Leave your thoughts about Aquaman.
| TheDCTVshowBen RolphAquaman is a new terrific entry in the belt of DC, a visual masterpiece that is utterly riveting throughout. |
| CulturessKristen LopezPlaying like a modern-day parody of '80s fantasy films like Clash of the Titans, Aquaman embraces the camp, the zany, and the weird. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesWan swings for the fences in crafting arguably the most ambitious comic book film we've seen on the big screen yet. |
| Consequence of SoundClint WorthingtonAquaman is a pure piece of bright, ridiculous spectacle, hammering its Saturday morning cartoon sensibilities down its audience’s throat with a huge, cheesy grin on its face. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezThis visually clumsy and gauche, but spectacular, movie knows what it wants to be when it grows up for better or worse. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranNotwithstanding the inevitable formulaic dialogue and a superabundance of boilerplate superhero action sequences, Aquaman turns out to be, almost despite itself, an engaging undersea extravaganza. |
| Splash ReportJ. Don BirnamAquaman swims more often than it sinks, buoyed by stunning visuals and an inherently compelling world that should be further developed beyond this origin film. |
| indieWireEric KohnIn a better world, Aquaman would excel at delivering an ecological message to the masses. But all the fish in the sea can’t salvage a movie that refuses to go more than surface deep. |
| The Weekend WarriorEdward DouglasSomehow manages to be the perfect blend of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and even a little Indiana Jones, yet still manages to be its very own thing. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawAquaman, it's worth repeating, is gorgeous, the set-pieces across the various kingdoms of the underwater realm examples of artists allowed to not just hew close to the messed-up source but indulge in their own inspirations as well. |
