n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

i have to agree with mostly everyone that wrote about this topic about the aquaman show. cw was nuts for not picking up this series. i think this show would have been excellent to see. the characters were will picked the trailer left me wanting more just like everyone else. i think if cw realized or even read some of these comments. the realize their mistake and maybe even think about maybe working on trying to make the show happen. cause some of the shows that are out out don't think there going to last and if they do well good job. but really Aquaman would make a great summer or fall show. Here's hoping that cw gets there act together.

It is a shame that this pilot did not go on to be a series. The plot was excellent enough to be a movie. The plot was sincere and well done. The script was not hokey like other comic book based movies or TV shows. Of all the DC Comic shows that have been done, this was one of the better. Not on the scale of Batman and Superman but definitely much better than Green Lantern and CatWoman. I hope DC Comics uses the same methodology with the 2013 movie that is yet to be created. One reviewer thought that the plot was same as others and far fetched by being related to the Bermuda Triangle. The special affects were very well done as well. The swimming scene was very realistic and as I would expect from Aquaman. The siren was very well done.

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...

Mercy Reef could be the ultimate example of how to make a really bad pilot. It appears as if the recipe that was used to create this show was:1) Get a bunch of good looking ex-swimsuit models who can't act: Apart from Ving Rhames, the entire cast combined couldn't deliver lines for a gum commercial. Sure, they all look cute, but their expressionless, bobble-head deliveries look like first year high-school drama.2) Forget about a plot, just throw lots of poorly thought out action scenes together: The writers seemed to have missed the boat on coming up with a decent enough reason for the audience to stick around. Sure, let's just believe that the sea baddies can tell when Orin is flying above, but can't find him when he's floating outside the door of a wrecked plane. Let's make it so that he'll be out and about in the sea and completely defenseless, but instead they go pick on a jet plane and then be so kind as to leave him alone when he goes to save the mandatory hot female pilot. Okay then...3) Let's embody every character with every cliché trait you can throw at a wall. Upstanding military man with angst ridden, surfer attitude son who has no sense of responsibility. Lone female pilot (did I mention it's mandatory she be hot?) who is up against the world being given the top assignment. And should we talk about the lovely, bar-tending brunette trying to give the main character a sense of purpose? What is this, Dawson's Creek?4) And should we throw in some dark-suited government baddies as well? That always goes over like... like... well, something. But I wouldn't leave it in the hands of these writers to think up what?Seriously, I have to thank the maker for this show being passed over. It is one of the most poorly crafted series I have ever seen. I can't believe that people are actually giving this garbage a rating of 10 out of 10. If this is quality television to some people, then some people need to get out more. This is not Battlestar Galactica level quality. This is not even He-Man quality. This show reads as if it were written over a weekend because the pay looked good, not as if it was a lovingly developed and nurtured work.Maybe the show's creators should have just used the energy involved in turning this show out to make Smallville a better series. It obviously wasn't a lot of energy, but every little bit thrown back to a half-decent series is energy better spent.
