TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Ella-May O'Brien
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

When trouble erupts, the last son of Krypton doffs his identity as Clark Kent to become Superman. When villians threaten the sea, they must face the power of its Atlantian defenders, Aquaman, Aqualad and Mera. In addition to these featured characters, we have several other heroes' adventures. The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure features alot of DC Heroes such as Superman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Atom and more unfortunately for them they go against bugs and potato looking aliens in stories that are just cheesy. (4/10)

Being a child of the 70's, I wish I had been around in the late 1960's when Saturday morning programming consisted 80% of animated Super Hero cartoons. I would have loved to have seen the original format of the DC Super Heroes by Filmation. I'd already seen Superman and Superboy on the Bozo Show when I was around the ages of 11 or 12.As for Aquaman, I didn't see those cartoons until I was a high school senior and we had finally gotten a VCR, so I went to Blockbuster video and rented the Super Powers Aquaman cartoons. I was blown away. Loved the music and the voice overs. I enjoyed Aquaman and Aqualad and could handle Mera and the sea horses. It was Tusky the Walrus I could have done without. I think he and Space Ghost's monkey Blip were the beginning of useless cartoon characters who had no business hanging out with Super Heroes. Aquaman's foes were enjoyable. The only one who I wasn't too hot about was Black Manta. The design and Ted Knight's voice for him just didn't do him justice. After seeing Black Manta on Challenge of the SuperFriends voiced over by Ted Cassidy, no one seems to hold a candle. I loved watching Aquaman create hard water balls even though that is actually Mera's power. It seems to me that the Aquaman cartoons were trying to cash in on the camp style of the Batman TV show. The Aqua duo had an Aquacave and Aquacomputers that work underwater. And Aqualad has catchphrases like Holy Haddocks! or Sufferin Sailfish!! And what was up with Aquaman's boots? I'm used to the legs with fins. But these flaws are minor and shouldn't stop you from checking out the Aquaman animated series of 1967. I love the music, especially the theme music. Lots of Almanacs and sites pertaining to Aquaman tend to get one thing wrong. It wasn't Ted Knight who did Aquaman's voice, though he narrated and voiced over all male villains and background characters. It was actually Marvin Miller and he did a pretty good job. As for the DC Heroes, I didn't see them until the badly edited Superman/Batman Adventures package that aired in 1996 on USA Network. Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, The Atom, and the Teen Titans each had something odd or wrong about their outfits, but that doesn't stop the shows from being exciting with lots of action packed action. I only wish Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Arrow could have been on Justice League and Robin could have been leading the Teen Titans. But in the cases of Batman and Robin, it's understandable since their rights were tied up with the Live TV show at the time. Though I've never seen this hour long show in its original format, I did one time see what a sample of half the format looked like. It had 2 Aquaman episodes with one rotating DC cartoon in the middle. The first of those I saw was the Justice League of America. Awesome!! Like I said before, these cartoons are well worth checking out.

This will always be one of my favorite super hero shows. When I saw it as a child, not only did I get to see my favorite super hero Superman, but it also introduced me not only to Aquaman and several other great D.C. Comics characters. I also loved the fact that they pretty much played like the comic books and didn't rely on the camp that dominated "Batman". The only complaint I had about the show was what another person mentioned about the costumes and the fact that Wonder Woman and Green Arrow not included in the Justice League segments or weren't included as guest heroes (the same can be said of J'onn J'onzz, the Manhunter from Mars). In fact, Hawkman never had a specially designed gauntlet with special weapons, he always relied on ancient weapons such as crossbows, maces, lances etc.. Also, Wonder Girl wore sandals during that time period and not go-go boots. Another small complaint is about the Teen Titans. During the era when this show was produced, Robin, not Speedy, was a member of the team. In fact, Speedy only appeared with the Titans on a couple of occasions and didn't become a regular member until 1969. I would have loved to have seen Robin in those segments. However, all complaints aside, this show will always bring fond memories for me because it introduced me to the wonderful heroes of the D.C. Universe.

Why "The Cartoon Network" does not rerun these cartoons is a big mystery? Maybe in the past they did? But I scanned (recently) in the TV guide, and they don't anymore. This show was Super Duper Cool. They use to show it on television on some Bay Area (or maybe it wasn't because my reception always looked like TV snow) TV station back in the mid 80's. The coolest aspect was that it wasn't as cheezy as "The Super Friends" and it gave "Green Lantern" his own mini-show. The fact that they were made in 1967, was great because all the comic book characters looked like they were suppose look... "silver age" style! And to find out Ted Knight did narration, only makes it groovier. Please, some one out there needs to release them on video, or play them on the "Cartoon Network"! Even if it's just to show the Awesome "Green Lantern" on TV! If I saw it again, I'm sure I'd give it a 10!
