AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM Movie Review 🔱 | Jason Momoa | James Wan | DCEU 

You guys looked in pain giving this review lol..thanks for taking one for the team 🙌🏿

Based on the thumbnail, I would guess that this movie *DROWNED* past expectations

I always appreciate Nick's input as the unofficial 3rd member of the panel. If he has to snap back to reality in order to stay awake in what is a movie aimed at his demographic you know something's up. This has been such a fun year with you guys at the movies! Hope you have a wonderful holidays and looking forward to next year.

Thanks for taking one for the team. Happy Holidays to both of you.

It's over. The DCEU is finally over.

I'm addicted to watching you two talk about movies. I trust your opinions. I hope Christy got her wings after fixing the chat to all from member-only option. LOL

That transition into the non-alcoholic beer ad was FLAWLESS!

I haven't listened to your review yet. But, I'm laughing like crazy at the dour look on your faces in the thumbnail. I said "oh no" anticipating a less than favorable review.

The 1st Aquaman was horrible. No way I’d sit thru this crap. The actor looks like he has BO.

But if I had to choose between this and Rebel Moon it would still be this

Let's remember that the director of iron man also directed Elf and made both films look effortless. They were not. He is that good.

Big Wet Flop was my nickname in high diving camp.

Once again, your thumbnail says all. 🤣

I never knew that about the casts ages! Thats worse than Angela Bassett being Chadwick Bosemans mom (even though in comics it’s explained that she isn’t his biological mother, but the MCU has yet to establish that). I will never understand Hollywoods obsession with making slightly older actresses the mother of actors that are only a few years younger than them.

Outside of the Trench sequence, I never understood why ppl liked the first movie which was too long, badly written & was an assault on the senses. This script is even worse & Momoa was even more Momoa which was a little distracting at times. RIP DCEU

When this film got its title I thought Aquaman & Atlantis lose kingdoms like people lose socks! “Oh here it is!” Lol

Did they only drink Guiness because it is made from fish bladders? lol

Well, I didn't wanna see it anyway, but you know sometimes I cave in when I've already seen everything else, or there's nothing else on at the time slot I'm free ... so thanks for saving me from making that mistake!! I'll go do some marathon training instead!! 😂 Hope yours is coming along well Christy!! Sending you both my very best wishes for a very 🎄🎅🏻MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎅🏻🎄

Oh no your faces! I'm so sorry.

As one contrived Snyder-verse finally dies another is born over on Netflix.

Very cool too with the background Christmas Trees...I noticed different types of ornamentations! Happy Merry all

I don't love anybody enough to watch AQUAMAN 2, so I guess kudos to you both for the dedication.

I saw Aquaman 2 only because my theater chain was *paying* me to watch it in the form of bonus loyalty program points. It is PAINFUL

You guys need a hug after this one

The Guinness deal is with Jay Momoa. He’s not a spokesperson officially but he’s a brand ambassador.

Don't need to tell me twice to not watch a DC movie! Curious if you guys saw Leave the World Behind? It got some good reviews but I really didn't enjoy it at all.

your faces in the thumbnail.... literally :(

To quote the Boys "You're just the Fish guy" lol And folks have the cheek to slag off Marvel....

The thumbnail for this video is a better work of art than the film.

Silly, dumb, and fun. I actually liked it.

Hello, any chance Christy & Alonso will review Leave the World Behind (Netflix) starring Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke

Yahya should have said nah nah to coming back to this movie.

Hey, now - Swooshie Blur is an American treasure. I’ve loved her since *_Slap Shot,_* and she should’ve been nominated for her work in *_Citizen Ruth_* in particular!

Thoughts on Amber Heard's presence, or lack there of?

Uh oh, sad face warning

Nobody wants to pay to look at Amber Heard for one second.

After just seeing the horrible Beekeeper movie, I wished I could get my time back and watch Aquaman 2 again.

Thank you!!!♥️

Hard to get happy after that one. Well, in town we have Godzilla Minus One, Anyone But You, The Iron Claw which all sound more intriguing......

one of the last reviews .... please let there also be a Rebel Moon one, that end fight scene made no sense

I literally hated the first aqua man, and was shocked it made a billion dollars.

Superhero movies are basically where hair bands were in 1991. They are on the downslope, people are tired of them and are ready for something new.

wait, Nicole Kidman riding a robot shark..... I'M BACK IN! Not gonna lie, but as much as you don't enjoy this experience, you keep selling me.

DC now has the opportunity to reset w/ Gunn and hopefully just focus on Batman and Superman as the main characters and have the fringe characters show up in their movies from time to time at most. Most people do not care about any of the other heroes as we have found out but already knew. Really take the time to make great movies with the two top heroes.

Watching it completely exasperated. Stopped half way and visited your review. I try and not watch reviews until I have seen a movie, but this one is sucking the life out of me. Phew, you hate is as much as me. There is hope for our planet 🥰

no review of george clooney's boys in the boat or zack snyder's rebel moon?

Wonka, Color Purple musical, and now this rubbish. I guess I'll stay home and watch Casablanca and a Judy Garland movie this holiday season.

