Aquaman - Lost Kingdom

So many aspects of this movie are a complete mixed bag:

1) Half of the comedy is really funny, the other half made me roll my eyes.

2) Some of the one-liners are good, some made me cringe.

3) A lot of the action is so cool, a lot is a screen full of gibberish.

4) There are so many beautiful shots and visuals, and also horribly cartoonish CGI like in The Flash.

5) I enjoyed the musical score, but it doesn't reach the level of Black Adam's. And I wasn't a fan of using classic rock tracks for a lighter tone, something we're more likely to see in a Marvel movie.

6) Half the time I was invested, the other half I was unengaged and didn't care.

I had an okay time wit this movie. It benefits from IMAX with the expanded aspect ratio for the entire movie. But in the biggest IMAX around, there were a total of 8 people in my theater. DC seems to have alienated its die-hard fans.
