"Aquaman 2" Scores 7.0 on Douban: Visual Effects Still Top-Notch, A Decent Superhero Flick
2023-12-21
Concluding the DCEU, the final visual spectacle of 2023, "Aquaman 2," has received a Douban rating of 7.0. With an opening score of 7.0 from a total of 18,500 viewers, 35.5% awarded 3 stars, making it the highest percentage, followed by 29.5% of viewers giving it a 4-star rating.
In terms of box office, "Aquaman 2" earned 36.55 million RMB on its first day in mainland China, a sharp 76.6% drop from the first day of "Aquaman 1," which grossed 156.8 million RMB.
Well-regarded Douban reviews note that the film boasts a rich plot, tight narrative, and a compelling portrayal of the brotherly bond between Aquaman and his brother, Orm. The visual effects are still stunning, presenting an underwater visual extravaganza. However, apart from the effects, the overall performance falls slightly short of the first installment, categorizing it as above-average within the superhero genre, competent but not a masterpiece.
The story unfolds as Black Batfish, unsuccessful in defeating Aquaman in the past, remains determined to avenge his father. This time, he discovers the legendary Trident of Darkness, unleashing ancient evil forces more formidable than ever. To counter this threat, Aquaman seeks help from his imprisoned brother, Orm, forming an unexpected alliance. They must set aside past grievances, stand together in battle, and defend the kingdom from the impending disaster to save their family and the world.
