The rift between Momoa and Turd is evident in this move. Aquaman barely had a dialog with his wife Mera :smile:
This was bad!
Bad plot
Bad acting
Bad CGI
BAD
Really Bad
Post credit scene is disgusting
Aquaflop: Deep Dive into Dissapointment
Another disappointing movie from the superhero genre. Who would've guessed right? Like most superhero movies I went in with shallow expectations. Aquaman 2 is filled with CGI soaked fighting sequences, terribly done dialogue and some pun-derwater jokes (I am proud of that pun). The only good thing about the movie that got going on is Patrick Wilson's acting and Jason Momoa's charm. But not even that is enough to save this shipwreck of a movie.
Overall I would rather recommend you to skip this watery mess.
It’s nothing new but was definitely watchable given the relatively short runtime of just over 2 hours. Some of the CGI (especially the creature physics) and fight choreography is pretty spectacular (this was especially apparent because I watched it in 3D), but the movie as a whole borrows liberally from other popular sci-fi/fantasy works (sandworms from Dune, the Star Wars cantina scene with a clone of Jabba the Hutt, Power Rangers-like setup for boss battles, an Indiana Jones-esque quest sequence, and finally the Lich King from Warcraft.)
The dialogue is pretty mediocre and some of the jokes/quips are cringeworthy but don’t judge too hard and you’ll like it fine. 6.5/10.
I didn't think it was as bad as the reviews made it out to be. Easy movie to watch with some very good special effects. Worth a watch. :thumbsup_tone1:
Good fun, but ultimately pointless. It also felt very similar to Thor and Loki's MCU relationship, just not done as well.
felt forced, should never have been made, straight up MCU copycat
Not that MCU is good, but this film feels like a weaker DCEU version of Thor: Dark World (with Orm siding with Arthur - they even throw a shade at Loki) and Black Panther (with Atlantis opening up to the world and Arthur preaching about kindness and technology to solve... climate change, lol).
The film has no stake at all. Throughout the film you'll see some supposed tense between the characters, but every instances of supposed betrayal or any semblance of conflict is a cop out or played out as a joke. People get hurt, they are burned or stabbed badly, but they recover minutes later. The emotional hook is supposed to be Arthur's failure to manage his kingdom but this never got developed further. Instead we see some council lecturing Arthur in one scene and Orm's motivational speech about believing in yourself in the next. The Thor-Loki-like reluctant brotherly dynamics of Arthur-Orm is mostly about a competition of delivering funnier banters.
The film is a jumble of one action scene to another, but even if you count this as an action film, the action sequences are super underdeveloped. Most action scenes literally happened off-screen, and while the camera moves swiftly to deliver some speed when there is an actual action, it lacks the punch and impact when our heroes and villains exchange blows. The penultimate showdown with Black Manta is super short, and the centuries-slumbering monster-king of the titular The Lost Kingdom is vanquished in one trident blow.
I like the visual and some world-building of Atlantis though. Flashy CGI, beautiful flowing hair. The scenes in the bar, the underworld, and daily lives of Atlantean makes me feel like it's an aquatic version of Star Wars galactic life. Much potential here, but I don't know if it's something that the directors will tap into further in the next films.
For a final send-off to DCEU before James Gunn's takeover, The Lost Kingdom delivers its job as a popcorn flick Christmas blockbuster albeit with too much forgettable substandard story and action sequences.
Shit film by shit franchise
Did Aquaman just reference Loki and Azkaban in the same sentence? Lol
Mr. Wan, what you've just directed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever watched. At no point in your rambling, incoherent movie were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber for having watched it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
(H/t to Billy Madison obvs)
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom successfully bridges the gap between adult and child audiences, offering a superhero movie with universal appeal. The film maintains a delightful sense of humor throughout, keeping the audience engaged. Unlike some action-packed counterparts, Aquaman's fight scenes are carefully balanced, avoiding monotony. Black Manta's appearance resembles a Power Rangers villain, adding a nostalgic touch. However, the anticipation built around the ultimate adversary, 'The Lost King,' culminates in a somewhat underwhelming showdown, leaving audiences wanting more from this otherwise enjoyable underwater adventure.
