Aquaman 2: Among DCEU’s Lowest Rotten Tomatoes Scores
Aquaman 2’s Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed, sparking concerns about the DCEU’s conclusion. The highly anticipated sequel faced its fair share of challenges leading up to its release, notably with star Amber Heard embroiled in controversy amid her legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp. Despite numerous setbacks, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is set to hit theaters on December 22, 2023.
Early reviews for Aquaman 2 have surfaced, and the initial Rotten Tomatoes score stands at 37%, making it one of the lowest-rated DCEU movies. It finds itself sandwiched between the critically panned Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (29%) and the somewhat higher-rated Black Adam (38%). This places Aquaman 2 at the bottom of the DCEU’s 2023 releases, trailing behind Shazam! Fury of the Gods (49%) and The Flash (63%). Interestingly, Blue Beetle has emerged as one of the best-rated movies in the franchise, boasting a robust 78% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The critical reception of Aquaman 2 raises questions about the future of the DCEU and its potential impact on the franchise’s conclusion. With Warner Bros. showing no immediate plans to continue the DCEU, the studio likely hoped for a spectacular send-off. Jason Momoa, who portrays the iconic character, has expressed his desire to revisit the role, but the film’s commercial success remains a crucial factor. The first Aquaman movie achieved global success, surpassing $1 billion in box office revenue. However, the sequel’s initial critical reception suggests a more muted farewell to the cinematic universe.
While the film’s ultimate box office performance remains uncertain, initial negative reviews can have a lasting impact. The audience’s response, often reflected in the audience score, may differ from the Tomatometer rating. Aquaman 2’s fate at the box office will be closely watched, particularly in comparison to The Marvels, a competing superhero film.
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the critical reception adds an element of suspense to the DCEU’s conclusion. The film’s box office debut on December 22, 2023, will determine whether it can overcome the challenges posed by early reviews and contribute positively to the legacy of the DCEU.
