Why Aquaman 2’s Reviews Are So Negative
The early reviews cite poor redaction , a tedious story , and messy piece of writing as being the low point ofAquaman and the Lost Kingdom , though the natural process sequences have earn praise . Generally , the fears surrounding the movie ’s performance with regard to it being inconsequent to a wider story now that the DCEU has pass to a conclusion have been well - launch . Just as superhero weariness seems to be plaguing audiences right on now , it feels as though the moving-picture show has also suffered from a similar lack of interest on the part of the producers .
It is n’t entirely unsurprising thatAquaman and the Lost Kingdomhas underperform critically . The writing was on the wall as stories about the picture show ’s messy output emerged over the last several months . While there is no doubt thatAquaman and the Lost Kingdomwill offer spectacle in nigra , it seems that the worries of the DCEU fizzling out with its last offering alas bore fruit . Now , at least , the DCU can possibly pick up the slack whenSuperman : Legacyreleases in 2025 .
