#Aquaman is Avatar meets Jupiter Ascending, with hints of The Lord Of The Rings, Indiana Jones and a triple AAA video game. There’s also an Octopus who plays the drums. I loved it

So probably to all of like 6 people's surprise, Aquaman looked fantastic, great spectacle and effects, but DC still hasn't made a quality story since WW that isn't a cliche followed by cliche followed by cliche.
Still, James Wan is fricking CUTE 11/10 Would admire again

Short & sweet reaction to #Aquaman is that I loved it. 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.

#Aquaman is great. James Wan made a really unique super hero origin film, often crossing into fantasy-epic territory, but grounded in family and discovery.
The world is visually incredible. Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry is a total bad-arse. @yahya and @patrickwilson73 stand out!

#Aquaman is AWESOME & absolutely delivers! Not only is @prideofgyypsies the King of Atlantis, but also the newly crowned King of the DCEU! ???? I can't wait to see it again!

?? #Aquaman is better than expected. Feels like a Marvel phase one movie, in a good way. 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.

#Aquaman was an absolute blast, from the charm of Momoa's Arthur Curry, to the spectacular visuals to the fun that it was clear that everyone was having. 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!

Aquaman is a breathtakingly beautiful, weird, badass, FUN idea of a modern superhero fantasy (anime) and makes zero apologies. Second half's one cheer/laugh after another.
Imagine '80s Schwarzenegger starring in "Hideo Kojima's AVATAR" and you're most of the way there. #Aquaman

Excited I can now say how much I enjoyed #Aquaman! It's a cool adventure built on some tremendous action sequences and set pieces, with a great hero arc/performance from Jason Momoa as the glue. There's fun world building, and it looks wonderful. A great step for the DCEU.

#Aquaman is ... good! It's certainly greater than the sum of its parts. It's chock full of ridiculous elements but it’s all so inherently bonkers that you’d have to be an utter killjoy to not get caught up in it

#Aquaman was outstanding. James Wan definitely loves the character and brings audiences one of the most unique super hero origin films in years. Tonally it strikes the right line! Feeling very similar to Sam Rami’s Spider-Man

@JordanESamuel
There is definitely flaws with #Aquaman but I had so much fun in the cinema! James Wan doesn’t play around with signature visuals, energy and overall tonal consistency.
Jason Momoa is the king of water (Cannot wait to see him excel more in future instalments)

Saw #Aquaman before thanksgiving and had a week to think about it. It's flawed, but fun. Momoa and Patrick Wilson are absolute gems. 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!

I will never, ever, ever trust early media reactions to any movie ever again.
Especially any in the DCU.

Almost every superhero movie is cliche after cliche. It's in the way those cliches are packaged and delivered make the difference.

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!

Paul Shirey ? @arcticninjapaul
I’ll take some heat for this, but #Aquaman is the best Marvel movie that DC has made. That doesn’t mean it’s exactly like that formula, but it feels like a film that knows what it is, what it’s selling and who it’s selling to. There’s no identity crisis here.

#Aquaman is the best DC movie since The Dark Knight.@creepypuppet delivers a swashbuckling epic full of big emotion, gorgeous undersea visuals, exciting action, and lots of laughs. WB should be handing the DCEU reins to James Wan, he's proven he can, ahem, right the ship.

I've seen #Aquaman twice, no THREE times. It's the best movie ever made! And I'm not just saying that to piss off the message board trolls who's only response is "Like I'm going to trust these reviews." It's better than Dark Knight and Infinity War combined!

WW was an okay movie. DC just gives me this meh feeling about their product.
Not gonna lie, I kinda want to see an octopus play the drums.
Most fresh superhero movie I’ve seen in a while was Thor Ragnarok. I laughed my arse off almost the entire time. It was very self aware.

The trailer makes it look fun as hell. Wan being at the helm also had me pumped for it.

im excited for aquaman, but i hope to see superman in Shazam

Are you familiar with the comic? The sentient octopus is Topo. He’s sort of Aquaman’s pet.

Unless Vinny Chase has a cameo I’m out.

Well, the general gist I get from that is that they're moving the frick away from Zack Snyder's dark and gloomy bullshite with a huge dose of nonsensical disaster porn just for the sake of having nonsensical disaster porn.
How DC thought that was a good one size fits all approach for every character besides Batman is absolutely fricking amazing.
