Daily Express (UK)
“After a year of mediocre box office disappointments for comic book movies, 2023 ends with the most pointless of them all.” -George Simpson
Rolling Stone
“A tonal disaster plagued by visual effects that range from 'video game cutscenes' to 'last minute rush jobs,' intricate but strangely thin narratives, and endlessly aggressive prodding.” – David Angst
New York Post
“In every second of the sequel you can see how uninterested DC Studios is in this film and the future of this character.” -Johnny Oleksinski
Empire Magazine
“Despite Momoa's charismatic turn and some funny banter between the enemies, this is a disappointing farewell that sees the DCEU farewell with silence rather than lightning.” -James Dyer
cnn
“Director James Wan lacks the sense of discovery and world-building that drove the original, settling for a kind of misguided buddy comedy. Whatever the intention, this doesn't seem to be the answer to helping superhero films out of their slump.” -Brian Lowry
Times (UK)
“Momoa's performance, like Chris Hemsworth's as Thor, provides diminishing returns (he has muscles, jokes, moves his hair), while the overuse of CGI would put a charging rhino to sleep.” -Kevin Maher.
Above the line
“No part of this film (the effects, the plot, the emotional core) works. Everything is recycled from other superhero films. “It’s time to give the genre a burial at sea.” – J. Don Birnam.
Consequence
“Did anyone involved in the making of Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom even want to make an Aquaman movie? Even Jason Momoa, a guy whose entire mood is “I'm happy to be here,” clearly struggles to get any sense of joy out of a scene.” -Liz Shannon Miller
BBC
“The problem is that Momoa's strength as an actor is natural and physical, whereas in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom nothing seems real.” -Nicholas Barber
Independent (UK)
“Another reminder that cinema is caught in a corporate strangulation that deprives artists of the opportunity to continue to show their style.” – Clarisse Loughrey
