About the film:
Director James Wan and Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa - along with Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Nicole Kidman - return in the sequel to the highest-grossing DC film of all time: AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM.
Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father's death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down. This time, Black Manta is more formidable than ever, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, unleashing an ancient and evil force.

but I enjoyed it a lot, from the perspective of looking at some super exciting visuals.
plus Orm and Black Manta are cool and fun here, Orm being the stupid off worlder, but seeing him build his character, and Black Manta is just mean and badass.
Well I do like me some black manta. So it should be worth a watch just for that then.

*drops mic*
thanks for what you tried to do DC Cinematic universe, I was there the whole time, what a fun bow out.
I guess on to the next.

According to Deadline, Warner Bros/DC's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom only grossed $4.5M last night at 3,400 locations. The film's performance can be affected by negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with a rating of 36%.
The projected earnings for Aquaman 2 over four days are estimated to be around $40M, give or take. Comparatively, the previews for Aquaman 2 are lower than those of Disney/Marvel Studios' disappointing film, The Marvels, which earned $6.6M before a 3-day total of $46.1M, marking the lowest opening for a Marvel movie.
Aquaman 2's previews surpass those of DC's previous disappointment, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, which earned $3.4M on Thursday night, $11.7M on Friday, and had a 3-day total of $30.1M. In contrast, DC's The Flash appears to be a major success, with $9.7M in previews, $24.1M on Friday, and a projected 3-day total of $55M.
I will watch this, the first one was pretty fun, but I keep forgetting this is coming out, until I see things like this, it just seems so sad that this has no stakes, since they are wiping the slate after this and the DC Cinematic Universe as it was is dead, so this movie almost seems pointless, but I like watching movies, and like seeing good fun so hopefully this doesn't disappoint, but I'm ready to just cleanse my soul of this DC Universe and move on.
Warner Bros. has unveiled a series of fresh movie stills and exclusive behind-the-scenes shots featuring Director James Wan, Aquaman star Jason Momoa, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in his role as Black Manta. These images offer a glimpse into the highly anticipated film, "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," which is scheduled to hit North American theaters on December 20, 2023.
