Saw an early Imax screening, unfortunately I didn't like it, everything that worked in the first film was minimised and everything that did not work they compounded.
Kidman didn't have much but she's a bright presence, set pieces were rather scarce and underwhelming, too much CGI , abundance of shaking camera shots distorting scenes, too much exposition trying to explain nonsense cutting the flow of the film and inducing yawns.
Amber heard had a large role in the film, Kidman has less screen time in comparison to the first film and did an admirable job selling us those lines but momoa and wilson had more sexual chemistry with her than with Heard I laughed in the mothering scenes between them because they looked like they either she or they were going to jump each other.
Anyways its a kids movie and hope it does well but I doubt it cause tonally it's all over the place.

Yes in fact most of Kidman's scenes are shared with Heard. Kidman has just that one action sequence that they shared in the trailer, the rest is just her flouting ridiculous dialogue like "global climate meltdown is imminent " or hugging momoa, Wilson or both (threesome lol)

we come to this place for global climate meltdown. or rather, "we come to this place to melt it down" on a serious note, a positive review from NYT is quite a surprise amidst all the thrashing: www.nytimes.com/2023/12/21/movies/aquaman-and-the-lost-kingdom-review.htmlI think this movie is an example of how people were so pumped up to hate it before even seeing it, like the world is such a bad place right now, people kind of forgot how to have simple stupid blockbuster fun in cinemas. "Big, colorful, dumb and very entertaining" is what I remember after seeing the first one. I expect the same from the second movie.

Honestly I expected this film to be firmly in the red ("generally unfavorable reviews") on Metacritic so its score is a nice surprise lol

Thank you guys for the updates, but i think i'm going to skip a Nicole's movie in teather for the very first time. The first aquaman provocated me an epilepsy attack. To much colorful, cut and camera movement for my taste. Not kidding, one of the most painful teather experience ever. And thousands little boy who hit my seat and screamed for the whole movie. This is not cinema for me. Maybe one day i'll give it a look just to say goodbye to Atlanna and her codfish costume.
