Critics Consensus

Jason Momoa remains a capable and committed leading man, but even DC diehards may feel that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom sticks to familiar waters.

This confusing sequel drowns in the sea of baffling plotlines.

Where Aquaman felt original, Lost Kingdom is stale, void of all originality.

The Age (Australia)

Much as Arthur has learnt the novelty of being king wears off, a degree of creative weariness is visible in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Loud and Clear Reviews

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a new film, let alone a new superhero film, that offers so agonizingly little in terms of story, soul, charm, dedication, or even basic technical merit.

Rated: 2/5

The Cosmic Circus

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a movie so desperate to be liked that it appeals to no one. It’s a tornado of mismanagement, tonal shifts, a story that doesn’t make a lick of sense, and a complete lack of identity.

Rated: 2/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

The film offers another eye-popping adventure, and shows Wan will do everything he can to cram things into his movie but as an end to the DCEU it's neither really good, nor really bad, it's just a bit of a wet fish.

Rated: 2/5

😞 didn't really feel like finishing the movie. the main villian didn't last long and felt very underwhelming. The had some great moments but not good enough to watch again. I'm a huge fan of the first aquaman
