I saw Aquaman tonight. It seems to be doing well internationally so I thought I’d give it a shot, plus I’m an AMC A-List subscriber so there was no real risk going to see it. Lately the Rotten Tomatoes score for the movie seems to be falling though and now I can see why.
Aquaman suffers from many of the same problems that other D.C. films have suffered from. Mainly – bad screenwriting and bad editing/directing. The pacing of Aquaman is awful. The movie seems to be ending almost 8 times in just 2 hours.
Maybe the writers are trying to pack a ton in, but they need a more organized effort to make it all connect. Some plots could easily be deleted out of the movie and make the movie better for it. Sometimes less is more.
