Aquaman:
I saw Aquaman today, and I have to be honest, it is the best DCEU film so far. It's fun, not dark and boring, and doesn't have a horrible third act like Wonder Woman. The acting is great, the CGI looks fantastic and you don't have to have watched any of the previous films to understand it (there's a reference or 2 to Justice League and that's it).
Are there any problems? Yeah. Black Manta is kind of pointless. After his first scene in the submarine, he has no impact on the plot and is just there to provide a land-based action scene (and to set the sequel of course). There's a plot twist later in the movie that's really predictable and why are the general public skeptical about the existence of the atlanteans? They live in the same world where aliens exist! (which is also the problem that Marvel's Inhumans and Iron Fist had).
But regardless, this movie proves that there is still life in the DCEU (technically the Worlds of DC), and I highly urge you to watch it!
