Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom — 1.5/5

Jason Momoa's Bro-Man is a compelling character! Guy just wants to chase chicks and throw back cold ones and do little circles in his motorbike. And so they saddle him with a wife, a crown, and a supporting cast that does not fit with him in the slightest. He's a big dumb thing in a big, undersea world. Surely, they could have found something interesting down there for him to play with. Momoa tries his best. as noted by his desperate search for a new two-syllable catchphrase, but it's obvious from the opening narration that the movie is chasing a reason to exist, a reason to be bigger and better. Might I offer: kill off all the things that are dragging him down.
