20 Bro. Fucking excellent.
Merry Christmas, basementites.
