Superhero movies have never been this good

So what do you know about any superhero movie? It has good the origin story, a conflict and resolution. but Not this one, The movie starts with the pre-origin of Arthur Curry (loosely based on New 52 comics) when his mother Queen Atlanna meets a surface dweller Thomas "Tom" Curry, a light house keeper. She spends about 2 years with him and has a baby named after an hurricane "Arthur Curry" later to be known as Aquaman. Before you even dwell into the aquaman/arthur curry's story line you come to see a beautiful lovestory between the parents. and eventually same continues between Mera and Arthur.

This wasn't just an other superhero/comic book movie, this had all elements of surprises with various kingdoms of the sea (Trench & brine) The emotional development of characters like Thomas, Atlanna, Manta/BlackManta and even our very own Patrick Wilson's King Orm. He isn't a regular villain who wants to take over the world, he has a right agenda and equally justified reason to hate surface dwellers, its just his way of doing this isn't politically correct though.

The editing/Narration of the film takes you places, literally. I love how transitions are shown through Water/Sun and those time jumps.

I could go on and on about this, but to sum it all up.... I felt like a child while watching this movie. I was so fascinated looking at all the visuals, characters and the beautifully narrated story-line.

PS: Watch out for BlackManta and Shin ;)
