Comic book movies are a dime a dozen these days, but director James Wan has a lot on his side with Aquaman. Thanks to its unique underwater setting that involves giant talking crustaceans and massive luminescent seahorses wearing battle armour, there are hitherto-unseen visuals at play in the new DC film. The sunken kingdom of Atlantis offers a chance to construct a world based on the designs of elements found only in the oceans. But it's almost as if Wan & Co. were scared there might never be a second chapter and hence tried to cram every facet of the Atlantean world and the Aquaman comic lore into this one. Owing to that, Aquaman runs 2 hours and 22 minutes — and feels a lot longer — as it squeezes in half a dozen stories and landscapes, all of which require an explanation of their own.
