American movie critics got the first chance to see the upcoming Aquaman movie this past weekend, and going by their roaring approvals on twitter, December 14 can't get here any quicker!The superhero movie has been hailed as one of the best for DC since Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy which included 2008's The Dark Knight. Not like it has much to compete against anyway. You can easily name more consensually bad DC Extended Universe (DCEU) movies than good ones; Justice League, Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman.Last year's Wonder Woman changed the tide for the studio though, and now it seems Aquaman is the movie to scale the DCEU to Marvel Cinematic Universe heights. A lot of the praise singles out the lead character pairing of Jason Momoa, who plays the title character, and Amber Heard, who plays his love interest, Princess Mera.Other praises were reserved for the films spirited sense of adventure, and the director James Wan (who also helmed the hugely successful Furious 7).https://twitter.com/DorianParksnRec/status/1067180812422901760https://twitter.com/JimmytotheO/status/1067176870314106881https://twitter.com/ScottWamplerBMD/status/1067178017338867712https://twitter.com/slashfilm/status/1067176648108269576https://twitter.com/TheOtherScottM/status/1067181870209630208https://twitter.com/Tom_Jorgensen/status/1067176699408801792https://twitter.com/wayoutstuff/status/1067178609964503041https://twitter.com/TheSpencerPerry/status/1067177619542691841https://twitter.com/carlylane/status/1067186798877646849https://twitter.com/BrandonDavisBD/status/1067176198520877056https://twitter.com/eeisenberg/status/1067176179071881216https://twitter.com/ErikDavis/status/1067176988618645506https://twitter.com/sam_clements/status/1067173093054038019https://twitter.com/elmayimbe/status/1067176486103330817https://twitter.com/JimVejvoda/status/1067177176187863040Aquaman opens in Kenyan cinemas this December 14.
