DC's next superhero flick, "Aquaman," arrives in theaters in late December. However, some lucky individuals have been able to see an early screening of the under and above water fantasy adventure film. Below are five of the reactions that have popped up on Twitter so far (minus spoilers).
Praise for unique origin film
"Aquaman" will give fans, old and new, a look at the origin of the classic DC comic book character. Brandon Davis praised director James Wan for the way in which he crafted the tale and Jason Mamoa for his portrayal of the iconic hero.
#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
"Big, creative, and crazy"
One viewer allowed the visuals and overall effects, along with the story, to sink in for about a week. Mike Rogeau said he'll need a repeat viewing, based on how "insane" this movie gets.
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

Another future repeat viewer
Count Jenna Busch as one of those people who will be heading out to see this epic superhero film again. Busch praised Momoa's charm and the "spectacular visuals." She called it "Exactly what I was hoping for." That's quite a recommendation for those who may have been on the fence about seeing it.
#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

All hail Momoa's Aquaman!
Nick Kazden was also engaged in the film, thanks to its lead actor's charismatic performance. While Momoa was in "Justice League," and had some key moments, he truly makes this his film. Kazden loved the film's "fun fantasy vibe."
I can finally share some brief thoughts on #Aquaman. Can't mention plot or technical stuff, so I'll just say that Jason Mamoa is charismatic as hell in the lead and the film gives off a fun fantasy vibe đź‘Ś Doubt anyone will mock Aquaman for talking to fish after this comes out. pic.twitter.com/EFpPJ3enmq

Comparable to a Marvel movie
A lot has been made over the years in regard to DC's failing to match Marvel. Several of the Twitter reactions note that this feels close to how Marvel movies are. That may be a good sign for DC at the box office. In addition, Slash Film editor Peter Sciretta praises the movie's villain, Black Manta.
🔱 #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
