Warner Bros’ Final DC Movie in this Phase: “Aquaman 2” Drowns in Bad Reviews with a Very Low 38% Among Critics

Share

“Aquaman 2” is here.

As much as you think the super hero played by Jason Momoa is impervious to normal elements, he’s not. “Aquaman 2” is drowning in bad reviews.

Right now on Rotten Tomatoes, “Aquaman 2” has a low 38% among critics. Most everyone finds the sequel to the 2018 hit. The film also stars Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and — someplace in there — Nicole Kidman.

David Fear of Rolling Stone lived up to his name. He wrote: “A tonal mess, dogged by VFX that range from “video-game cut scene” to “last-minute rush job,” complicated yet curiously thin storytelling, and endlessly aggressive rib-nudging”

Preview results tomorrow should be interesting to say the least.
