Movie Review: Aquaman

                                                             Aquaman Review

Aquaman is about Arthur Curry whose mother was the queen of Atlantis and his father was a human lighthouse keeper which made Arthur a man of both the sea and the land. Arthur's mother had to go back to Atlantis in order to protect him and be married to and have a child with a man that she did not love and she is later put to death by her people. Arthur has grown up and became the super hero Aquaman but has never been to Atlantis and never tried to take his place as the king of Atlantis despite his mentor encouraging him to do so. When it becomes clear that Arthur's half brother Orm is trying to start a war between the sea and the land's people agree to go to Atlantis to challenge Orm's rule. Arthur is aided in his quest by Mera who is a princess and is betrothed to Orm but doesn't agree with his plans to start a war with the surface world.

Arthur has to find a trident that only a true king can wield and has been missing for hundreds of years in order for him to unite the seven seas, stop Orm and prevent a war with the surface world. Arthur and Mera have to travel across the world looking for clues about were the trident is hidden while evading Orm's men who are out to kill them. During their adventures across the world Arthur and Mera start to get to know each other better and start appreciate each other's differences and begin to fall for each other. Through out the film Arthur learns more about himself, his people and what it truly means to be a king which helps him to succeed in his mission in the end.

Overall I really loved this movie, it was a lot of fun, had a really good story to it and was filled many wonderful characters that I enjoyed learning more about. I thought the world building and mythology that this story had was very well down and I thought the directing and special effects made this movie look beautiful.
