Damn "empty shell" thats some harsh **** and I strongly disagree but to each his own.
I feel like there is a litmus test for your enjoyment of Aquaman which is essentially the opening sequence where Arthur crashes into the submarine, shirtless and wet and he whips his hair back and smirks at the audience asking "permission to come aboard?" with a badass guitar riff. If that scene makes you smile or cheer then you're going to have a great time with this movie. If that scene makes you roll your eyes or groan, then you might as well exit the movie at that point as it isn't going to be for you. That scene is Wan and Mamoa telling people exactly what kind of movie they're getting.
That scene was cool. He looked so powerful. I don't think some people realize just how amazing it is that Wan pulled off a mostly underwater superhero movie. I mean, not only did he have to create an underwater world with different regions, each with their own look and designs, including the citizens, but he did it all the while making it feel realistic that it was all taking place underwater-- the way people moved, swam about casually as if they could all fly, the fighting, all of it. This takes the underwater scene in Phantom Menace and magnifies it by orders of magnitude. Even if one doesn't like the movie, we should all still be able to appreciate what was accomplished.




Happy holidays everyone!!
