Early 'Aquaman' reactions are surprisingly supportive
Critics' first reactions to Aquaman are finally swimming onto social media with a surprising upswell of positivity.
The highly anticipated DC chapter isn't due in theaters until next month—Dec. 21 to be exact—but those who caught early screenings are promising a good time for future audiences.
A standalone spin-off of The Justice League, the Jason Momoa-starring saga follows the titular Aquaman as he attempts to quell tension between the residents of the Seven Seas and us land lubbers. He is joined in his quest by Mera, played by Amber Heard.
Only time will tell if these oceanic heroes are truly up to the Herculean task of championing the regularly mixed DCEU, but everything we're hearing so far is super encouraging.
(Notably, we are only getting reactions from critics selected by Warner Brothers for screenings, so take everything below with a grain of sea salt.)
Here's what early reactions tell us we can expect from Aquaman's release this December.
We'll be getting some mega stunning (and slippery) action sequences
