After the events of Justice League: War, Ocean Master and Black Manta have declared a war against the surface in retaliation of the aftermath of Apokoliptian-tyrant Darkseid's planetary invasion. Queen Atlanna seeks out her other son, Ocean Master’s half-brother Arthur Curry, a half-human with aquatic powers with no knowledge of his Atlantean heritage, to restore balance.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

An origin story for Aquaman, whose people invade the Surface world under the command of Ocean Master (his half brother). This leads to problems for the surface world as well as for Aquaman, whose always split his time between the surface and Altantis.

Without any question or doubt, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis is the definitive telling of Aquaman's origins. as the bastard son of Queen Atlanta, he has a difficult hero's journey ahead. the twist of Manta coaxing Orm into war is brilliant, and well executed. were there problems? sure. but who cares? the idea of an already engaged Atlantean Princess having been impregnated by a human and having to leave soon after giving birth to her son ups the ante on the whole Hero's Journey that we've been seeing throughout mythology. the one thing about this i don't like is they replaced Martian Manhunter with Shazam, who's not one of the founding members in the comics. but, it's the New 52 version, so what the hell?

This is ludicrously bad. It is almost as if DC/WB did not want to make it. The biggest pitfall of DC's newest venture is the story. What the heck is going on in there? It is as if it was belched out of some story idea app that puts together clichéd tropes.Foreign queen sires earthling and abandons him, check. Megalomaniac villain without no motivation, check. Hero who swallows up lengthy exposition about who he is supposed to be without raising an eyebrow, check. (Speaking of eyebrows, hey DC, if you're tuned in, can you please do away with those horrendous eyebrows you slap on every character?) Oh, and the Queen must wear revealing, flowing clothes and must be murdered by her own son to provide our hero, her other son, who by the way never knew her and couldn't possibly have an deep attachment to her with a revenge story arc. Also, Mera, well classic Trinity syndrome if I ever saw one. She falls for the guy on bandaging his very first cut. Like, puhh....leeeezzzz. The doctor recommends an Anita Sarkeesian video every night for a week.On the plus side, I geeked out on the amped up gore, Green Lantern's vacuum cleaner and Superman/ Wonder Woman romance. Also, the video analysis scene where every team member puts forth collective input was nicely done. The voice work is good. Animation is good but falls short of epic. DC stalwarts definitely need to pull their socks up.And, can anyone explain why Orm created that huge tidal wave and used it merely as a stage curtain?

General Storyline: Not bad at all. Good fun. Not too serious, not too funny.Fighting: Good fun. I have 1 problem; an Atlantean with a trident, not Aquaman, basically single-handedly defeating the rest of the individual Justice League members so quickly (their first attack anyway). I can see the intentions of making the bad guy so tough, in order to make Aquaman look better, but seriously... not very realistic (ok, in the comic book sense anyway). Fishy bad guy, on dry land and unfamiliar territory, with zero plans for defeating the world's greatest heroes... uh, no.Shazam (I still have issues with his name NOT being Captain Marvel, but whatever): A little childish in personality. The fact that he is actually a child, this kinda makes sense, but not his usual personality, and not a great lead-in for the upcoming live-action movie(s).Overall: A good and watchable movie.