It's amazing that they shelved Batgirl yet this was apparently ok to release. The most generic modern superhero film yet. I'd rather watch Batman and Robin.
Aren't they rebooting the DC universe??
Not a cinematic art piece but defo a decent watch. Give it a go.
Surprisingly entertaining. If not for Heard's off set antics, this movie would have been that much better. What little she's in is an eye sore.
Despite all the bad reviews, I think this is better than first movie. Even if Aquaman having to break out his brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) from prison and team with him. Reminded me a lot of the Thor The Dark World.
Throw in Black Panther where Wakanda make themselves known to the world. With Aquaman wanting to make Atlantis known to the world as well.
Amber Heard haters will like that she doesn't have many lines. I think it does hurt the film a little when Aquaman tells the villain to stay away from his wife. Yet never checks on her when she is hurt and she she is barely mentioned again :joy:.
I was into this movie more than the first thought. I admired the visuals in the first film more than I actually liked the movie itself. The Aquaman and Orm scenes of them bonding are quite fun and occasionally funny.
Aquaman and the Lost Abiity to Make a Decent Superhero Movie
A big step down from to the first film, which was already not great. Superficial writing, bland action, questionable CGI, and less than compelling acting from most everyone involved. I'll give Patrick Wilson credit for being the only somewhat okay part of the movie. With the material he's working with, somewhat okay is actually pretty impressive.
Really? Baby-pees-on-the-dad joke right of the bat? Spongebob Squarepants underwater physics.
I guess camp is James Wan's new middle name because this was campy as hell. Reminded me of Fast & Furious with how over-the-top and silly it is while being entertaining and funny. It's good camp, actually but everything around it is just bad; story, dialogue, acting, characters, emotional moments are funny, even special effects... and I don't think calling it camp nullifies this. Even the action I found forgettable for the most part.
Aquaman felt off as a character in this one but his interactions with Patrick Wilson's Orm was by far the best aspect about this movie, wish we got more of that. I actually think Amber Heard should have gotten more scenes because her character felt meaningless with the very little she got. Or don't include her at all. One or the other. The villains gave me Power Rangers villains vibes, not very credible but fits with the camp aspect I guess.
As a conclusion to the DCEU, it's even more disappointing. There were no stakes... felt more like a coffin than a grand finale.
Weak plot, weak acting,darn weak everything. Expected more from DC. Childish comics from the main character no real dialogue. Disappointing
it felt like I was watching a marvel's movie
I will stay away from his wife and child...
Was it a bad movie? No, not really.
Was it a good movie? Yes, but not so much of it. At least you get some laughs.
Jason Mamoa brought his inner FastX character here, and it sure did pay off...well for most parts. The movie tries to be funny, which it succeeds at, but fails to really take things properly when it comes to seriousness, especially around Mamoa's character.
In short, although this movie was fine, it wasn't really a major improvement over the first one. It goes on to show how the DCEU failed to learn over the years, failing to capitalise on the initial success of their early works with more proper storytelling. Thankfully, all that comes to an end now, with this universe now gone and into the books of "horrible history"
We weren't expecting some big, explosive ending to this universe because of how it's already set itself up. But I guess we'll take the lighthearted ending of the entire DCEU canon since it's better than nothing at least. The DCEU had its good moments, but it was ruined by poor writing decisions and questionable direction.
I am looking forward to the new DC era with hope. Bring it on DCU!
6/10
Back in the earliest days of the DCEU, when they announced that they were adding Aquaman to the list of heroes to be seen on the big screen, I was "really.... really....Aquaman?!?!?"
Yeah, he was still a joke of a hero, in my mind, back then.
Then they announced that Jason Momoa was cast in the role. Now, I had only seen Momoa in "Stargate: Atlantis", but even there, he was a bad ass. Suddenly, Aquaman was going to be less of a joke and more of a hero.