Watched this today and I gotta say, Its not the worst super hero movie I've seen... but its not particularly exciting either. Patrick Wilson radiates charima and is a highlight. Shocked at how much screentime Amber Heard got. 6.5-7/10. The villian being possessed sort of lowered his agency a lot and somehow misc villian asian woman had a lot of screentime despite you not knowing who she is. (Funny, also how movie 1 had dessert sequence, and this sort of had another?!)... wow 1 and a 3? Lmao. Its not that bad. ...

In so many ways, this movie feels like a phase 5 MCU film, and that's definitely not a good thing.

Hoping we're hearing the death throes of superhero movies

2???? Floppapalooza😂

Haha one holy crap. I liked the first one and saw Expendfourdables which C also gave a one and it was ultrabad, doubt that this can be as bad but you never know I guess...

How come the Rotten Tomatoes guy isn't on these anymore?

Thanks for the warning. Sounds like this movie is going to belly flop at the box office.

Sounds like another Antman and the Wasp quantum binfire.

Did you guys actually think it might be good? Did you see the trailer?? It had grease fire written all over it.

The 1st was crap. No way I would sit thru Crap 2.

Wait, it's not solely Amber Hurt's fault that this movie is bad??

It's the End of Superhero Movies (And I Feel Fine).

Those close up "insert the line" moments are almost never good for me. I know that for certain people they love that kind of moment, but it's so on the nose cheesy, i just cannot enjoy it. For me it's an insulting and lazy kind of way to do it, that im conscious of and will never be like a clapping seal for. So many films i feel insult the intelligence of people with cheap tricks that are flash bang executed, but have no depth, so much so if the viewer was in the room when they were talking about doing it they'd be offended. That is why expecting more (in a reasonable not snooty way) isn't a bad thing. I don't even agree with Lonzo here with the talking to fish ridiculousness aspect, that NEEDS to be taken seriously because it's part of the core to the character 's abilities. and i always expect an actor and script to respect the character/world. Im one of the last people who thinks comic book equals wink in the eye.

Review Rebel Moon😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Copy and paste derivative style over any substance😂😂

Am I the only person who was chuckling all the way through for the ridiculous sea lore, sea politics stuff.

D i s a s t e r

It's a bad movie, but especially with Amber. It's makes the worst movie of the year. Why with her?

This went through three reshoots, two Batman & Patrick Wilson looks more like Aquaman than Momoa does.

Thumbnail scowls are the new thumbs down

The movie was y

“The Lost Kingdom” THE LOST KINGDOM?? It literally wouldn’t be possible to come up with a blander, more cliched, more boring subtitle if you tried. That alone shows there was no effort put into this film.

Good review, but, my man...easy on the word “like.” My teenage daughter doesn’t even use “like” that much. Unnecessary filler word.

Cant wait to see this - just to see how bad it is. RIP DCEU. RIP superhero movies.

Hopefully AI will save bad Hollywood movie scripts.

The movie was great. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

It is science fiction film about a under water superhero this is not real just watch it and escape

Rubish movie I've seen 😂

Oh no!!!! This is the saddest thumbnail I've ever seen! This isn't going to be pretty...

Clicked on this to see an explanation for your Rotten Tomatoes Tease. Crazy you're a top critic. 1/10? This is why no one trusts critics anymore. Worst of 2023. Talk about being bored, watch three hours of Barbie and tell me that is well paced or well written. This channel should be renamed fail blog

I'm glad the DCEU is dead. It was trash. There were a couple bright spots but it was overall just a creatively bankrupt disjointed corporate slog. I'm honestly still mad about Peter Safrin getting promoted. Nobody who was involved with these things should ever go near a DC movie ever again. I'm hoping the new movies will be better but I am not sanguine because David Zaslav is in charge and I am very much not a fan of his

Awful movie. The climate change agenda, product placements and bug eating promotion was all painfully cringing.

I didn't like the original, but it looks like a masterpiece compared to this garbage. One of the most boring blockbusters of all time. The only interesting thing is watching how obvious it was that they cut Amber Heard out of every scene that she wasn't absolutely necessary for.

