For those worried that DC was looking like a rudderless ship heading into Aquaman can rest easy. The first reactions to the early (and I mean early - it’s not out for another 10 months) test screening should calm the waters of all but the most sunken-hearted fanboy. It’s sounding promising. Very, very minor spoilers to follow…

While most fans invited to the screening at Warner Bros.🍃 Studios are, wisely, steerin♊g clear of breaching any NDAs by posting stuff on social media, there are a few pesky land-dwellers who have gotten ‘round it by pulling the ol’ friend-of-a-friend trick.

Of course, it’s still early days – but for DC (and director James Wan) to have the confidence to show a cut this far away from the December release date means they must be pleased with it. Having said that, the cynic in me thinks we’re unlikely to get a massive negative buzz even if the movie was💎 bad. Still, it’s better than nothing.

As for Aquaman’s class💝ic look? Ehh, I could take or leave it. It could end up looking a li𓄧ttle goofy, unless it’s played for laughs.

Although a reboot is out of the question, Aquaman is undoubtedly acting as a soft reboot for those left with a sour taste in the mouth post-澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League. Action, emotion, ripped men in green tights. That’s all we really want from a supe𝔉rhero movie, right?
