Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Movie REVIEW

If we talk about the story of this film, the first thing we learn from all the trailers and promos is the essence of the film’s narrative. This time, the story focuses a lot on bromance and brotherhood, showing how Arthur has dealt with his responsibilities. The film also features the character Black Man.

This journey in the DC Universe completes the package. Speaking of the post-credit scene, praising it is quite tricky because it contains a small detail that might not make sense to the viewers. It’s a scene related to the film but not necessary to stay till the end just for that. I’ve seen this two-hour-long film in English and liked it. The Hindi-dubbed version will be released on December 22nd.

 So, let’s cut to the chase here. But before we dive in, a quick request: could you do us a favor and subscribe to this channel, like, and share the video? You know, it’s odd that Warner Brothers seems not too keen on this DC universe film. They’ve barely shared anything about it beyond the promos. From what little reviews mention, it seems this movie continues the story from the first part, pushing it further. Amber Heard’s character is summed up in just a few words throughout the film, sans any real dialogue. But, trust me, their role is memorable without me spoiling the surprise.

Now, about the movie: it’s more about bromance, exploring the brotherly bond deeply. The other characters make their appearances, perform their bit, and then fade away. For about two hours, they’ve tried hard to keep the narrative balanced. I can confidently say this because the entire film depends on the two lead actors. And let’s not forget, James Wan, who set a different tone in the first part, seems to have laid a strong foundation here.

When I saw those amazing visuals in this film, I couldn’t forget them even till today. In fact, if I were to praise the climax, the third part of this film, after Avatar, I wouldn’t be wrong. But then, from the perspective of Wan Brothers, they would be delighted because this film has generated impressive box office numbers.

So, moving forward, they might feel that this project should be managed well. Walter seems to have made it clear that this project needs to be handled like Mavel did. Walter said, ‘Just make it like Mavel.’ And the film maintained that same tone.

There’s an enjoyable aspect to the film, showing many great moments that I would highly recommend experiencing in 3D. The IMAX experience would be top-notch. However, there’s one critical thing here—the wow factor of the film’s expectations. Other than a few small jumpscares, which are James Bond’s specialty, many such memorable moments have been left in this film. If you’ve seen the first part, you’ll remember this.

Let’s zoom into a crucial point here. Honestly, this film lacks that wow factor—there’s just no spark to it. If we talk about the villain, besides Black Manta, who barely graces the screen for more than a few minutes, the film doesn’t quite hit those visual highs. But hey, it’s not a complete letdown either. It seems like this movie has gone through several rewrites and reshoots, making it feel somewhat simplified. However, judging by the current content trends, if you’re looking for a thrilling experience, head straight to an Aquaman theater. Trust me, it won’t be as impactful anywhere else. If I strip away the technology aspect, this movie seems more like a cozy watch at home. But, I’d strongly suggest catching it in theaters for those breathtaking visuals, don’t miss out on that.

Now, onto the actors’ performances.

 

I believe Jason really owned his character, possibly given a free rein by Warner Bros., allowing him to craft his own path in this film. And Jason Momoa, besides promoting his own brand, seemed so effortlessly relaxed throughout the movie; his presence is hard to miss. Now, as for Aquaman’s powers, all the hype built up in the previous Aquaman movie, well, leave that outside when watching this one. As for Patrick Wilson’s character, diving deep into the specifics might spoil the surprises the story holds. He does bring in some noteworthy moments to the film.

Aside from that, I feel like I’ve covered it all. If I praise this film any more, I’d probably run out of words. In simpler terms, it reminds me of an average flick that might fade from memory. Oh, and if you’re aiming for that 3D experience

Going to the theater is a must, you know! Without facts, this is just my opinion. Ah, my brain cells are firing! Let me dial it down a bit. Now, I was recommending you to experience this film in the theater, especially if you want that 3D thrill. If you ignore the factors, it will be much better. If you’re not into 3D, then watching it at home might be a better bet. In my view, that’s about it.

For the action in this film, I’d give it three stars. Now, moving on to the comedy, the movie’s comedy moments are quite good, bringing a smile in several places, so keeping that in mind, I’d rate it around two and a half stars. Talking about the drama, some quirky experiments have been made here, slightly more than necessary. Hence, I wouldn’t give it more than two stars.

Regarding the film’s horror appeal, there isn’t anything too special. It’s horror but not that scary. There’s not much to boast about in terms of horror elements in the movie. It’s taken the concept of a minor cut in the hand and made it a joke. And if I talk about removing the horror aspect, then the horror element in the film is quite plain and simple.

If you ask regular moviegoers, they’d probably be pretty happy after watching this film. For them, it’s just a solid, entertaining movie. Now, critics might have mixed feelings about it. They might see it as a good ‘B’ grade film, but personally, I’d nudge it a bit higher, maybe to a ‘B-plus’ level. It’s a decently enjoyable flick, especially if you’re into that 3D experience that’ll make you want to come back for more.

The film really focuses on that aspect, you know? But hey, that’s just my take on it. Feel free to drop a line in the comments and let me know what you think
