I enjoyed the second Aquaman even more than the first. The humor was reminiscent of what Marvel once was. Jason Momoa really embraced his comedic side. The repartee between the brothers cracked me up. I hope DC continues in this tenor. As Marvel dies DC could rise. Yes, the movie had a climate agenda, but it worked in the plot and consequently did not irk. Despite the roach scenes grossing me out, they made me laugh.

The brothers find a common enemy and bond as they fight evil. A perfect superhero movie. Well done! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
