Aquaman 2 is a very cinematic movie. In terms of the most intuitive feeling, the biggest difference between some movies and TV series should be in the audio-visual. There may not be much difference between watching the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" on the big screen and the small screen, but watching the movie "Avatar" at home and in the cinema must be like a cloud. To put it simply, limited by the difference in objective hardware, TV dramas focus on narrative, while movies focus on audio-visual. 
There are so many expensive movies, and a visual spectacle that has gone out of their way to create something that can only be experienced by actually sitting in a movie theater.
This is the case with Aquaman 2. This is a fairly pure movie, so pure that the plot is almost nothing, and the fights in all kinds of bizarre scenes account for eighty percent, from the boat to the sea, from the sea to the desert, to the volcano, to the glacier... Fights, in addition to fights, are still fights, and there are so many that people are tired of it. The most important thing is that the action design is not exciting, it is extremely mediocre, and the focus is mostly on the design of scenes and monsters. 
If you're a fan of DC, you're bound to be disappointed with Aquaman 2. Because the whole movie looks like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", like "Jumanji", and even "The Lord of the Rings" and even "Star Wars".
It can be any popcorn blockbuster, but it's not like a sequel to Aquaman. On the contrary, if you are just a passer-by, don't know Aquaman, and completely hold the attitude of going to the cinema for recreation and relaxation, then this "Aquaman 2" on the big screen will definitely be worth the ticket price for you. 
To put it bluntly, its lower limit is very high, so high that the creation of audio-visual is unattainable for many domestic films, but at the same time, its upper limit is also very low, so low that an audience who has a little pursuit of movies will complain about its too perfunctory plot.
Let's start with the advantages. Speaking of which, the merits of "Aquaman 2" are only four words: visual spectacle. When "Aquaman 1" was released, Wen Ziren used his rich imagination to show the world, and the box office of the film once broke the highest record of DC movies. Compared with its predecessor, "Aquaman 2" has worked visual effects, and the simple ocean can no longer satisfy Wen Ziren. 
So in "Aquaman 2", we can see Aquaman bravely entering the desert and rescuing his brother.
I was a little shocked by the strange creatures in the desert. We also see that Aquaman and his brother go to the sunken castle at the bottom of the sea. It was another strange scene, and the whimsical creatures gave me a little shock. After that, the two come to a paradise in the volcano that has been mutated, like Lilliputians in "Gulliver's Travels", followed by a jungle adventure. 
At the end of the story, it is even more soulful of "Game of Thrones", presenting the audience with a song of ice and fire.
Aquaman 2" continues to have non-stop spectacles and fights, which makes me feel as if I have found the joy of going to the cinema to watch martial arts scenes when I was a child, although I can't understand the story and what the lines say, just watching the villains on the screen fight around feels quite interesting. Speaking of which, a fairly apt analogy comes to mind. "Aquaman 2" is not like a movie, but more like a museum in another world, and the purpose of its existence is to let the audience see a variety of visual wonders. 
As for its plot, it may not be as good as the theme story that the singers have temporarily saved up for their concerts.
In other words, the plot that is too weak is the biggest shortcoming of "Aquaman 2". The story continues from the previous work, Aquaman and the Queen of the Sea live happily together and have a child. The plot at the beginning of the film is quite attractive, Aquaman has to go back to the land to take care of the children at night, and he has to go to the ocean to participate in various political meetings during the day, so that the audience can see an image of Aquaman who is sandwiched between family and work, but is still a child. I thought that "Aquaman 2" would take the road of realism, but I never thought that the plot would be turned upside down. 
The words are divided into two ends, and the villain Black Manta Ray appears, and he leads a group of scientists to search for suitable resources in the polar regions to strengthen himself, so that he can have enough strength to take revenge on Aquaman.
One more thing to mention, the grudge between Black Manta Ray and Aquaman can be traced back to "Aquaman 1", and viewers who have not watched it do not have to deliberately make up the plot, they just need to know that everything Black Manta Ray does is to avenge the killing of his father. Black Manta Ray finds a black trident that hides the soul of an ancient demon, and in order to take revenge, Black Manta Ray does not hesitate to sign a contract with the demon at the cost of his soul, just to get the power to destroy the Sea King. This kind of old-fashioned setting of making a deal with the devil, I can't remember how many years I haven't seen it, and I can't see that Wen Ziren is still a nostalgic person. 
The Black Manta Ray wants to use the demon's power to kill the Sea King, and the demon wants to use the Black Manta Ray's body to find a way to break the seal for himself.
The rest of the story is logical, the black manta ray, which has obtained demonic powers, is incomparably powerful, and caused trouble in Atlantis and seriously injured Mela, and then escaped. In order to find the whereabouts of the black manta ray, Aquaman enlisted the help of his younger brother, who had a gap, and the two brothers worked together to destroy the black manta ray and send the demon back to the west. This is the story of Aquaman 2. One of the few highlights should be regarded as brotherhood, to be precise, it is the shaping of the role of Wang Di. 
The grievances between the two are the main plot of "Aquaman 1", at the end of the previous work, the elder brother sent his younger brother to prison, and this elder brother wants to rescue his younger brother from prison for his own purposes.
When his younger brother, who was devastated in prison, heard that his brother was going to take him out, his first reaction was that he could not leave as a sinner, because he had already signed a contract with another country, and it would be detrimental to Atlantis if he left. This scene alone is enough to see Brother Wang's loyalty to Atlantis, and then his various good deeds and help to his brother regardless of his previous suspicions can be regarded as whitewashing his evil deeds in "Aquaman 1". Another important supporting role, Mei La, the role cut due to the actor's personal behavior is secondary. The queen of the sea in "Aquaman 1" will get such a high level of attention for no other reason, Amber is too beautiful. 
The stills of "Aquaman" can be seen in "Aquaman 2", Amber's old state and fat can be seen with the naked eye, her face looks a lot wider, and her beauty is greatly reduced.
As for the portrayal of the protagonist Aquaman, it can only be said that the character has been surrounded by painless jokes, and the character itself has no highlights to talk about. As an independent superhero movie, such a mediocre portrayal of the protagonist is obviously unqualified. Finally, there is a big slot, which is related to the decisive battle scene of the boss, which makes people not vomit and be unhappy. As mentioned above, the boss battle is a sight to behold in Game of Thrones.
In addition to the scene being placed in the polar region and the sky is cold, the ending of the boss is a direct tribute to the Night King in "Game of Thrones".
When Aquaman yields the Black Manta Ray, the real ancient demon is unleashed, and the final battle is about to break out... As a result, how sloppy the death of the Night King was back then, how simple is the death of this ancient demon now. played the whole game of "Aquaman 2", but collapsed when it should be the most passionate and the most detached energy, thinking that he was holding back hatred, but it turned out to be bigger. Is the budget gone?Running out of inspiration?Or is there not enough schedule?
It's a pity. But then again, there is no plot at all, and the audience may have been tired of watching the unexciting fights one after another. To put it mildly, apart from spectacle, "Aquaman 2" is useless. 100 help plan
