I completely forgot this movie was even happening. I at least saw ads for Blue Beetle and Flash, I have seen nothing of this. I have seen a trailer…the SAME trailer, mind you….for this wreck before every movie I’ve seen for the last two months. And I mean every single movie. Dicks:The Musical? “Oh yeah, and I finally got a job” Godzilla Minus One? “I don’t know how you did it, Pops” The Holdovers? “It’s the Black…Trident!” Anatomy of a Fall? C’mon, really…Anatomy of a Fall?! “Good king builds bridges (Mamoa yelp of excitement)”

So, ah, the first Aquaman made $1.15bn worldwide.
This sequel is kinda tracking more like, well, maybe around $250m. That would be a drop of 78%.

And thus the DCEU ends how it started, with a terrible movie.

And thus the DCEU ends how it started, with a terrible movie. Crazy to think Man of Steel came out ten years ago this summer. What a way to mark the DCEU's ten year anniversary, and Warner Bros 100 year anniversary for that matter.

Honestly, going by some reviews and reactions, looks like it's not really terrible so much as just a dumb action film. I'm good with that since that's what I loved about the first Aquaman movie to be honest.

Welp, it sucked. It was boring, the action sequences weren’t all that original and the acting was trash. Just not good at all.

Audience appreciation on RT is quite high. About 77%. I saw it last night. I wouldn't call it great, but I wasn't bored. There were some issues with the writing, and some comedic bits were a bit much, but I thought Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson had good chemistry, especially in some comedic scenes.

Ok, so I do have a question that's been nagging me about one part - {Spoiler}In the scene where Arthur gets Orm to eat the cockroach, was that supposed to be Arthur pranking Orm? Or is Arthur just a weirdo who liked to eat cockroaches and decided to share with his brother? Because with the way the scene played out and how they portrayed Arthur up until then, I really feel it could go either way. {Spoiler}

I saw it this afternoon, enjoyed it well enough. Still kind of bummed out that DCEU didn't work out as a whole, it did seem to have potential to begin with, but *sigh* Pretty sure I made the people in my theater chuckle though because I was kind of in a hurry to go because I was also seeing Iron Claw, and Aquaman 2 was supposed to end at the exact same time Iron Claw was beginning, but I knew there was a mid-credit scene and decided to wait to see what it was. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I was standing off to the side by the stairs, waiting for the credit scene to start, and once the cockroach started crawling on Orm's table, everyone around me went "oh no", then once the scene ended, I threw my hands up, said, "I waited to see THAT?" and left to run to the theater IC was held in. Hahah. Thankfully the ads were still running so I didn't miss anything

I enjoyed it. Probably one of the better blockbusters this year. On par with Bluebeatle. Much Better than the Flash or Shazam 2.
Momoa just seems to be having a blast which probably helped save this film.
Kinda happy the DCEU is over. What a mixed bag.
