"Aquaman" did very well in China, where the movie released first. The New York Times reported '“Aquaman” collected $94 million in tickets," over the weekend.
On Rotten Tomatoes it has a score of 78 percent already. Many reviews were posted on Twitter, some of them not so good. However, the top ones seem full of praise for the movie.
One example is Karen Han, of Polygon who noted that "Were it not for Black Panther and Into the Spider-Verse, Aquaman would easily clinch the title for best superhero movie of the year." However, people always disagree. At the end of the day, you will need to decide for yourself. It releases worldwide on December 21. In the meantime, here are five mentions from Twitter.

Indie Wire review on Twitter
Indie Wire was not so nice. They felt it was "Hobbled by a messy screenplay, paper-thin characters, and a hodgepodge of unimaginative showdowns." They didn't stop there, and said this is just another "franchise" competing in the same market.

Chicago Tribune review gets mocked on Twitter
Michael Phillips got mocked on Twitter for his review. He wrote that it's "like spending" hours watching a "gigantic aquarium." Well, that set off the people who thought that if you watched a movie about Aquaman, perhaps you should expect to see sea creatures?
