Unveiling Aquaman 2's Shocking Rotten Tomatoes Score: Why Fans Are Outraged!

Dive into the tumultuous journey of 'Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom,' exploring controversies, Rotten Tomatoes scores, and fan outrage. Uncover why this sequel is causing waves in the cinematic realm.

Aquaman 2 has released in theatres.

In a turbulent journey to the big screen, "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" faced a tumultuous ride. Its odyssey began with several delays, dimming the spark ignited by its predecessor's billion-dollar success. China welcomed its arrival on December 20, while the eager US and Canada audiences awaited its screening on December 22, 2023.

Under James Wan's direction, the film unravels a tale steeped in brotherhood. Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry allies with his half-brother Orm in pursuit of vanquishing Black Manta. Yet, amidst the pre-release hype, Amber Heard's conspicuous absence stirred controversy. Her diminished role as Mera sparked heated debates across the internet, altering the film's dynamics.

The Rotten Tomatoes verdict for "Aquaman 2" is out, painting a less-than-stellar picture. With a meager 36% score from 109 critics, a stark decline from its predecessor's 70%, disappointment permeates the feedback. Audiences bemoan a lackluster script and Jason Momoa's underwhelming portrayal in this new installment.

Critics' voices echo a chorus of disapproval. Valerie Complex of Deadline Hollywood Daily notes the sequel's shift towards cartoonish tones, diverging from the original's balance between seriousness and fantasy. Richard Roeper from the Chicago Sun Times laments the film's immersion in mundane villains and lackluster visuals. Even Empire Magazine's James Dyer, while acknowledging Momoa's charisma, deems the sequel a dismal farewell to the DCEU.

Surrounded by a vortex of negativity, "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" grapples with controversy stemming from Amber Heard's tumultuous legal battle. Her presence in the film, despite public outcry and petitions demanding her removal, ignited further turmoil. The reduction of her role left neither camp appeased, aggravating an already charged situation among Johnny Depp's supporters and Amber Heard's fanbase.

The film's journey was fraught with delays, originally slated for December 16, 2022, only to be thwarted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Postponed to March 17, 2023, then later rescheduled for a December 25, 2023 release, disappointed fans eagerly anticipating the film's arrival. Ultimately, Aquaman 2 graced screens on December 20 and 22, culminating in a bumpy arrival.

The star-studded ensemble, featuring Jason Momoa, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Randall Park, Temuera Morrison, Dolph Lundgren, and Martin Short, forms the core of "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom," despite the storm of controversies and setbacks it endured.
