In the latest edition of Popcorn Talk's Meet the Movie Press, The Tracking Board editor and The Wrap's Umberto Gonzalez weigh in on early Aquaman test screenings and it sounds like they've also heard a lot of good things about the DC Comics adaptation. "I heard it was great, man," Gonzalez claims, pointing to it being a turning point for DC: "Someone else told me it was a palette cleanser for them, for DC, what's happened with the Zack Snyder films. So high hopes for that one and Shazam."
"I heard that it plays like an Indiana Jones movie and that the action puts Wonder Woman and Justice League to shame. That is what I heard," Sneider adds before going on to praise James Wan and pointing out that the underwater scenes could be why people seem to love the unique action scenes.
It is, of course, important to note that these are essentially second-hand opinions but there's no reason to doubt their validity and it's easy to imagine Aquaman being something very special indeed given the team behind and in front of the camera (it also won't be hard for Wan to improve on the disappointing underwater scenes in Justice League). Either way, this is some much-needed good press for DC Films.
