It was the aquarium scene in Aquaman.
There was something about seeing a little brown kid discovering his super powers while being bullied that simply made me smile and tear up.
Because I’ve been that bullied little brown kid. But without the super powers.
I didn’t expect that.
As for the rest of the movie, I enjoyed it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining. There were a lot of predictable moments that I could see coming a mile away.
The movie looks pretty, certainly, but some of these shots lingered longer than they should have. Some of the action shots looked bad. Period.
And Black Manta was a frakking joke. He reminded me of Gigan in Godzilla Final Wars.
Is it a must see? If you’re a fan of Aquaman or Jason Momoa, by all means, see it.
I would rank it second among the DC movies, behind Wonder Woman, and slightly edging out Justice League.
