Once home to the most advanced civilization on Earth, the city of Atlantis is now an underwater kingdom ruled by the power-hungry King Orm. With a vast army at his disposal, Orm plans to conquer the remaining oceanic people -- and then the surface world. Standing in his way is Aquaman, Orm's half-human, half-Atlantean brother and true heir to the throne. With help from royal counselor Vulko, Aquaman must retrieve the legendary Trident of Atlan and embrace his destiny as protector of the deep.

Critics Consensus

Aquaman swims with its entertainingly ludicrous tide, offering up CGI superhero spectacle that delivers energetic action with an emphasis on good old-fashioned fun.

The dumb parts of the movie are the best parts of the movie. I wish it had leaned into being more dumb.

B-minus

It’s a comic-fantasy that gets a passing grade, but not a high one. What’s weird is that is actually a high score for the Warner Brothers brand of comic-book movies.

Aquaman has some truly original imagery and a matching score to boot. If only the writing had been as imaginative.

B-

Aquaman is the fun action-packed, adventure movie we’ve sorely been needing from the DCEU. I’m happy with how they developed the character and hope to see more of him. I highly recommend you see this on the big screen.

I like the special effects. The plot was a little weak.

I actually slept through a lot of it. I was suffocating from the overwhelming amount of awful acting and cliche riddled dialogue. The score was also repetitive anticlimactic. Basically don't bother watching unless its free and you have nothing else to do.
