Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom [DVD][2023]

Great movie will buy again can on time great value

Good film

Aquaman's back. Some time has passed since the end of the first film. He's not entirely keen on being a King. But he loves having a son. He's living a great life when he's home with his boy and his dad.But Black Manta is on a quest for revenge. Will he put the world in danger in order to get it?......TRIGGER WARNING: Film features occasional glimpses of Amber Heard, which will upset internet trolls.This takes a little bit to settle down. It reintroduces Arthur really well. But then a bit of exposition and set up is required. Visuals during this range from studio bound to very occasional location work. And some undersea stuff is done with back projection in front of moving images. This took a bit of getting used to.Not a spoiler to say that Amber Heard is in some of this. But only some. her absence works fine in context though.And some events do appear to have happened in between films, one little thing being a bit of a surprise.There was another surprise though. Someone I hadn't expected to see, and was really glad to. Spoilers.There is a point about a quarter of the way in where this clicks though. After that it settles down and has good narrative drive.The first quarter didn't feel like anything had really been reshot. And frankly I'm inclined to think that because the bulk of this, as seen in the trailer, is the Arthur Orm relationship. They have a good dynamic together which is fun at times. Patrick Wilson is great in the part. A couple of really good character arcs result.The Black Manta actor is terrific. Always showing just by body language just how obsessed he is. His side of the story results in a good arc for someone as well. After seeing the really weak villain character in the Marvels, it was nice to have a strong villain here.This does have a lot of ideas. It doesn't slow down much. But it does give everything enough attention to make them work. There is some decent jeopardy. High stakes. Excellent set design. Which all leads to an excellent final set piece. Which has jeopardy. Something I haven't always felt in some Marvel movies.One character does get a bit lost in the crowd. Spoilers. But the ending is good and does set up what really could have worked for a third film.I had a good time with this. I'm sure in the minority. But I'm used to it. I was entertained. And that's why I go to the cinema.There is a middle end credits scene. It wasn't setting anything up anyway. It's worth seeing though.There's not one at the end.The dvd goes straight into the menu when loaded with no ads or trailers.There are no extras at all.Language and subtitle options:Languages: English. Castilian Spanish. Czech. Polish. Slovakian.Subtitles: English. Castilian Spanish. Czech. Danish. Finnish. Norwegian. Polish. Slovakian. Swedish.

not bad at all.

great film

Not terrible but not too memorable either. A LOT of CGI.Definitely made for families/children,It's not the Zack Snyder's version of Aquaman from the Justice League. But, unlike the Joker movies, at least it stays with the DC comics theme. . worth a watch and to add to my Blu-ray collection (Again, unlike the Joker movies )

Great film

brilliant
