Typical, competent superhero origin film mostly devoid of that little extra twinkle in the eye or original twist that makes it stand out. Basically the DCEU's answer to Thor 1, in plot, tone and characters, for better and for worse. Just a decade later. In the movie landscape of 2019, it's thus rather bland, but 15 years ago, when there wasn't thirty thousand other superhero origin films to compare it to, this would have been quite good, so I can't quite bring myself to be too harsh about it.

Dumb. I didn't even recognize Nicole Kidman, her role is so bland. When not on the off-season Momoa does look good wearing nothing but pants and tattoos. ( )

Although it looked spectacular there were just too many fights in this film for me. So I got bored at times. I like Jason Momoa and when they allowed a touch of humour to the character the film improved but it was so rare. Entertaining sometimes but could have been so much better. ( )

Adequate. ( )

A fish-man estranged from the fish-people needs to become their king to stop a war.

2/4 (Indifferent).

It's a terrible movie, but kind of fun at times. ( )
