The superhero genre has run its course for the time being, and I don't mind a bit. That doesn't mean that they've abandoned production completely, it's just that the big hypes seem to be behind us, as these films are becoming less dominant in the box office results. All that remains are some empty and shallow remnants of a more glorious past. And that's exactly what this Aquaman sequel feels like.
During an expedition, a hidden world is discovered. While exploring it, a team finds a mythical trident. He who wields it is granted incredible powers, but the full power of the trident can only be unleashed by freeing its owner. Its owner isn't a very friendly man, so Aquaman will go to great lengths to save the Earth. Etcetera.
The first film was horrible, this is even worse. The visuals are an absolute eyesore, Jason Momoa has zero charm (or comedic timing for that matter), and the rest of the cast should be embarrassed to feature in such a terribly written film. James Wan needs to do better, or just stick to his guns.
