Aquaman 2 is like… Thor Ragnarok crossed with a Step Brothers/Rush Hour fusion spliced with the first Aquaman movie. Could’ve been worse but it could’ve been a lot better too. Solid 7/10. 6/10 on its worst day.

#biggest issue with the movie is pacing #Like first we start off with Arthur adjusting to being a dad and the king of Atlantis #then very quickly we switch to Manta finding the evil macguffin then freeing Ocean Master to get his help #then we're learning the backstory of the evil trident then we're at the big finale! It’s too fast!#Faster than Barry Allen running to his death in Crisis on Infinite Earths!#Other issue is the plot itself.#On paper it’s not bad but… it feels like some stuff was cut truncated moved around #I wonder if the Depp-Heard drama played a part in that cause it feels like Mera was supposed to be here more.#Tis a wonder #on the brighter side I still love Momoa as Aquaman #He’s probably far from how he is in the books but he’s a fun ass action hero.#His buddy cop brothers dynamic with Orm came a little too fast imo but it was great.#Black Manta is as great as ever too and honestly #I’m a little ashamed it took me this long to realize he has long earned a spot on the “Hatin Ass Nigga Hall of Fame”#Right up there with Reverse Flash and Lex Luthor.#Dude deadass got possessed by an underwater Lich King and it barely did anything but make him stronger.#He’s just THAT MUCH OF A HATER!#Also hes Kilmonger if Kilmonger were good.#all in all not a must watch but not the worst way to pass a few hours either #aquaman #aquaman 2 #aquaman the lost kingdom #dc comics
