Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPart of Orm's imprisonment involved placing him in a dry environment and rationing his water to rob him of his natural Atlantean strength. This reflects a weakness from the comics where Aquaman couldn't be out of the water for much more than an hour (this was adjusted to be more of a logical weakness over the years, and was eventually removed in 2011).
- GoofsEven though there's on screen title states "Five Months Later," Arthur Jr. Does not appear to have aged at all.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene in the closing credits: Orm puts a live cockroach in his cheeseburger and savors the taste.

Featured review
Rating: 5/10
Format: Regular Theatre
A script that doesn't have any story to hold it tight together. It's a very interesting story that discusses many aspects like family, brotherhood, fatherhood, and leadership. But, perhaps this was its core problem, that it was trying to be so many things at the same time. At times i didn't know where the story was heading which made the story jump from discussing topics like fatherhood to an adventure with two brothers who had beef in their past. The film is unfortunately a typical superhero film in terms of expecting what's coming next from events, and sequences.
On top of that and with all the chaos, the film re-discusses the villain's story which revolves around his revenge but it was so weak comparing to how it was in the first film. I didn't feel his presence nor i felt his evilness. He was suppose to be much stronger here but i barely felt him. The film also brings back old characters that just all of a sudden showed up in some sequences to save the day and be the superhero of the act which felt so weird because they came out of nowhere.
The film's CGI is okay at most times. It's defiantly not as good as the first one but it is for sure better than most of the MCU's latest projects this year like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). The cinematography unfortunately got downgraded which is something that I was anticipated for especially after seeing the first part. But I felt like there was no room for that because of how messy the sequences and story was especially that we were jumping between the past and present a lot and from one place to another.
Not to mention, the whole last sequence of the film was so good in terms of the action sequences and grabbing the audience's attention. Really got me hooked and interested and wished if the rest was like that.
