The movie takes place shortly after Justice League and sees Arthur struggling to accept his responsibilities to both Atlantis, and the terrestrial people of Earth. As a complete homage to action movies of the 1980s, Aquaman includes a hunk, one-liners, and action with punctuation. The introduction to Arthur Curry ( Jason Momoa) establishes the ‘80s action camp viewers can expect from the rest of the picture. It rules for many reasons - Atlantians riding sharks and seahorses, spooky creatures in the deep, crab people! There’s a fun factor that Shazam! also touched on, but in Aquaman, face-melting special effects ornament almost every shot.
