The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

From the pilot, I'm enthused about this new version of Aquaman. I was particularly impressed on how the creators captured Aquaman's (A.C.'s) underwater life.....IMDb lists the pilot under 2006...It's 2007 now...I hope they didn't drop the show; otherwise, the channel's executives have their heads up their asses.When the grown A.C. first comes into the show, looking like a California beach dude, I was like "Oh No....This is going to be some Dawson's Creek, contrived teenage drama..." But actually, A.C. shows some depth in his character to make it interesting (although all the characters are pretty simple). The writing needs help being predictable, but they've done a good job at leaving the following plot open and mysterious. The acting needs serious work as well although I was glad to see Vin Rahmes and Lou Diamond Phillips bring some seasoned professionalism to the show. The directing also needs to improve...Emotionally it's "tacky." The director takes the viewer from suspenseful scenes to carefree, bubbly scenes immediately afterwards...taking away from the continuity of the plot.Overall though, I enjoyed it...There's a lot to work with, but I fear if certain aspects (as mentioned above) are not payed attention to the show will end up being mediocre while it could be GREAT. It really does have great potential I think, but I fear if the show continues, it will get stupid with the writing, acting, and directing, and I'll get bored and tune out.

I just downloaded the Aquaman pilot from iTunes and I cannot believe that it never got picked up for the CW fall schedule. This show easily beats One Tree Hill, Supernatural, and 7th Heaven. The acting was superb, the plot was amazing, and it got me hooked. By the end I was furious that there were no more episodes to watch, because it is just that compelling. There's so much that could be explored in later episodes... the actual extent of his powers, if he is able to find his mom, is Lt. Torres from Atlantis, and how A.C. is able to save both the world and the sea. I hope that Miles Millar and Al Gough keep pushing for this show to air. Maybe the CW will pick it up next season, or mid season next year if enough of a following develops. I've read nothing but good things about this show; everyone that's seen it seems to love it and I think that should send a message to the network to pick it up.

Wow. I was really impressed by the pilot. After seeing the Smallville episode 'Aqua', and later hearing about a pilot being developed, I was very excited. I'm a pretty big Smallville fan, and I believe that Aquaman has the potential to be a very good series.Arthur 'AC' Curry (Aquaman) has his mother taken from him at an early age when their light plane crashed over the Bermuda Triangle. Arthur is raised in Tempest Keys in Florida, with more-than-special aquatic abilities - and the curiosity of what really happened to his mother. The pilot is set in present day and Arthur is a dive shop owner with his friend Eva. In the beginning of the pilot Arthur is actually arrested for supposedly freeing a bunch of dolphins from a theme park. Arthur later attempts to persuade Eva to believe him that the dolphins were some how 'calling' to him.I don't want to give too much away, but another character - McCaffery (who will try and convince Arthur of his true destiny), soon reveals himself, and Arthur will also encounter a creature from the deep. Another fantastic storyline is the matter of numerous missing persons from the Bermuda Triangle showing up around Mercy Reef.The pilot is very interesting and I really took a liking to the cast, in addition, the special effects were surprisingly impressive. It is just heartbreaking that Aquaman was not picked up in 2006. I can only hope the network will see the true potential in this series sometime in the future.

Only now i got to see it..and i must say its not that great...not different from "Surface"..and the special effects..well they are well done.....but i have seen better......i think the bermude story and atlantis kind of wear's off...we always want something new and aquamen doesn't bring anything new........Maybe "the flash" would be more interesting as a series ...but smallville beat's them all...until now of course(super power type movie).I don't think aquamen would have lasted to long.....there are so many shows nowadays that are much much better...but still..aquamen it's not bad at all..but it's not that good.
