I watched both Aquaman movies, I left them towards the end because I really wasn't looking forward to them:

1: surprised me by how entertaining it was. Jason Momoa is a good gritty Aquaman but a bad lighter one, he doesn't fit the character well. Black mantha was great. I loved the power rangers looking storm trooper putties, I loved the scenery, the colors, everything felt fresh, the two villain set up was handled well. Super impressed.

2: starts of a bit boring, but it's not that bad, the newness is just not there anymore and the story is not as good. Not ri mention they have less if the trippy neon visuals that made the original fun. but there's some good scenes, especially with Black mantha and Ocean Master been if it's a retread.

We need a blonde short haired Aquaman for the DCU that can keep the mood lighter. It's a shame Momoa's Aquaman never lost a hand, it would've been shocking and fit his grittier Aquaman very well.
