a5c7b9f00b When Atlantian troops assault Metropolisrevenge for the death of their king, the Queen seeks help from the Justice League to find her son who has gone missing during the madness. In the aftermath of Justice League: War, the world is at peace or so it seems. When Atlantis attacks the Metropolis for the death of their king. But the Queen has different plans and requires the Justice League to find her lost son. But while they search for him, Atlantian troops; led by Ocean Master, continue their assault. Who will win? &quot;Son of Batman&quot; &amp; &quot;Batman: Assault on Arkham&quot; director Ethan Spaulding stages plenty of action in this Aquaman origin opus. Mysterious forces sink a U.S.Naval nuclear sub and remove its devastating missile payload. Naturally, the Justice League receives a summons, and Cyborg hikes into the Marianas Trench to investigate the damage done to the sub. Flash, Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Shazam all show up. Apparently, the villainous Orm/Ocean Master, Queen Atlanna&#39;s rebellious son, advocates war against the surface dwellers despite Queen Atlanna&#39;s wishes to the contrary. You know, it&#39;s the old Cavalry versus the Indians western with an unhappy upstart fomenting war despite the council of the wise Indian chieftain. Arthur discovers that his mother is Queen Atlanna after she dispatches a resourceful envoy named Mera who saves his bacon. What this lady can do with water is pretty amazing.<br/><br/>Indeed, the plot ispredictablea 1960&#39;s Italian sword and sandal saga with malice in the palace. Nevertheless, the confrontations are good, particularly Arthur&#39;s introduction. He is sitting in a bar getting himself sloshed and carrying on a conversation with a lobster in a tank. Ultimately, Arthur saves a lobster from being cooked and beats the snot out a group of unruly thugs over the creature. Of course, Arthur leaves all of them sprawled on their faces. When a lone thug tries to stab him with a knife, this incredulous villain watcheshis knife crumbles to pieceshis blade strikes his flesh. The animation is Filmation meets Anime. Everybody needs a haircutmy dad would say. Aquaman sets out to thwart his evil half-brother. Superman dates Wonder Woman and buys her a meal at a little cozy restaurant. Lois Lane stumbles onto them. They look like they modeled Mera on Jennifer Aniston. At 72 minutes, &quot;Justice League: Throne of Atlantis&quot; is worth a look-see. This represents the second time that writer Heath Corson and Spaulding have worked together on a DC Comics project. Okay, the first New 52 Justice League animated movie had a rush start. So this sequel gives it more time for development, focusing more on Arthur Curry aka Aquaman. Still not a fan of Aquaman, but I appreciate the character and I sincerely appreciate the effort for his character in the New 52 comic books and in this animated movie. This takes on a slower pace then the constant pumped up action sequences. It seemed a bit too slow at first, but the build up is actually decent in this. Despite this having more of a development compared to &quot;War&quot; which was the gripe with most viewers. The pacing and development was just sort of boring to sit through. I am not sure if it&#39;s because it&#39;s about Aquaman&#39;s origin no offence, but it just wasn&#39;t all that interesting and it&#39;s not because I couldn&#39;t relate with the hero either. The writers did a alright job of making Aquaman a bit of a badass in this. &quot;Throne of Atlantis&quot; isn&#39;t anything special from the DC universe. But I do appreciate the effort and how they portrayed Arthur Curry in this. He is actually a likable Justice League member in this, especially compared to other members.<br/><br/>6.9/10
