Part 5/7:
Popular critic Grace Randolph publicly mentioned her concern about the movie, citing her sources that reveal audience members leaving screenings in frustration. The rumors have persisted for months, with some reports suggesting that Amber Heard’s scenes—initially supposed to be around 20 minutes—were drastically cut down during post-production, possibly to improve the film’s chances.
The Overall Outlook for the Film
Given the string of recent failures and the overwhelmingly negative buzz, expectations are bleak. The trailer, while showcasing some visuals, failed to inspire excitement; instead, it reinforced doubts about the movie’s quality. With all these issues—costly reshoots, negative test reactions, lingering controversies—Aquaman 2 appears destined for financial disappointment.
