“Aquaman” (*** out of four) was a majestic adaptation of the DC comic book about the story of half-human/half-Atlantean Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) who goes on a journey of the abyss and a personal journey within himself to step forward and lead his underwater people on a war initiated by his evil half-brother (Patrick Wilson). Full of eye-popping effects and good action scenes and grounded by absorbing dramatic elements in the character’s relationships and a superb supporting cast including Willem Dafoe, Nicole Kidman, and Dolph Lundgren. Director James Wan’s first comic book extravaganza but this is far more sturdy and sure-handed than many of his horror movie hits.
