Aquaman Movie Review: The Early Reactions To The Jason Mamoa Film Are Here To Make You Impatient!
Updated : November 27, 2018 11:34 AM ISTThe DC cinematic universe hasn't had the critical or commercial success of the MCU, well except for Wonder Woman which reinvigorated fans however that didn't last long with their last outing Justice League being a box office dud, now the fate of the DC universe rests on Aquaman.
The James Wan directorial stars fan favorite Jason Mamoa reprising his role from Justice League along with a star-studded cast that includes Amber Heard, Partick Wilson, Nicole Kidman, and Willem Defoe ever since the trailer dropped earlier this year fans have been eagerly awaiting the film's release and now we get a glimpse of what to except thanks to Warner Brothers lifting their social media embargo members of the press who attended the early screenings of the film can express their opinions.
An early lifting of the embargo usually means the studio is confident in the film's success and if these early reactions are something to go by then this film was worth the wait, so let's take a look at the early reactions

It’s a comic book movie through & through with great action, iconic moments & visual spectacle to spare. Momoa makes the character his own & Wan honors the traditional aspects, but elevates it to the modern era. It’s a blast.

Huge, epic, unique, and stylish action-sequences balance the heavy exposition.
Movie isn't out yet but I want more from Wan, Momoa, & co.

Most of all, the movie is just flat out insane. I can't believe how big, creative, and crazy it gets. Gotta see it again! pic.twitter.com/m2oRbHVtu9

It was exactly what I was hoping for and I can't wait to see it again! I'll give you more details when I'm allowed! pic.twitter.com/FyeczAJJIJ

Can't mention plot or technical stuff, so I'll just say that Jason Mamoa is charismatic as hell in the lead and the film gives off a fun fantasy vibe ? Doubt anyone will mock Aquaman for talking to fish after this comes out. pic.twitter.com/EFpPJ3enmq

It’s at its best when it’s having fun and not taking itself too seriously. Black Manta is great villain that comic book fans will love. Some truly spectacular one shots and good action. pic.twitter.com/aTnc1QWk66

undefined src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" >Aquaman is a big, fun, wild ride. It’s unabashedly melodramatic and over the top with the largest, most ambitious sense of scale imaginable. Parts of it are kind of bad but they are not the majority and, oddly, still fit in with the cartoony tone. 2nd best DCU movie. YEEEAAHH! pic.twitter.com/3GLlK3uQJ3
