Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

I’d read this reviews that this sucked, but we all like Mamoa, and watched the others, and gave it a go with very low expectations.

Well… it sucked. It sucked with a suckiness that can only happen when a studio with deep pockets wants to spend zero on creative effort, tons on blue screen effects, and just make bank.

Acting was atrocious by every single actor. The writing was worse than some LLM generated nonsense (maybe that was intentional?). It was like they told Mamoa, “we got nothing, just be your goofy self”. Plot was idiotic, and nearly every major scene was ripped off from other movies/stories. I saw Mos Eisley Cantina, Jaba the Fish, Sandworms, Sauron, Mordor (spoiler, it’s the Lost Kingdom), hordes of underwater CGI Orcs, and a Cave Troll. As a bonus, Gimli took care of the Cave Troll.
