Aquaman

Jason Mamoa reprises his role as the aquatic avenger from Justice League in this shallow but energetic sci-fi fantasy. Director James Wan (Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring) goes big-time, big-budget with this CGI-saturated underwater epic. It's 50 percent Indiana Jones, 50 percent Star Wars and 50 percent Thor--and at two hours and 23 minutes long, it's about 50 percent too much film. But it's a good indication that Warner Bros./DC has finally crawled out from under all that "grimdark" baggage and is ready to have some fun. FULL REVIEW: Bright direction and epic action keeps watery superhero afloat by Devin D. O’Leary (12/20/2018). 143 minutes PG-13.
