AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM REVIEWS: 'Juvenile and formulaic'?

最終期限

Valerie コンビナート／複合体 令状s: 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom struggles with inconsistent character 描写, subpar CGI, and a 欠如（する） of narrative direction. A 決定的な 面 of any franchise is its ability to make the audience 投資するd in what’s next. There is 非，不，無 of the care put 前へ／外へ here. This universe is over, why should anyone care? 最終的に, it’s a film that has its moments but 最終的に struggles to find its 地盤 in the expansive ocean that is the superhero genre.'

Variety

Owen Gleiberman 令状s: 'This has already 登録（する）d as the year when the MCU つまずくd and maybe began its slow 落ちる from cultu ral dominance. But, of course, it’s not just Marvel that people are 疲れた／うんざりした of. It’s the numbing repetition of comic-調書をとる／予約する movies in general. It’s not as if DC is 免除された. In “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” all the talk about the 同盟 of the seven kingdoms, and the ominous 人物／姿／数字 of Kordax (Pilou Asbaek), and the malignant lost kingdom of Necrus wears you 負かす／撃墜する.

The Hollywood Reporter

Lovia Gyarkye 令状s: 'What’s most disappointing are the 火刑／賭けるs. Even as Momoa and Wilson leap, kick, fight, tease and save themselves and each other all the way to the Big Finale, the 演劇 of their story stays at the same level. There are rarely any 陰謀（を企てる） turns here when you really 恐れる that Aquaman might fail or that his 約束 in Orm could be misplaced. I can 解任する just one moment in which I almost gasped..'

IndieWire

David Ehrlich 令状s: 'Where the previous “Aquaman” was psychedelically high on its own 供給（する） and so eager to 最高の，を越す itself that it 結局 led to Jason Momoa talking to a mythical sea monster who sounded a lot like Julie Andrews, “The Lost Kingdom” becomes more and more formulaic as it digs into its mythos, as if the movie were caught between 存在 its own thing and 存在 nothing at all.

Collider

Ross Bonaime 令状s: 'With Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, we get the best and worst of the DCEU, but also a 思い出の品 that there’s still hope for these characters, with a bit more 焦点（を合わせる）, and a 思い出の品 of what 作品 and what doesn’t with this world. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom isn’t the wet fart of an ending that it seemed like the DCEU might be going out on, but it also shows that a １０年間 in, the DCEU never やめる learned the lessons it needed to. The DCEU is dead, long live the DCU.
