Based on the evidence of 300: Rise Of An Empire, if they want to hire Noam Murro it's pretty much a lock the movie will be flashy yet suck.
Jeff Nichols, from the indie world with films like Take Shelter, would at least be interesting.

Karl Urban is awesome in pretty much anything he's in. The problem therein, is that we could end up with a movie where the villain ends up being more interesting than the hero, as he's a far more charismatic and competent actor than Momoa, imo.

I don't see how. He would have looked ridiculous, and it would fly in the face of the whole "Pacific islander" thing.

Jason Momoa with Blonde hair isn't too far fetched, he is a white guy after all.
Now though it's pretty much confirmed they're going more exoticy with aquaman.

I wouldn't call him white, but that's splitting hairs tbh (pun unintended).
I honestly believed his casting from the start was an indicator that they weren't going for the classic Aquaman "look".

Has it been said anywhere they are going for a pacific islander look? Must of missed that.

Here's an excerpt from Jason Momoa's interview:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansi.../news/?a=114524
quote: “Aquaman is especially cool because being a Kanaka Maoli—being Hawaiian—our Gods are Kanaloa and Maui, and the Earth is 71 percent water, so I get to represent that. And I’m someone who gets to represent all the islanders, not some blond-haired superhero. It’s cool that there’s a brown-skinned superhero.”
Sounds like he's more excited to play a non-caucasian Atlantean more than actually playing Aquaman who happens to not be caucasian.

This movie better have a good story because the lead actor isn't going to be carrying it. Momoa is just a snore.

Well, WTF? Aquaman being blonde is very significant in the character's history.
Sounds like the Namor-ising of the character continues on...

All jokes aside, Aquaman being blonde was actually a massive part of his post-crisis origin. Atlantean curses and all.
