I’d been meaning to rewatch the first Aquaman for a long time. I loved it when it came out but anytime I saw it listed on a flight or playing on HBO, I didn’t watch it. Maybe it was the oddly negative stigma around it that has developed over the past few years. Finally though, with the sequel in theaters, I gave it another watch and—holy crap—this movie is glorious. It somehow hits the exact right tone where it’s not too goofy and not too serious, but also very goofy and very serious. That along with the visuals and sweeping story just won me over all over again. – Germain Lussier
