Well-regarded Douban reviews note that the film boasts a rich plot, tight narrative, and a compelling portrayal of the brotherly bond between Aquaman and his brother, Orm. The visual effects are still stunning, presenting an underwater visual extravaganza. However, apart from the effects, the overall performance falls slightly short of the first installment, categorizing it as above-average within the superhero genre, competent but not a masterpiece.
