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.

Jenny Nulf

Austin Chronicle

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

Rated: 2/5

James Berardinelli

ReelViews

The Aquaman sequel feels like it was mostly constructed in post-production, with CGI working hand-in-hand with editing to fashion something borderline-coherent.

Rated: 2/4

Jake Wilson

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Luke Goodsell

ABC News (Australia)

Any movie teeming with fantastical ocean creatures, neon-streaked underwater metropolises and Nicole Kidman riding a cybernetic shark should be a blast of escapism, but the Lost Kingdom never transcends the tedium of its weightless green screen action.

Matt Brunson

Film Frenzy

It opens with one character getting blasted in the face by a stream of baby urine and ends with another cheerfully munching on a live cockroach. I can’t recall, but did, say, Captain America or Doctor Strange ever have to suffer such indignities?

Rated: 1.5/4

Fat Guys at the Movies

It appears to suffer from multiple forms of meddling and overdone CGI, failing to capture the charm of its predecessor.

Rated: 1.5/4
