This is where I vehemently but respectfully disagree, Aquaman's visuals were better than anything I've seen in the genre -- from the quality of the CGI to the overall aesthetic, it felt like no expense was spared in that department (probably because they felt like they needed to redeem the DCEU after they stumbled so hard out of the gate). When you compare Aquaman to more recent Marvel things (Spider-man Homecoming and Black Panther come to mind) it's just no contest, Aquaman has them beat. The use of color was lovely, especially during the scene in the storm where they are attacked by The Trench creatures, the way the red flare stands out against the dark colors really highlights things in a wonderful way. Black Manta having an actual costume (albeit of course aided by CGI a bit) was very nice to see and I loved it's design. Aquaman felt like they hit the "just right" spot for a Superhero movie. It was campy, but not overly so. It had an emotional core that people could connect with while also balancing the overarching fantastical plot.
Nolan's trilogy is so drab, I get why people like the gritty realism, but that's not something I personally like. Plus TDKR has that whole "How did Bruce get back into Gotham?" thing that can only be answered by "lol he's Batman deal w/it nerd!" and I don't think that's a good enough answer, especially when these movies are praised for being a bit more grounded in reality than your average superhero film. Bane was laughable too, the voice was so comical and it was mixed poorly -- too prominent compared to everything else in the audio. Aquaman's sound design was great and the soundtrack is something else -- it had themes, motifs and also memorable melodies. Never in a Marvel film have I taken notice of the score. Nolan's Batman trilogy had a few memorable tracks that had their own stylish appeal, I'll give it that.
these are my jumbled thoughts but it's getting tl;dr so I'm gonna chill now. Hope you're having a lovely day and I do respect your opinions, despite my disagreeing ^_^

Because the underwater hair effects were some of the sort visual effects I've seen in a long time(not to mention those terrible wigs - the outfits were amazing but those wigs...)
They had some very beautiful scenes, like the one you mentionned with the trench creatures and the movie was entertaining but imo that makes it a good superhero movie but not a great movie per se. One thing I wanted to see more in Aquaman is how Arthur grew up, and develop more his relationship with his dad. Because he seemed like a very important part of Arthur's life but we see so little of him. (I did like that happy ending though - I'm a sucker for true love always win)
As for Nolan trilogy, what I liked the most in TDKR was Bruce aging. The fact that he actually hurt, that his body was a mess.
Bane was laughable too, the voice was so comical
Hardy voice is... peculiar? (let's go with peculiar)
I still thing Aquaman is the superior DC release in the past few years but it's not "it" for me
I hope you're having a great day too, and will enjoy the week-end (soon)
