First of all, don't panic! The first reactions for Aquaman have hit dry land today and, well, they're all pretty positive for the most part! It certainly doesn't sound like the movie is a masterpiece by any means, but the signs are all pointing to the James Wan-helmed release being up there with Wonder Woman rather than stuck alongside the likes of Suicide Squad and Justice League.
There are a lot of keywords being thrown around so far, including "fun" and the typical "best movie ever!" responses you'd expect from those lucky enough to see a movie like this weeks in advance.
We also get the inevitable comparisons to Marvel Studios movies, and it definitely sounds like this is Warner Bros.' most Marvel-lous DC Comics adaptation to date. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but it's bound to get comic book fans talking over the coming weeks as we wait for reviews to surface.
Ultimately, it definitely sounds as if Aquaman is a hit, even if it is a little strange in places, a tad overlong, and heavy on 80s style action and cheese (if those are the biggest complaints, we really don't have that much to worry about with this one).
