I'm a comic book fan. Read them all the time when I was a kid, and grew into a sci-fi fan. Such that I think that the worst sci-fi is still better than most anything else out there.

But this stinker, ... what can I say that's at least charitable?

For these superguy scenarios, there are two universes. One occupied by Marvel's Avengers; the other by DC's Justice League -- Ironman, the Hulk, Thor, and Captain America never hang out with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Aquaman (played by Jason Momoa) hangs in DC's world.

I like Momoa. He's a big hamhock, but good within hammy roles. He's kind of funny.

The story is pure fantasy, not sci-fi. And as fantasy, it reeks. Special effects within special effects, all built on completely inane possibilities and the goofiest of story lines.. Disneyland underwater. To hell with the laws of physics. We don't need no stinkin' science screwing up this flick. Except relativity. Time is supposed to slow down as things speed up. The pace of this sucker is so fast it won't let you breathe, which I'm guessing is why its so damn long.

I could go on, but I want to purge this one from the memory banks asap. Save your money and your stomach contents. Don't waste resources on it. Oh, ... Nicole Kidman and Willem Dafoe are also in it; God have mercy on their careers.
