As far as 2023 action sequels go, this movie far exceeds the accomplishments of entertaining the masses on a much grander scale.
If you liked the first Aquaman film, you'll like this one as much if not maybe even more so.
Is this the greatest movie ever made?
No, of course not. It's not even the best DC movie by any stretch.
Is it decent enough entertainment for these holidays?
Sure.
Is it fast food and not fine dining?
Absolutely.
But the long runtime is one of this film's flaws for sure.
Could've easily shaved a half hour off this flounder.
As you watch, you will see so many scenes that remind you of so many other movies, good and bad: Star Wars Episodes I-III, and VII-IX, Avatar, even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
I know, not exactly awesome, but believe it or not, it's not horrible. It passes the time.
Jason Mamoa still has his charisma. And Amber Heard, despite everything else, is still absolutely gorgeous on the biggest of screens.
Don't just stick a toe in, or dangle your feet in the water.
Go ahead, dive on in head first.
The water is fine.
