Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom : What is it about ?

In France, it notably collected a press score of 1.7 out of 100. AlloCiné. “This second part dedicated to the most sailor of superheroes suffers from an overly simplistic story, very questionable humor and invasive special effects.“, écrit The Parisian. Widescreen Don’t mince your words either: “Each DC film has its nuance of rotten blockbuster. After the nothingness of “Shazam 2” and the self-destruction of “The Flash”, it’s time for the Z series at more than 200 million dollarss”.
Un flop au box-office

The latter has also become one of the biggest successes at the world box office.