I saw Aquaman two And… oh dear, oh dear. They start the film out by having Jason Momoa smugly narrate how good he is at one really important thing. He is good at “breaking heads”. Because he’s just that kind of Neanderthal. The film doesn’t mention his powers or stretch or even display the limits of those powers. And it certainly doesn’t praise his intellectual prowess or even his other abilities. This movie presents the main character as a brick, good for throwing at people and windows to get them to break. And they even have him smarmily announce that all this is because he’s “the king of frickin Atlantis”. And I’m only talking about the first two minutes of the movie so far. He narrates a lot, interspersed with clips of adventures that have to be better than this one because this film was lousy and lacked any sense of adventure. And the narration makes Momoa sound like a very over-entitled (and terribly stupid) lowbrow moron. That isn’t him, by the way. That’s deliberately how it is written, and how he’s supposed to act. He must’ve hated it. And as this unconvincing opening, commences, in the background “Born To Be Wild” plays loudly… possibly to remind you of something actually enjoyable. If it was an attempt to make Aquaman look like a tough guy, then it failed miserably and they might have wanted to try an AC/DC song to try and sell that hackneyed cliche instead. It doesn’t help that the very moment they are trying to present Momoa as a tough blockhead who doesn’t take nonsense from anyone… is the very moment they suddenly cut away to show him trying to calm a crying baby and play daddy; he’s just another useless man who needs a woman to take charge. That change in scenes immediately undoes any trace of what they had just tried to instill in the minds of the audience. Suddenly, you feel like you are in a rom-com about a single dad. The villain (Manta) is as one-dimensional as you can imagine. He has no talents or skills or drive or ingenuity. He actually sits around announcing things like, “Every day I don’t fix my suit is another day Aquaman gets to live…”. As if there is NO OTHER possible solution. He couldn’t build himself up stronger, or expand his intelligence and outsmart his nemesis with a clever trap or any other solution. Manta is a one-hit wonder on the subject of his power suit. That’s what he wants and all he needs and the entirety of his character. He could have been played by an empty suit for the most part. His arc starts on a quest to repair his suit and it ends there. Because he does that nearly immediately and has no other character development of any kind. As for Aquaman… he doesn’t need a suit. He gets his knowledge and motivations from cryptic dreams that just keep him informed on situations. He seriously relies on prophetic dreams from out of nowhere to chart his actions. And he is such a strong king, that when he informs his council of plans to save Atlantis from pollution and plague by revealing its existence to the world, his council tells him that they will reveal Atlantis when they decide to attack the surface dwellers… and not before. So he doesn’t appear in charge of his own kingdom. And the dialogue is so witty. “You’ve got 15 minutes to get in and out, so there’s no margin for error…“ and “stealth mode, engage…“ and even, “we can’t fight their entire army.” These lines are so generic, they could appear in anything from a recent Mission Impossible movie to an old episode of Charlie’s Angels. And speaking of tired, out-of-date women… Amber Heard is also in this disaster. Don’t worry, she doesn’t ruin the entire film… the film does that for itself. Miss Heard only ruins 37 minutes of this movie; the 37 minutes that she’s in. She appears to be playing a pissed-off fish stick. That may be part of the bad writing in this film, but is more likely to be down to the reality that she only has one facial expression… unreasonably furious woman, waiting in the dark for her husband to come home so she can hit him with something heavy. She looks like a cliché from the 1940s, just not wearing actual hair curlers. Her range is amazing in this movie. Not only can she play a useless cardboard cut out, and a very upset fishwife, she also manages to spend 11 minutes of the movie simply pouting. I’m not sure if she thinks it’s attractive, or the studio believes it is, but whatever the case… it isn’t even slightly engaging. It just makes her look vindictive. She actually resembles a guest on the Maury show, standing up in front of a crowd insisting some stranger is the father of her baby and that she will make him pay. She is so typical of a guest in that genre that they should’ve just cast her in a film about the Maury show. That might’ve at least been interesting. And even though the action scenes would’ve only been her picking up a chair to throw it at some innocent man… those action scenes would still have been more believable than the ones they filmed in the movie. And once she is proved wrong about the paternity of the child, the guests on Maury’s show act exactly the way Amber does. “No. That IS his baby. He will pay for that baby. Give me my money. I want my money. I don’t care what no DNA test says; that test is a lie. All these people are lying. You lying too. No!!! He WILL pay!!! Where my money? Go run and get me my money… now! Now!! NOW!!!” And then the hysterical woman usually winds up ripping off her wig, or her weave, and screaming on the floor while kicking and beating the carpet in frustration like a three-year-old. Amber should keep that speech handy… once the box office is tallied, she’ll be making that same speech to her agent. “Give me my money. Where my money at? No, you will get me my money right now. Now. NOW!!!” I wonder if she’ll fall to the floor kicking and screaming and ripping off HER wig. And all her agent will be able to say in response, is the same thing the men on the Maury show say, “What money, bitch? Don’t nobody owe you any money. You didn’t do anything; it’s not like you work. You just hang around doing whatever the hell you want all the time and expecting somebody to pay you for it. You a trifling hoe.” So even though there has been a blackout on reviewing this film, for some reason, now that the movie is out the reviews are going to start appearing. And I guarantee you nobody involved with this project is going to like them anymore than the studio does, or the consumers do. If Disney really wants to save itself and promote fairness and equity, the first thing they need to do is shit-can Amber Heard… before the smell of spoiled tuna gets so profound that it chokes everybody in the audience and makes them flee the theater.

One big fake critic review trying hard to find issues with magnifying glass when the film is simply great.. aquaman fans, peeps, don't listen to this.. do watch and enjoy

Aquaman 2 is better than that dumb movie DUNe!!!

You two really don't know what you're talking about. In a year with james guns crappy guardians 3, barbie, and a violent night Aquaman and the lost kingdom is actually one of the year's best movies. One of DC's best and definitely better than some Marvel movies You guys should do something OTHER then critique movies, because if you put this movie down ... I seriously doubt your tase in good movies lmao

I hope this movie does good but not better than The Marvel's. 🫣
