Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom exceeded all my expectations. The film has stunning visuals, awesome action sequences and a nice bromance/family storyline which is just heartwarming and fun to watch. Atlantis and all other scene/location/creature designs were unique and amazingly well made, too. There was great balance between underwater and land scenes, all of which were breathtaking, and it kept things dynamic and interesting. For me, the film had great balance between action, humor, and emotion, and I think the sequel was as good as the first one, if not even a bit better cause to me, Manta felt like a more interesting and threatening villain than in the first one. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom gets my 10/10 rating. (Dont trash on this movie just because of Amber Heard. Her perfomance was fine, she was shown in scenes where it made sense without giving her too much of a spotlight, but I prefer this over just suddenly cutting her from the whole story completely.)

The gameplay is very average in today's modern gaming generation. There are minor improvements from the first game and enemy AI is dumb as ever. There are more cut scenes and walking than actual gameplay. SPOILER ALERT..... they destroyed all of your favorite characters. They dumb down Joel's character on purpose to make him weak and stupid. In the first game he was very smart and had a ton of experience. He didn't even trust a guy that was sick on the road. He chose to run him over. Later we find out that stranger on the road was not sick and it was all a set up. They do everything to make you dislike Joel and continue to spit on him. They have a trans female/male shoot him in the leg and torture him with a golf club right in the first 2 hours of the game. They spit on him literally. They made Ellie unlikable and a selfish human being. She kills everyone and continued to blame Joel for saving her life. She let's Abby the one that tortured and murdered Joel in front of her get away with it. Abby also bit off two of Ellie's fingers. Her letting Abby go is basically saying Joel deserved dying. A loveable character who is the main character of the game. There was no justice for Joel. This game robbed everything from you just for shock value. The current narrative of destroying the male character to make the female character rise is very weak story telling. It is disrespectful to both genders. Females even hate it. Worst of all the pacing of the story is horrible. You literally play as Abby the character we hate for half the game. They tried so hard to make us like her but none of it worked. This game is a waste of time and money and should have never been created as a sequel.

Though it wasnt the worst movie ever, it still was quite bad. The acting was just okay, thankfully Leto was much better as Morbius than he was as Joker, but i guess considering how bad his Joker was, it isnt saying much. Anyways the script was a total mess and cgi and effects looked quite cringy and bad, also the buildup of characters and relationships wasnt fleshed out enough so emotional scenes had no impact. Also, a lot of the 5 star reviews on here are utter nonsense and apparently written by Jared leto fanboys or smth.

After having played it for many hours since release and then dropping it, I recently picked it up again. And my opinion has only been reinforced: cyberpunk is a game that could have been amazing, but instead of pouring money into marketing (so many lies and broken promises) and possibly into Keanu Reeves(?), they should have hired more people or taking more time in order to ensure this game could actually fulfill the goals they have set. I don't care about bugs, since they can be fixed. I care about the fact that Night city may be wonderful to look at, but after a while you realize how bland and empty and repetitive it all feels, the places, the people, the quests. There's actually not that much to do that's fun enough to be worth my time, and too many frustrating and boring things that make me quit and switch to another game. Never been so disappointed in a game (and company). I may change my opinion, if only CDPR would manage to give us all those promised contents (and I don't mean in the form of paid DLCs, I'm actually disgusted they dare to take more money for this hot mess of a game).
