Justice League-rullen må satt spiken för Snyders planer för sina mörka superhjältar, men kanske kan kommande Aquaman sätta DC-skutan i rätt riktning igen på samma sätt som Wonder Woman en gång gjorde. Detta om ska tro de tidiga filmintrycken som nu börjat dyka upp på sociala medier och medan denna sortens reaktioner egentligen bör tas med en nypa salt, låter det ändå som att James Wans superhjälte-epos har resonerat med kritikerna som fick se en tidig visning.
Detta hade exempelvis Erik Davis hos Fandango att säga om filmen:
"'Aquaman' is the most ambitious DC film to date. A big, sprawling visual spectacle that is gorgeous, crazy, stuffed with terrific action, and a lot of fun to watch. James Wan, in my opinion, is the true star - he elevates the material, makes it entertaining and conquers it."
Germain Lussier hos io9 anser att det är nästbästa DCU-filmen hittills:
"'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."
Peter Sciretta (Slash Film) beskrev Aquaman som en Marvel-film på ett bra vis:
"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."
Paul Shirey, som skriver för JoBlo, älskade Aquaman innerligt:
"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."
Scott Wampler (Birth.Movies.Death) rekommenderar att se filmen i största möjliga bioduk:
"Against all odds, I really dug 'Aquaman,' which offers thrills chills and a whole lotta adventure for the whole family! Also the president of the United States is a demonstrably evil racist and there appears to be nothing we can do about that! See it on the biggest screen possible."
ScreenRant-skribenten Andrew Dyce gör den kanske den mest spännande beskrivningen av filmen hittills:
"'Aquaman' is a breathtakingly beautiful, weird, badass, FUN idea of a modern superhero fantasy 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."
Det bådar gott, med andra ord. Aquaman får svensk premiär redan den 13 december. Har du bokat biobiljetter till Aquaman?
"Den som påstår att DC-filmerna är hopplösa kommer att spetsas med denna treudd"
