As per industry insiders, who had the opportunity to watch the film before the world, claimed that unlike the prequel, which was an acclaimed hit, the second film in the superhero franchise is terrible.
Speaking about the film, an anonymous reviewer noted, “I’ll be honest, we’re half a dozen test screenings in, and it’s not looking great. I’ve consistently heard over the last half year or so that it’s boring, not as good as the first, and potentially one of the worst DCEU movies.”
Another disappointed DC legion wrote of the film, “It brings me no joy to back him up and tell you that test screenings for this [Aquaman 2] film have not been good.”
“I heard that something that almost never happened in test screenings happened with this movie,” the person added while hoping to see some major changes in the final film by the director.
“I don’t want to shit on movies, but at a certain point, when people know there have been a lot of test screenings our silence becomes pretty telling. I like Wan; I know he’s had a rough time on this one; I hope it works out,” a critic opined.