And then we get Justice League - and we actually get to see a BAD ASS Aquaman. One who loves a good fight and is fun to watch. (As well as an actor who is really enjoying his role).
So, of course, they announce a series of movies, based on the Justice Leaguers - and we waited. And waited.
We got Wonder Woman 1984 during the Pandemic (so you could stay at home and watch it. Or, be like me, and go to the theater and sit alone in a row, to see the film).
Then, the announce that the DCEU era is over. That some movies are being shelved/ had been cancelled (Batgirl & Cyborg), and others are will be burned off released in 2023 (Shazam; Fury of the Gods, Flash, Blue Beetle, Aquaman 2).
So, going to see this film was like going to see "New Mutants" in 2020 - the last of an era and not really important, in the overall arch.
Which is a shame, really - the movie was fun.
As I said, Momoa really looks like he enjoys playing the part of Arthur Curry / Aquaman. He adds his personality to the role, so that when you hear him give a war cry, you image that he just added it for fun himself, and not because it was in the script. There as less of Mera in the film - which is probably a way to give her character justice, while the public hate-on continues towards Amber Heard. Patrick Wilson continues to play the stiff deposed Atlantian King, Orm. (I had a moment, while watching the movie, where I imaged if they cast him as Aquaman. Then we would have gotten the Cartoon Aquaman I grew up watching - one who could talk with fish, rode a seahorse, and had a pet dog/ sea lion. And I doubt the movies would have been as fun to watch). And what's a hero without his nemesis - yes, Black Manta is back, and is a major threat.
The movie does pull elements from other successful films - yeah, I'm looking at you, the Faux Jabba the Hutt and the Max Rebo band. And, there was one point, in the film, where I almost tell where they said "Ok, this series is over - finish out what you are doing, and start saving things to the servers. We are not doing any major CGI post-production work" .
Finally, there is a mid-credits scene - but it doesnt promise any type of future adventures, but instead, plays off a joke that was seen earlier in the film.
Not the disaster I was expecting after all the negative press. There's nothing special about it, either. It's watchable.
A superhero movies with a humour mix inside, its the movies type that I like about. Aquaman and Ocean Master can fight together is good too. A minus only in the last battle againts King Kordax, too easy and no need fight to defeat him.
‘Common Cast Away, grab Wilson and let’s go’
Anyone rating this above a 4 deserves a firm kick in the kneecaps. Jezus...
And so the DCEU ends...not with a bang but with a soggy whimper. There are a handful of decent moments but it's far from the swansong that it should have been.
A movie to play in the background while you prepare dinner and feed the cat. A 4 for comedy.
more diarrhoea juice as usual from this series and franchise.
just lazy in every way. not worthy of your time.
Piece of crap movie. We have failed as a society.
It's typical DC fantasy fun (when they get it right), with a good story, CGI, delightful fight scenes, and nice music. I felt like it was better than the first Aquaman film, and I enjoyed that.
7/10 - for a little exciting escapism.
Colourful scenes + insignificant predicable plot = *checks notes*, ah... DC Films, it now makes sense.
I wanted to dislike it for including some amber turd, but said turd had barely few moments and most of them seemed flat and artificial, and often cringe.
Instead I ended up disliking the movie for nearly everything else.
The movie could conclude in 70 minutes, it also could use a much better script.
Everything is literally CGI. what a mess
this movie was so much worse than madame web how did it do better in ratings. 5 mins in i regretted demanding to watch this for movie night. this is why i never get aux
Basically, a cringe climate science class comedified for kids.
Probably the strongest point of the film is the ice dioramas at the beginning of the credits. ;)
What a shipwreck. One of the worst movies I’ve seen in the last few years, though I’ve probably forgotten which the other ones have been to be fair. Hopefully I’ll forget this one too. I hope Gunn can revive the DC franchise.
Okay, first off. Aquaman comics were always a bit hokey, so if you're not expecting hokey, campy and/or "dumb" jokes, you might not like it. In the comics, especially Justice League, he was only slightly less campy than Flash, but always the well built, healthy, surfer type. This film really sticks to that image better than any so far.
