Aquaman Reviews: 9 Early Reactions You Have To See

While the vast majority of these early reactions are positive, they are not without their detractors. Even some of the most overtly positive reactions seem more than willing to acknowledge that this is a film with some pretty big problems that prevent it from being truly great.

As @TheSpencerPerry said:

"Aquaman is like an 80s cartoon, with all of the fun and problems that come with that. A good adventure movie that acknowledges exactly what it is from the start, which is a meal made almost entirely out of ham."

Or as @GregWetherall put it:

"Aquaman has its faults (some hokey dialogue and a real lack of chemistry between Momoa and Heard), BUT it is still a thrilling, rich ride that maintains a sense of character and story even as it accelerates somewhat inevitably towards its delirious denouement."

@slashfilm seemed to wrap it up pretty succinctly in stating:

"A lot of the aspects I didn't like can probably be traced back to decisions Snyder made that were inherited by Wan (casting, chemistry between Heard/Momoa...etc.)"
