Aquaman and the lost kingdom

Rated: PG-13

Runtime: 2 hours 8 minutes

Release Date: December 22, 2023

Director: James Wan

Starring: Jason Momoa, Patrick Wilson. Temuera Morrison, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman

    After failing to defeat Aquaman (Momoa) the first time, Black Manta wields the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes a very powerful force. Aquaman and his brother Orm (Wilson), form allies in order to defeat Manta. I thought this movie isn't a bad film, and conclusion to the DCEU. Although, Amber Heard is in this movie more than I thought she was. I thought she was only in like one or two scenes, but nope. She's in more than that. Parents, if you wanna be on the safe side, click here before taking the kids.

     This Family-Friendly adventure is about a young Willy Wonka (Chalamet), dreams of owning a candy shop in a city renowned for it's chocolate, embarks on a journey to becoming the amazing chocolatier! This movie I want to say, leans toward the Gene Wilder version of the character, and I think the execution was good!
