It was a bumpy ride but, at long last, we finally have James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) may have taken his place as King of Atlantis, but the lingering threat of Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) means he must team up with estranged brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) to protect the seven seas. Sounds like a great setup for another hilarious Thor: Ragnarok-esque sibling team-up, right?
Sometimes, when a TV pilot doesn’t do its job of grabbing your attention, you’ll hear that you need to watch a few episodes before things get good. The first 30 to 45 minutes of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom are the cinematic equivalent of this phenomenon. Movies sometimes take a little while to get going, sure, but there’s a bit more than story issues going on here. The first Aquaman – and much of Lost Kingdom – works because while it’s not the best movie, Jason Momoa is having the time of his life so the audience has fun too. Let me tell you, it sure doesn’t feel like Momoa is having the time of his life in the first act.
Once you get past that first slog, though, things get fun for a stretch. Orm and Arthur have the exact begrudging brothers dynamic you’d expect, which yields quite a few funny moments thanks to Wilson and Momoa’s onscreen rapport. They’re the heart here, as was Wan’s intent from the beginning. None of this comes at the expense of Amber Heard’s Mera – she has a smaller role to play because Lost Kingdom is more buddy comedy than rom-com, but she’s still a key player in the story alongside Nicole Kidman’s Atlanna.

When Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is being an Aquaman story and leaning into the silliness and family aspects of it all, it’s fun. The enjoyable bits are just sandwiched between some ugly effects and a weird first act that feel cobbled together from a very different movie. The relationship between Orm and Arthur – and the rapport between Jason Mamo...
