Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)

Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom Was Flawed But Still Pretty Good Overall

[7/10 · 20 December 2023]

7.5/10 I love the first Aquaman when i first watch it in the theaters, and i recently watch it for the second time and unfortunately i have more criticism in my second watch and thought that it was just an ok superhero movie, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom however, the sequel of the film was pretty good overall, still not without it flaws, but i felt more engaged in this one a bit more, mostly because we already know about Aquaman and now his new family, and what happen to his half-brother Orm, his new but also past villain Black Manta is back and i also felt more threat from him than Orm in the first movie, my only big major problem was the pacing of the movie, even though it shorter i feel like they should put more exciting and threatening scene and less of a slow scene that are important but they could make it shorter, i thought all the performances was fine, and the best thing of the film was simply the chemistry between Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson as their character in this movie, it's a pretty fun love hate relationship, exciting at times, and emotional too which is something that i don't really get that powerful in the first movie, i enjoy the first 30 minutes of the film then it's getting pretty slow in the middle with some things happen here and there, and then the last 45 minutes i started to getting into it again, while the last battle was not as amazing as the first one, it's still pretty great, not forget to mention about the visual and special effects both the first and in this one was always stunning, so overall Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom was flawed but still pretty good, i do like it better than the first one in a way, and having a pretty good superhero movie these days was getting rarer and rarer so i'm glad to actually getting an enjoyment from it.