CGI is great. Patrick and Jason have great scenes together. Gotta admit I'm not an Amber fan, but she's not overdone in this so it's not distracting that she couldn't act her way out of a paperbag.
As far the "messaging", save the planet, that's always been Aquaman. It's not some conspiracy nonsense. It's always been the brand for this character since the very first Aquaman comic book to the 1970s TV cartoon series for Aquaman and the correlated Justice League to present. If it suddenly stopped? That would be suspicious.
Fun movie. 9 out of 10.
Though I rather enjoyed this i couldn't stop thinking about the Lich King in world of warcraft...IYKYK.
While Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom offers dazzling visuals and engaging action, its muddled plot and uneven humor leave it treading water rather than making waves.
A pleasant film, with a simple plot that offers fun moments, however, at times, it can seem a little cheesy. Highlight for the special effects, which are well done in most of the film, although there are some questionable points.
Film 65 (Goal: 300) of 2024
There's not a lot you can say about this tired and dead franchise. Aquaman 2 limps its way to and from cinemas, without much care or interest. But this isn't a case where an amazing film gets overlooked. Instead Aquaman 2 is a true reflection of the DCEU. Lifeless, empty and devoid of any of interest. The film tries to incorporate the brotherly journey of Thor / Thor: The Dark World and the comedy of Thor: Ragnarok. Even that style of superhero film is tired. The film is heavy on CGI battles that look worse than the first film several years ago. Nothing about Aquaman 2 is worth your time, other than being a DCEU completionist.
Ranking: 12 / 15 (Blue Beetle not seen... yet).
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: A Deep Dive into Disappointment
As Kiba Snowpaw, a Furry Alpha Ice Wolf from the mystical ice world of HowlStrom, where our stories are as deep as our winters and our critiques as sharp as our claws, I ventured into the human realm to witness what was promised to be a cinematic spectacle: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. My anticipation was high, my expectations set by the swirling whispers of the wind. Yet, as the credits rolled, a frost settled over my spirit, a chill of disenchantment that even the fiercest blizzard in HowlStrom could not surpass.
The Floundering Depths of Storytelling
Where to begin with the maelstrom of confusion that this film presented? Directed by James Wan, with a storyline contributed to by Jason Momoa himself, one might expect a tale as epic as the oceans are deep. Instead, we are given a puddle, shallow and murky. The plot, if one could call it that, seemed to be a haphazard splash of ideas rather than a coherent stream. Black Manta seeks revenge, a narrative thread as thin as ice in spring, wielded with the grace of a pup's first hunt.
The alliance between Aquaman and his brother, meant to be the backbone of this aquatic odyssey, floats adrift amidst a sea of undeveloped characters and motivations as clear as mud. The kingdom of Atlantis, with all its lore and wonder, reduced to mere backdrop for a spectacle that lacked the magic it so desperately needed to invoke.
A Tsunami of Clichés
The dialogue, oh, the dialogue. As an Alpha, I've heard howls more articulate on a windy night. The attempts at humor were as dry as the deserts of the human world, each joke landing with the thud of a snowball hitting a stone wall. The characters, our supposed guides through this underwater realm, were as flat as the tundra, with performances that left me yearning for the emotive depth of a snowdrift.
The villain, a concept as crucial to a tale as the moon is to the night, was as intimidating as a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf. Black Manta, with all his potential for darkness and depth, was reduced to a caricature, floundering in the shallows of development and plausibility.
The Icy Grip of Visual Dissonance
Visually, one might expect Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom to dazzle, to be a beacon of light in the murky waters of cinema. Alas, the CGI was as convincing as a wolf in sheep's clothing, pulling me not into immersion but into the cold, harsh light of disillusionment. The underwater scenes, which should have been a spectacle of color and life, were instead a testament to the overuse of visual effects, lacking the subtlety and beauty of the aquatic world they sought to emulate.
