All the superhero blockbusters this year, except for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" directed by James Gunn, the rest of the works are all "cool".
After all, Marvel Studios has launched a total of three superhero blockbusters this year, namely "Ant-Man 3", "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" and "Captain Marvel 2", of which only "Silver Guardian 3" is a win-win situation for word-of-mouth and box office, and the remaining two are failures both at the box office and word of mouth.
As for DC, a total of four films have been launched this year, namely "Thunder Shazam 2", "The Flash", "Blue Beetle" and the just-released "Aquaman 2".
Among these four movies, "The Flash" has the best reputation, but its box office results are very unsatisfactory. And as the last movie of the year in DC, as the finale of the entire "DC Extended Universe", "Aquaman 2" has always been pinned on high hopes. However, it has just been released in the Chinese mainland market, and it has already suffered a Waterloo in terms of word-of-mouth.

On December 20 this year, directed by Wen Ziren and starring Jason Momoa, Patrick, and Nicole Kidman, DC's last superhero blockbuster of the year "Aquaman 2", began to be officially released in Chinese mainland theaters two days in advance.
For the film "Aquaman 2", it can be said that it has a lot of things that are worth looking forward to for global audiences. First of all, it is the sequel to the DC box office champion "Aquaman", and secondly, this film is also the last film in the "DC Extended Universe", and the film is also the last superhero blockbuster of the year.
With so many titles, I thought that "Aquaman 2" could create a very good box office result, and at least it should be collectively praised by the audience. Unexpectedly, it attracted a lot of bad reviews soon after its release, and its box office performance is not very good now.

After watching "Aquaman 2", some people said that if its predecessor "Aquaman" is an epic blockbuster under the sea that can be compared to "Avatar", then the sequel "Aquaman 2" is a very ordinary adventure popcorn movie.
After all, the previous work was so good that it was even called "Avatar under the sea" by the audience, but today's "Aquaman 2" as a whole looks very ordinary, so the audience will be very disappointed with this film.
As for how ordinary the film is, most viewers think that its plot can't stand up to scrutiny, and the characters act logically, just like the final villain who was defeated by decency after a short time on the scene.
Although the word-of-mouth is far inferior to the first part, and there are many bad reviews, "Aquaman 2" is not without its merits.
The special effects of this film are still very explosive, and the visual effects are very shocking, which is not bad compared to the previous work. But no matter how good the special effects are, the story is very stretched, it is difficult to become a word-of-mouth masterpiece, and it is difficult to create very high box office results like previous sci-fi blockbusters or superhero blockbusters.
In fact, before the official release of "Aquaman 2", overseas filmmakers were not very optimistic about it, and now its performance in Chinese mainland is indeed unsatisfactory, the box office on the first day of release is only more than 30 million yuan, and the final total box office is expected to not exceed 300 million yuan. It seems that the DC universe has been completely cool, and the final chapter has failed to save some face for DC.
What do you DC fans think about this?
