Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Waste of time

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I cannot say I am too mad that this 42-minute television pilot episode had not been continued into a real regular television show. Especially the acting was a weakness. Justin Hartley could not convince me and most of the supporting players weren't much better. Hartley is obviously a casting choice here in terms of where filmmakers cared much more about the physical side of the lead actor than about his range. This is quite a pity as the story of Aquaman could have been much more interesting than in this one here, in which he goes up against an evil siren. The effects are nice and there are some pretty good moments, but as a whole, it's just not enough for the runtime of half a feature film. Not recommended.

Imagine what this show could have done if it were picked up by the idiots that run the CW.I watch the pilot over and over on iTunes simply because I like to imagine that maybe one day it will take off. And Justin brought new life to the Aquaman character.Seeing him on Smallville as the Green Arrow was mildly satisfying, but not enough. I Want More. I want to see the story line evolve as it should have and get more of those 10.0+ special effects. They were excellent for a television show. Pray for a miracle that some one with more interest in bringing it to television does so. If only...

Okay, I just got through this pilot tonight and keeping a straight face was not an option. Dreadful acting from everyone involved. Every trick in the book thrown at this production out of sheer desperation and every trick done badly. iTunes must be laughing. From the name "Aquaman" to Ving Rhames obviously trying to keep his tongue between his cheeks: Bad, bad and bad. However.....Having said that, I liked it. It made me snile ( that's a cross between sniggering and smiling ) and I thought the story intriguing. Drawing together multiple myths and creating more questions than it answered, this single ( badly made ) episode had me wanting more. It simply has a very good story, albeit let down by bad production values.Call it "The Man From Atlantis", lose the breasts and the American sugar coating and I honestly think this series has a chance. Hopefully someone can pick the series up off the floor.

Being a long time fan of all which is remotely related to the comic book genre, i feel this has the potential to be as good as Smallville (which in my opinion is one of the best shows on TV today). Justin Hartley makes a good Aquaman much better than the smallville actor, the show has suspense, excitement and has the appeal which makes a viewer want to keep watching time and time again, i would be greatly disappointed if CW or any other television company did not pick it up. It should be and hopefully CW will realise the attention just 1 episode is getting and air it. I think it was a good move from Apple to be able to download this from i- tunes, this grabs peoples attention. Another reason why i would like to see Aquaman on TV is because i don't know how much more they will be able to do with Smallville.
