https://batman-news.com/2018/02/22/aquaman-test-screening-details-reactions/

Believe it or not, Warner Bros. held a test screening for Aquaman yesterday despite the movie not hitting theaters until December 21st. Most visual effects werent finished yet, but some were. Batman News spoke with several people who attended the screening and their reactions were very positive!

Aquaman was described to me as an emotional action movie. I was told that the tone is similar to Wonder Woman. There is humor, but its more of a drama. And thanks to director James Wans previous work there are elements of horror as well.

Aquaman has Star Wars-like underwater battles, scary monsters, lots of emotions, and an amazing villain in Orm, played by Patrick Wilson. Amber Heards Mera is very much a co-lead and not just a love interest to Jason Momoas Aquaman.

Im going to get into more detail below. No big spoilers, but continue reading at your own discretion

-Characters just talk normally underwater. No giant air bubbles like we saw in Justice League.
-The rumors were true, Jason Momoa wears the comic book Aquaman costume in the movie.
-Black Manta is a secondary villain. He looks just like he does in the comics and has the same origin as well.
-Superhero News scoop confirmed, The Trench is in the movie.
-Yes, Aquaman can talk to fish, and he does in the movie.


Thats all I can say without getting into major spoiler territory. Based on what Ive been told, Warner Bros. has a great movie in their hands. Now lets hope they leave James Wan alone and dont cut it up like they did with Suicide Squad and Justice League.

I really hope it's good. I feel bad for the actors at DC and hope at least Jason gets a break

every DCCU movie at first screening gets positive reception, including BvS, SS and JL. This is nothing to be taken at face-value at.

The only deciding factor is when a bunch of old tweebs that dominate RT, that in turn, dictates the entire Hollywood industry, come together to give a movie a bad score.

That's...the main deciding factor on a Hollywood movie's success.

Isn't Aquaman a parody of Mermaid Man?

critics won't give this movie a pass.

They only gave one to Wonder Woman, since it just so happens to be that one rare movie that helps propel their feminist agenda of showing how to 'empower woman'

It's Aquaman. Not going to lie, the film would have to get absolutely phenomenal reviews and a great fan reaction for me to remotely consider going to see it.

No he's a derivative of Marvel's Namor. One of the few cases where DC stole one of Marvel's ideas and made it work better than the original.

I hope it's good cuz I like Jason Mamoa and he seems like a cool dude. I have really low expectations from DC/WB though.

Aquaman's actually fucking awesome anyway, so I'm glad they got a good director and got their shit together for it. Wonder Woman was good, but not amazing.