A Howl into the Void
In the vast expanse of cinematic history, where tales of heroes and myths echo through the ages, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom stands as a monument not to achievement, but to the missed opportunities and the decline of storytelling craft in the realm of superhero epics. If this is the direction in which the tides are turning, then it is with a heavy heart that I gaze upon the horizon, mourning the loss of depth and meaning in the tales we tell.
As I retreat back to the icy realms of HowlStrom, my first meme echoing in the chambers of the internet as a testament to my passage through the human world, I cannot help but reflect. In our stories, the essence of who we are, the magic we wield, and the adventures we undertake are sacred. They are the soul of our culture, the heartbeat of our society. To see such potential squandered in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a reminder of the importance of storytelling, of the need to dive deep into the depths of our imagination and bring forth tales that inspire, challenge, and awe.
And so, with a flick of my tail and a howl to the moon, I leave behind the world of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, a world that could have been a treasure trove of wonder but instead remains a sunken chest, buried beneath the waves of mediocrity, waiting for the tide to change.
This movie isn't bad but not good either. Something about this movie didn't really have that spark compared to the first aqua-man movie. There were way too many one liner jokes that weren't really funny which ruin the moment. The cgi wasn't as good as the first movie as well and kind of became an eyesore. Believe me there were some parts of the movie that were really beautiful but most of the time the cgi didn't really hit. The side characters felt really bland and I wished they had more depth instead of just being there. The story also felt rushed as well which sucked. When it got to the action I was pretty impressed and I was entertained so that's a pro.
Gone are the days of hero films being good. Nowadays they focus so much on mixing action with comedy, that it gets boring. They did this with Thor at Marvel, and now Aquamen at DC
I'm very disappointed in the movie .
Great movie to enjoy in a well configured dolby atmos and vision home cinema. Who cares about the script when you hear water bubbles all around you :)
No matter how much you polish a turd, that shit ain't turning gold.
As someone that loves the character Aquaman, I was always upset with the first one. It’s decent in both substance and execution, but there were noticeable flaws and inconsistencies. This one, I wanted to love it again, but it fell to the same plot holes and inconsistencies. Is it unwatchable? Not at all. It’s just worth nothing that it’s a generic superhero film.
Rating: 2/5 - 65% - Not Recommended to Everyone
Bad cgi - and this is like 99% a cgi movie. Dull story, like any other superhero movie. Laughable enemies. S.. No. Don't waste your time with this shitshow.
Rated a Connor 5, normal 6.4
Definitely not an Oscars performance or movie for that matter, but it was okay. Not really anything surprising story-wise.
meh, you aren't missing anything if you never watch this
Loved the cgi, liked the brother antics/redemption storyline. Surprised by how coherent it ended up being after reading all the rumors of reworks and tension between cast/director/studio.
The runtime is a bit crazy and i ended up watching it in several chunks instead of all at once but overall is an enjoyable sequel in my subjective ambivalent to Snyderverse opinion.
Hope Aquaman and Oceanmaster get a cameo in Gunnverse!
The first one is better than this one that's for sure
I lasted 15 minutes into this steaming pile of seahorse manure
I liked Patrick Wilson more in this one than the first, but he absolutely limped through that Necrus monologue lmao
Could have used more Mera #JusticeforAmberHeard
This was such a poor movie. The only reason I gave this a five out of 10 was due to the cast, even though many of them seemed to mail their performances in. First off, James Wan is not a talented director or writer. He should not be allowed to helm anything other than the garbage horror films he makes or the crappy Fast & Furious franchise movies he's helmed. He effectively ruined the Aquaman franchise for DC. Also, while I like Jason Momoa, he shouldn't be writing any films. He's not exactly what I would call an intellectual, so this film came across as him playing himself. Even Nicole Kidman's performance came across as comical, and she's one of the finest actors ever.
