This ship is good and sunk.

Jason Momoa in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom review

It turns out that Orm knows how to find Black Manta.

Buddy comedy hijinks ensue as Wilson and Momoa hit the watery trail.

Wilson plays the straight man to Momoascowabungabro-iness.

ThinkThe Mummy ReturnsorThe Legend of Zorro(except those movies didnt write out the wife/mother character).

Its a parody of itself that never feels real.

The factAquaman 2must stand as the final word on the DCEU is as dispiriting as it is appropriate.

Afterward, all that is left is still and quiet.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdomis in theaters now.
