Absolutely Bonkers and a lot of fun



[ad_1]

Just when you thought that DC Extended Universe had been sunk, that even Wonder Woman could not save it, here Aquaman. As Jason Momoa resumes his role as Atlantean superhero, James Wan's partially underwater adventure is an explosion, according to the first wave of critical reactions flooding social media. It's a bit crazy in a good way, with spectacular images, and you're going to want to see it in movie theaters.

Here's what the critics say:


So Aquaman is good?

Aquaman it's a sneaky movie … there is no fear to go.
Meg Downey, CBR

It is undoubtedly melodramatic and bursting with the broadest and most ambitious meaning imaginable.
Germain Lussier, io9


Wait, what are good things?

It's so intrinsically crazy that you should be completely disappointed not to be trapped.
Jim Vejvoda, IGN Movies

James Wan has made a bold and daring superhero movie, mixing elements of adventure and fantasy with stunning visual effects.
Carly Lane, SyFy thread

It's a good adventure movie that recognizes exactly what it is from the beginning, it's a meal almost entirely made of ham.

Goofy in places, but it's fun.

This is the best time to have fun and not take yourself too seriously.

What does it look like?

Aquaman is … breathtaking.

James Wan and his company took great care in designing this corner of the CUSD. Atlantis is beautiful.

Where is it in DC movies??

Aquaman is the best DC movie since The black Knight.

What does this film do for the DCEU?

This is another step in the right direction for the CESD and shows how the tones of these films can be different / distinct while staying together.
Mike Cecchini, Den of Geek

A big step for the DCEU.
Eric Eisenberg, CinemaBlend

WB should give the reins of the DCEU to James Wan, he proved he could, um, to the right of the ship.
Tom Jorgensen, IGN Movies


How's Jason Momoa?

he [has] Jason Momoa is an excellent hero.
Eric Eisenberg, CinemaBlend

[Has] a great lead in Jason Momoa (who clearly has the time of his life).
Carly Lane, SyFy thread


And his chemistry with Amber Heard?

Jason Momoa and Amber Heard are fantastic together, bringing both a ton of humor.
Jimmy O, JoBlo's Movie Emporium

Amber Heard and Jason Momoa are doing well together. They bounce with such ease.

Does it have a nasty problem?

Black Manta is a big bad guy that comic fans will love.
Peter Sciretta, Slashfilm

Black Manta was a nasty dope and his costume was amazing. I just wish he had a little more love.
Dorian Parks, Geeks of Color


Describe the film in a few words.

It's like being in the first phase of Marvel, in the good sense of the word.
Peter Sciretta, Slashfilm

Schwarzenegger of the 80s in 'Hideo Kojima's Avatar"And you are almost all the way.
Andrew Dyce, ScreenRant

Aquaman is like a cartoon from the 80s, with all the fun and the problems that come with it.
Spencer Perry, ComingSoon.net


Did he surprise you?

Aquaman is better than expected.
Peter Sciretta, Slashfilm

Against all odds, I really dug Aquaman, which offers thrills and a great adventure for the whole family! ".

It was exactly what I was hoping for and I can not wait to see him again!

Is it better as you go?

The second half encourages / laughs after the other.
Andrew Dyce, ScreenRant

The battle of the third act that is not devolved to the trap of the typical comic book blah is surprisingly ambitious.
Peter Sciretta, Slashfilm


Are there no complaints?

Some parts are pretty bad, but they are not in the majority and, curiously, they always fit in the cartoony's tone.
Germain Lussier, io9

Most aspects that I did not like can probably be attributed to decisions made by Snyder and inherited from Wan.
Peter Sciretta, Slashfilm

It's imperfect, but fun.
Mike Rougeau, GameSpot


Seriously, is it good?

It's a great adventure.
Jimmy O, JoBlo's Movie Emporium

An absolute explosion.
