Si è svolta ieri a Londra la premiere mondiale di Aquaman, l’attesissimo cinecomic DC con protagonista Jason Momoa, che arriverà nelle nostre sale a partire dal 1 gennaio 2019. Ebbene, la stampa internazionale sembra aver particolarmente apprezzato il film, lodando in particolar modo le scene d’azione e la regia di James Wan.
Di seguito alcune reazioni:
Aquaman is a big, fun, wild ride. It’s unabashedly melodramatic and over the top with the largest, most ambitious sense of scale imaginable. Parts of it are kind of bad but they are not the majority and, oddly, still fit in with the cartoony tone. 2nd best DCU movie. YEEEAAHH! pic.twitter.com/3GLlK3uQJ3

#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

#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

Excited I can now say how much I enjoyed #Aquaman! It’s a cool adventure built on some tremendous action sequences and set pieces, with a great hero arc/performance from Jason Momoa as the glue. There’s fun world building, and it looks wonderful. A great step for the DCEU. pic.twitter.com/Z5iPdilMIR

🔱 #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

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

So I really enjoyed #Aquaman! James Wan has made an unapologetically bold superhero flick, mixing adventure and fantasy elements with stunning visual effects, a terrific lead in Jason Momoa (who’s clearly having the time of his life), and a great heroine in Amber Heard’s Mera. pic.twitter.com/V8bnw6mnCX

#Aquaman is … good! It’s certainly greater than the sum of its parts. It’s chock full of ridiculous elements but it’s all so inherently bonkers that you’d have to be an utter killjoy to not get caught up in it pic.twitter.com/VV5PMGT9er

Di seguito, invece, il video della premiere mondiale:
Le prime reazioni della stampa ad Aquaman, l’atteso cinecomic DC diretto da James Wan
Aquaman (qui il trailer finale del film) arriverà nelle sale il 21 dicembre 2018 e sarà diretto da James Wan (Insidious, The Conjuring, Fast & Furious 7), mentre la sceneggiatura porterà la firma di Will Beall (Gangster Squad). Le riprese del film sono cominciate lo scorso 22 maggio. Jason Momoa ha debuttato nei panni del Re di Atlantide in Justice League, uscito nelle sale italiane lo scorso 16 novembre.
Nei fumetti il pescatore Tom Curry, guardiano del faro situato nella costa a nord del Maine nella cittadina di Amnesty Bay, trova il giovane Orin e lo cresce come fosse suo figlio, chiamandolo Arthur Curry.
Nel cast ci saranno anche Patrick Wilson, che vestirà i panni di Ocean Master, Amber Heard, che interpreterà il ruolo di Mera, e Willem Dafoe, che sarà invece Vulko. Il premio Oscar Nicole Kidman è in trattative per il ruolo di Atlanna, la madre del personaggio del titolo, mentre Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (visto nella la serie The Get Down) interpreterà il ruolo di Black Manta, supercriminale noto primariamente come arci-nemico di Aquaman.
