And, even with those pecs and a talented action/horror director in James Wan (“Furious 7,” “The Conjuring,” “Insidious,” “Saw”) behind the camera, “Aquaman” drowns in cheesy one-liners, soap-opera dialogue, bad acting, overwrought CGI, superhero clichés galore, and don’t even get me started on the convoluted fight scenes. The overseas success is a real head-scratcher because, well, “Aquaman” is all wet, despite an actor in Jason Mamoa, who is the poster boy for brute-force beefcake. The idea of an Aquaman movie was deemed so ridiculous that it was satirized on HBO’s “Entourage.” Even more so, the Protector of the Deep has often been the target of mean barbs tossed on “The Big Bang Theory,” “South Park” and “Family Guy,” where he was called lame and his costume “stupid.” And yet, in spite of being labeled one of the lesser heroes in the Justice League, here we are with “Aquaman,” the big budget DC superhero movie that is already an international blockbuster, earning $261.3 million. ![]()