This movie had the feel of a '90s superhero film, and much of the dialogue came across as if it was ripped directly from an '80s superhero film, and none of that was a good thing. Seriously, what was w/ Black Manta's crew and their matching uniforms?!? It was a combination of old superhero films and the worst parts of 1960s James Bond films. At one point, this delved into a Journey to the Center of the Earth-type film. It seems as if they had no plan for this, instead just winging it, and this was quite distinct in the final version. It was quite telling, even from the very beginning of the film, where they joked about what a joke this film was. What type of director does that? It's even more concerning that this was the third version of this film, since the first two versions were panned by test audiences.
Black Manta looks derpy as fuck with that helmet.
Is this meant to be a joke?
A movie filled with action, I loved it! Love the singing sea creatures
it's fine, she who must not be named is barely in the movie, plus the physical training Wilson must've had to do is actually really impressive, the man is in his 50's.
6/10
Another dc disappointment
Honestly don’t know how to feel about this, 5, 6 or 7 rating? 6 it is. The cgi and costumes doesn’t do it for me, it feels to fake. The bond between norm and Arthur was well writing and played, loved that part a lot. The sea creatures are nightmare material, they didn’t even try to make them better looking. The manta storyline I didn’t like, in the first movie he was annoying and unrealistic. But now it was just over the top.
If it wasn’t for the end where did both said “brother” and the part that norm eaten a burger this would have been a 4.
Edit: the climate bullshit also ruined this movie for me, ffs man
King orm is look different as hostage from metal slug?:sweat_smile: and finally he eat a Cockroach Yuck:face_vomiting:
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom - :heart:x6
Let me start with the best part of the movie. It was the interaction, the back-and-forth between the brothers Arthur and Orm.
The rest was kind of a mess.
Wan seems to have thrown everything including the kitchen sink into this movie. The Sunkin Citadel felt a lot like it was directly plucked out of Star Wars movies with its own Cantina Band and even had its own version of Jaba the Hutt. Even the control room on Manta's submarine looks very similar to the ships in Star Wars.
And of course, we have the obligatory message about Climate Change.
And why not throw a few scenes of Land of the Giants into the mix - i mean - come on Wan!
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
I find the CGI and costumes to be horrible. Just looks so fake and unnatural. Boring story line and mediocre acting.
The rumour about Amber Heard's participation being cut was completely false. She was as present in the movie as any of the secondary characters. With that out of the way, the movie itself wasn't thaaaat bad, at least for current superheroes projects, but still didn't fulfill more than a decent movie. The plot was ok, at least continuing from the first one. The CGI I felt was a bit worse than the previous movie, but it may be my brain tricking me into it; although some scenes specially underwater where they CGI the face into an animated body, felt really weird sometimes. Some scenes where like "out of context", that they did it just to "look cool" or something. At moments, it felt like a random adventure movie like Journey to the Center of the Earth or The Mummy; which by itself is not bad, but in a superhero setting, didn't quite clicked for me. Acting meh as usual. No cameos or references to the already dead DCEU so an overall bad way to say goodbye to this attempt of shared universe. Let's see if Gunn's is more interesting, coherent and fun to watch. My official score would be a 5,5 but because of dear Amber's heavy involvement, I downed it to 4.
Made with recycled characters, recycled music and (judging from the subpar CGI) recycled post-production hardware. As such, kudos to the film for standing by its own environmental messaging... but as a film it's garbage nonetheless.
Not the worst thing ever, even watchable in some places, but overall forgettable. The whole movie feels more like a collection of random scenes, that they just needed, not as a story. Could be a result of reshoots, but that does not make it better.
What a yawnfest. They removed the heart of the first film and instead focused on the most boring characters in order to make just another generic broflick.
Has action scenes. And more actions scenes. Topped with action scenes. And just for some continuity, they sprinkled in some more action scenes.
Terrible plot. Even worse execution.
The philosophy of this was to jam pack as much meaningless actions scenes as possible. No time for anything else.
My first movie of the year, and oh my goodness, what a bad film. I was even sad because I'm a huge fan of DC. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me, even though it made me laugh.
