Critics Call Jason Momoa's Aquaman As The Most Ambitious DC Comics Film; An Underwater Star Wars! Read All Tweet Reviews

Good news for DC fans for there's finally a film after Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman that has the potential to match the awesomeness of Marvel films! DC's live-action Aquaman movie has been touted to be of Wonder Woman quality by critics who watched the film. Time and again, Dc fans were let down by the films released by DC comics.

In recent times especially, movies like Batman vs Superman, Suicide Squad and Justice League were rubbish and obviously, as DC Comics couldn't uplift the quality of films in their camp, Marvel movies did better than ever at the box office and in the hearts of fans. But looks like all that's about to change as Aquaman (yeah, the same superhero who isn't highly regarded in comic books) will be saving the day! Warner Bros might go back in the top spot with Jason Momoa in and as Aquaman.

So far, with the trailers released by WB Pictures, we all had our own doubts. You see, the previous duds from DC Comics also had promising trailers. But looks like Aquaman even delivers what it promises. The social media embargo for critics by Warner Bros was recently lifted and since then, outstanding critical reviews have been making their way.

The press who got to attend the screenings of Aquaman has but only good things to state about the film. Jason Momoa especially has raked in tremendously good responses. Although full reviews cannot be put up just yet, fans can breathe a sigh of relief and book tickets without worrying about being disappointed! Check out what the critics have to say below.

There were moments where I felt #Aquaman might be running a little long but it has SO much to unpack in building its own isolated world.

Huge, epic, unique, and stylish action-sequences balance the heavy exposition.

Movie isn't out yet but I want more from Wan, Momoa, & co.

#Aquaman is great. James Wan made a really unique super hero origin film, often crossing into fantasy-epic territory, but grounded in family and discovery.

The world is visually incredible. Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry is a total bad-ass. @yahya and @patrickwilson73 stand out! pic.twitter.com/2IvDCEq7VU

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.

Saw #Aquaman before thanksgiving and had a week to think about it. It's flawed, but fun. Momoa and Patrick Wilson are absolute gems. Most of all, the movie is just flat out insane. I can't believe how big, creative, and crazy it gets. Gotta see it again! pic.twitter.com/m2oRbHVtu9

#Aquaman was an absolute blast, from the charm of Momoa's Arthur Curry, to the spectacular visuals to the fun that it was clear that everyone was having. It was exactly what I was hoping for and I can't wait to see it again! I'll give you more details when I'm allowed! pic.twitter.com/FyeczAJJIJ

#Aquaman is AWESOME & absolutely delivers! Not only is @prideofgyypsies the King of Atlantis, but also the newly crowned King of the DCEU! 🔱👑 I can't wait to see it again! pic.twitter.com/boVAKdcNIA

I’ve seen @creepypuppet ‘s @aquamanmovie and it’s one terrific adventure. #JasonMamoa and #AmberHeard are fantastic together, both bringing a ton of humor. This is good stuff! It also happens to be gorgeous to look at! Check out @arcticninjapaul ‘s full review @joblocom soon! pic.twitter.com/YQ8AhwD26c

🔱 #Aquaman is better than expected. Feels like a Marvel phase one movie, in a good way. 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. pic.twitter.com/aTnc1QWk66

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. YEEEAAHH! pic.twitter.com/3GLlK3uQJ3

#Aquaman is a buckwild movie which is honestly both good and bad in (almost) equal measure. If nothing else, it looks great and it's completely unafraid to just go for it, which I appreciate in it.

To avoid various clashes in December, Aquaman will be releasing on December 14, a week ahead of the US release date. Directed by James Wan, the film might meet the stature of Wonder Woman or might even surpass her, so say critics! With so many releases waiting for us in December, will Aquaman be able to shine? Let's just hope he does! The film also stars Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in pivotal roles.
