Make no mistake, the movie was one overblown and ridiculous set piece after another with plot holes large enough to drive the Vatican through. Still, there was an undeniable charm to it as well. In fact, I think that I liked this movie better than the last couple that have come from the series--certainly better than F9 (which couldn't even be bothered to have a word in its title).
Granted, I might have liked this movie just because it had not one, but two Aquamen (Aquamans?) running around in it. Of the two, Jason Momoa definitely stole the show in his Heath Ledger's Joker meets Jim Carrey's Riddler sort of over-the-top villain. Still, I knew that I knew Alan Ritchson (who played the Agency leading Aimes) when I saw him, only to discover that he played Arthur Curry (aka Aquaman) in the Smallville series.
This is a movie that I went into with low expectations, and it met all of them. In doing so, it also presented just a fun, ridiculous time that makes me want to see the next one. I'm glad that I didn't see it in the theater, but I'm also glad that I saw it.
