‘Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom’ Review – One of Us
The DCEU isn’t in great shape right now. Can Aquaman save the day? Check out One of Us crew’s Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom review.
Jason Momoa takes one last turn as the King of Atlantis in this follow-up to 2018’s Aquaman. This time around, he and Mera (Amber Heard) have had a child and rearing them takes about as much out of Aquaman as does being the King of the undersea empire. But thank goodness, chaos erupts and he has to go punch things when Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) returns.
Still out for revenge for the death of his father, Manta makes a deal with an ancient entity and enemy of Atlanteans to grant him immense green-tinted power. This also comes with the side effect of rapidly speeding up the global warming timeline and there’s only one way to find him and put a stop to his dastardly deeds: free his brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) from the prison he put him in.
Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom Review
So what you got here is a mismatched buddy comedy at its top form, and another dull cg slug-fest at it’s almost worst. I say ‘almost’ because a lot of the script is…woof. Chris, Kim, and Nathan don’t exactly see things the same on this one (guesses who the outlier is) but it makes for a fun review of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
