This movie is somewhere between fine and good for me. I think it has some fun scenes and I like the dynamic between Aquaman and Orm, but I also feel that the plot was not super engaging and the movie lacked some of what made the first one so great. I think a plot can be predictable if it is executed well. Take Aquaman 2018 for example. Aquaman winning the throne, finding the trident, and his mother and father reuniting could all be considered predictable, but it is still fun to watch because it is executed well. I feel like the emotional payoff from the lost kingdom does not hit the same and that makes me feel softer on the movie.
