12 Bafflingly High 2018 IMDB Scores You Will Not Believe

3. Aquaman (7.5)

According to IMDB, Aquaman is a better movie than Black Panther, with the latter rocking a bizarrely low 7.4 rating.

However, this might say more about racists successfully brigading Black Panther's score than it does about the majority truly believing Aquaman to be the better film.

James Wan certainly directs the hell out of the latest entry into the DCEU, a knowingly corny superhero romp which outstays its welcome by a good half-hour and isn't scripted with a single ounce of imagination.

But the visuals do (mostly) work, the cast is likeable and that's ultimately what audiences care about most, hence Aquaman crossing the $1 billion mark worldwide despite thoroughly mixed reviews.

The Score It Deserves: There's no way in hell it deserves to be rated above Black Panther, Blindspotting (7.4), Bumblebee (7.3), Mary Poppins Returns (7.2), Game Night (7.0), A Simple Favor (6.9) and so on.

It is a messy yet well-produced film that doesn't take itself too seriously. Critics were on the money with their 6.0 average, then.
