Aquaman

Once Arthur Curry, a well-known Aquaman, found out that he was a child of two worlds: his dad was the simplest person, and his mom was the queen of the underwater state of Atlantis, which is why he can easily claim the throne. When someone asks me what Aquaman is like, I mention an early scene where the opposing Atlantean forces are fighting and discussing the future of the kingdom. One side rides armored seahorses that whine. The other is on armored sharks that growl. Aquaman cares about scientific accuracy no less than SpongeBob SquarePants. And that's one of the many reasons why I like him. You need to be able to be as funny as this movie about a half-man, half-Atlantean, who is known on earth as Arthur Curry, and at the same time not seem condescending to the material. Directed by James Wan, the film is part of a thriving subcategory of superhero films, also represented by Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Venom and both Ant-Man films - sweet, goofy, at times psychedelically strange films that mostly reject the sour gloom taken for maturity. But this does not mean that these films are not serious in their own way. Aquaman, in particular, feels like both a joke and an operatic melodrama. Any movie that can combine these modes is a force to be reckoned with.