Regarding the special effects, soundtrack, and stuff, I liked them. Found it well done and beautiful, unlike the Flash movie, but it didn't help much since the story was horrible. Anyway, I'll watch it again when it comes out on HBO Max because who knows, maybe by then I'll go crazy and start liking the movie.
Like sushi in a Walmart freezer when Aquaman arrives: this didn't speak to me.
The directing and action sequences were fine and the film moved along at a good pace but it felt like DC just wanted to get this over with so they could move on to the next hero franchise they want to bury.
Saw this in UltraAvx w Dolby Atmos w recliner seats. This is the pinnacle of how to see this type of flick imo. Monster screen with booming sound. Some good fight scenes, and the humour was solid. It's still a kids movie with 95% cartoony CGI. To be expected. I'm happy with the 5.8 I'm giving it. Expected it to be a little worse than it was. Pleasantly surprised in spots.
Standard save the world movie. No major plot twists here, maybe due to PG13 rating?
Punchline, action scene, Punchline, action scene, Punchline, action scene, Punchline, action scene, tragedy, violin and pianos, essemble, wtf, Punchline, action scene, war with million soldiers, redemption, final boss, false scare, just like the end of the rock, iron man, Burguer and coakroach
Run of the mill, save the world movie. Don't expect any plot twists. Stay to watch the credits
Pretty surprising to see people that praised the first one somehow have a problem with this, as I think it works better overall. Honestly shades of The Marvels with better set pieces and a step up on the villain.
I liked it, it's ok, they don't pretend to start anything, or close anything, or contact anything, totally independent, I liked what they do with the characters, 1 post-credits scene.
Saw this tonight, I enjoyed it. There was some great humor moments and the story between Arthur and Orm was good in my opinion.
I am sure glad I didn’t put too much into the reviews. So many saying it sucks which I thought it was decent and enjoyable. Everyone has a stereotype super hero. Well just sit back and enjoy 2 hrs. If you’re on the fence of going or not going it was worth it for me.
ma note 80 j'ai adoré excellent !
It looks like the DC Extended Universe will end with neither an exclamation mark nor a total train wreck. "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" is a pretty mediocre superhero movie, though it does have elements that appealed to me. Jason Momoa still seems to be having fun with the title role, and his interplay with Patrick Wilson also worked pretty well for me. Furthermore, the colorful, bustling underwater world seems extremely vibrant, even if the effects are not always the smoothest. On the other hand, the predictable story, which has far too much seemingly endless exposition, is rather underwhelming. Meanwhile, the villain played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II remains one-dimensional, and there's not much more to say about most of the other supporting characters than that they're just there. Overall, however, the runtime of about two hours flew by for me. The second (and last) Aquaman film with Jason Momoa is entertaining and enjoyable; nevertheless, it is unlikely to leave much of a lasting impression on the audience.
Story wise it is much better than the first. The ending is quite boring and just not there. Was expecting something big of a war. Amber heard appearance should have been reduced as much as possible given her scandals. Overall 9/10
worst show ever.
Total waste of bloody time and brain.
It's just outrageous how far out this is now and it's only going to be 90 minutes.
And another one that should be over two hours that only 90 minutes.

This movie is like the last Thor.. A bunch of friends (and A Heard) gathered to have fun and in the process trying to make a movie. The story is weak, the acting is questionable, it's shot badly and there is no colors what so ever for a movie in the sea. Jason is "playing" himself in the suit of Aquaman, Amber and Nicole Kidman are barely there (i am not complaining about Heard but the way they "handle" it is comical), There is no budget for William Dafoe, jokes are not landing. The villain is the worst in the history of the villains in the first movie, but here is just sad. SPOILER Arthur beats him up every time he sees him. Manta is always running from him (barely escaping) and I am suppose to be scared from him or for Aquaman? Really? Really? He has to die in the first 20 minutes when he discovered the forgotten kingdom and leave a space for a new villain that the movie hyped for us for 2h and kill after literally one breath of air been alive. The dumbest thing ever END OF SPOILERS
