The 554th film I have seen in theaters…

No king rules forever…

Black Manta finds a magical trident that channels the power of an evil Atlantean necromancer. Aquaman must stop him.

… and thus ends the “Snyderverse”. Not a great movie, but I did enjoy Momoa. If you like his schtick, you’ll enjoy the film. I do like that they kept the “odd couple on a road trip” vibe from the first film as Patrick Wilson was a good Ocean Master. Black Manta was again, somehow, wasted despite being the central villain. Goodbye Arthur Curry! Let’s hope you are revived as Lobo.
