Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom - You know, if you just ignore Shazam 2, Black Adam, and Flash, and look at Blue Beetle and this movie, these were good fun movies to go out on for the DCEU lol This is much like the first one, it's fun, colorful, fantasy adventure movie, does all the things right.
I have no real complaints, like maybe they leaned a tad goofy in spots, especially the interactions between Arthur and his brother, Arthur feeling abit more..."Thor Ragnarok" levels of goofy, not that he was super serious in the last one, but tonally it starts to come across between him and Orm as that like Thor and Loki dynamic. Might be a smidge unfair to say if it's a superhero brother combo where one is good and the other is bad/contentious, it must be compared to those two, but these movies don't exist in a vacuum and studios like to utilizes successful things from other movies.
Good watch though, I'd recommend it. With me finished with the DCEU (Other than abandoning Shazam 2 part way in, I think this, the first Aquaman, The Suicide Squad (2021), and Blue Beetle are my favorite movies of the era. Parts of Wonder Woman, Man of Steel, and Shazam were fine. Everything else was either awful, or just middling to me. Really hopeful this next era of DC is alot better.
