(WARNING: IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN THE MOVIE AND/OR READ THE COMIC/COMICS IT IS BASED ON, SPOILERS ARE BOUND TO HAPPEN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)
Though I have not read the story line in which this film is based on, (I only have one issue.) I went in to the film with an open mind.
Picking up, roughly, a few months or so after the previous WB/DC ANIMATED FEATURE- “JUSTICE LEAGUE: WAR” The League is nowhere near the solid unit we know them to be. When a U.S Nuclear Sub is mysteriously attacked, CYBORG decides to go investigate on his own. 
Escaping from a surprise attack by unknown assailants. He decides it’s time to call in for help.
We catch up with SUPERMAN and WONDER WOMAN and their blossoming romance as the team is rounded up. In the meanwhile. We are introduced to a one, ARTHUR CURRY…
Dealing with the recent loss of his dad. Arthur is struggling to understand who and or what, he is. Knowing he has these amazing abilities of breathing under water, enhanced strength and agility. And that he can talk to see life. He still doesn’t know where he belongs or how he can do what he does!
Also, we take trip to the city of Atlantis. Where the Queen is at odds with her vengeance seeking son ORM. Whom blames the death of the king, his father, on the surface world. 
Which was the after credits scene from JL:WAR!
Angry about her stance of peace with the surface world, ORM allies himself with (an under utilized) BLACK MANTA!
To set his planned war on The surface world in to motion.
Im not going to say I did not like the film. But so many things about it could have been done differently. For instance, The Justice League, seemed so unnecessary. It would have best served the film to be a complete AQUAMAN stand alone origin story.
Once shit hits the fan, then the League could have let their presence known.
The whole first act, dragged itself along. But when things needed to build up the way it should, for both the action and emotional parts.. It was poorly rushed! Like, somewhere along the line, somebody said “lets move it along!” It failed to hit the emotional parts so badly. (SPOILER!) When Aquaman is ready to meet his mother for the first time. Only to find her dead!! It falls completely FLAT! I did not give a flying fuck! And that sucks!!
BLACK MANTA was literally a throw away character! Instead, the focus was more on ORM and his wicked misdeeds and crap. When Manta had the greater potential to be the true puppet master behind the whole thing.
I hate to say this but.. The more I think about it.. The more of a piece of crap I think it is!! Right up there with SON OF BATMAN, and heck, even JL:WAR was a waste! I find the direction DC/WB’s animated universe to be the WRONG direction! Each one is supposed to continue after the other. For some kind of cohesive over arching universe.. But for fucks sake!! It sucks! They are basically taking, three to four different sets of story lines from the comics and tossing them together in to one film and it seems like an uneven mess!
DC’s ORIGINAL ANIMATED FILMS used to be the shit! When it came to animated features! Adapting one story and crafting a badass hour to hour and a half feature was really good! Their BATMAN ones were the best! Even the JUSTICE LEAGUE ones were great. JL:DOOM being my fav. But these last few offerings, (EXCLUDING ASSAULT ON ARKHAM) have been great disappointments! Starting with SON OF BATMAN! Something is going wrong over at WB ANIMATION! MARVEL has the same problem, most of their animated works leave a lot to be desired. Except, PLANET HULK, HULK VS, and DR. STRANGE. Most of their animated offerings have been… MEH! It seems DC is headed down the same path for some reason. It’s hard to watch!
There are.. SOME… Not a lot, but some redeeming qualities about THRONE OF ATLANTIS. It’s not a complete waste of time. (For someone who hasn’t read the source materiel.. I swear if I did.. I would have probably hated this movie a whole lot more! Much like I did WAR!) Seriously, it should have been a solo Aquaman Movie.. It would have been SO much better!
And one quick thing before I go.. Something that’s been bugging me… 
WHEN THE FUCK DID SUPERMAN AND WONDER WOMAN GAIN THE ABILITY TO BREATH AND TALK UNDER-FUCKING-WATER!?!?!??? ARE YOU SHITTING ME!!!??
For Fucks Sake!
(HERES THE PART WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE A “RATINGS SYSTEM” FOR MY REVIEWS!)
I give JUSTICE LEAGUE: THRONE OF ATLANTIS.. 🔱🔱🔱⭕⭕ 3/5 Gold things! (I have no fucking clue what the gold symbol actually is. But it looks cool! I’ll stick with it for now!) [“Hmm, kinda looks like a trident!”] Yeah, hey it does! [“So, it fits!”] yup.. It’s a work in progress!
So, Until next time folks… Peace out!
