## Review: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom exceeded all my expectations. The film has stunning visuals, awesome action sequences, and a nice bromance/family storyline, which is just heartwarming and fun to watch. Atlantis and all other scene, location, and creature designs were unique and amazingly well made, too.
There was a great balance between underwater and land scenes, all of which were breathtaking, and it kept things dynamic and interesting. For me, the film had great balance between action, humor, and emotion, and I think the sequel was as good as the first one, if not even a tad bit better, because to me, Manta felt like a more interesting and threatening villain than in the first one.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is definitely a worthy sequel, and then some to 2018’s Aquaman. James Wan really went and made the two best DCEU films. An epic fantasy duology about two brothers attempting to reconcile while being pulled apart by two separate worlds. Incredible visuals, from production design to creature design, and the world building is so well done.
Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson are a perfect duo, and watching them chew scenery is one of the best parts of this movie.
