Honestly, the thing I was wanting to see the most in this movie, that being Kahndaq, has been terribly told and the film focus's more on the justice society, which when seeing Dr. Fate, made me not excited to see them. But even though Dr. Fate is the worst character overall, I don't think he is the worst character in the film. That Honor goes to Hawk man. Now I can tell that the actor is trying his best with the character, but with the script that he was given is the main reason why his character sucks, Like for example, He said that "Heroes don't kill people", But like Superman killed Zod at the end of Man of Steel and Wonder Woman killed Ares at the end of Wonder Woman 2017. So I don't get why Black Adam cant kill when even fricken Batman has killed people before. And he is just there to get his @$$ killed throughout the entire film. I think Atom Smasher is completely forgettable even though he is the best of the crew, Hurricane was also forgettable, Dr. fate was cool in some scenes or like his character from the Comics or Injustice 2 which are my least favorite versions of him. Sabbac is also a Terrible Villain. And I Found the final battle pretty underwhelming, Finally I Think the music should most definitely be used less. With that said, I don't hate this film, I think the Dwayne Johnson does a great job as the villain version of Black Adam (even though he is being set up more as a hero rather than a villain.) The action outside of the Final battle is pretty fun, And Black Adams Introduction was Fantastic. So while not a good film in my eyes. But I would rather you watch this than Halloween Ends.

Black Adam is fueled by an earnest spirit and boasts a few effective action sequences, but so many of the half-baked story threads and silly plot twists were eye-roll and groan-inducing.

Dwayne Johnson and Pierce Brosnan shine as Black Adam and Dr Fate respectively, it's such a shame that Dr Fate was underplayed. I still don't get why Dr Fate was played down so much, it's such an audacious decision that makes absolutely no sense.

To sum it all, Black Adam can be entertaining if you can look past its horrible plot and dialogues, poor villain and generally paper-thin characters.… Expand

But after watching it, I had mixed feelings. I felt like they put four random superheroes from DC comics, put The Rock in there too, and called it a day. Action was quite good but characters where mid. Again, this is that kind of film where they felt like they need to once again, prove to us that a woman also can be a super hero or on high position in some evil organization. Otherwise this film was a two hour introduction of the new character that will appear in the background or in two or three scenes in the future films.… Expand

To be honest the rest of the movie hardly rises above this, but at least no other flaws are so front and center to the audience.

The screenwriters must have struggled to write the character of "Black Adam", as he presents himself as a brooding anti-hero but there is little that he does to suggest this other than regular assertions that he isn't a hero. Many serious moments of his are often undercut by cringey attempts at humor. Although this is a regular occurrence in super-hero films (and much maligned, by the way), it feels entirely out of character and unnecessary for the Black Adam they are presenting to us. His conflict with the heroes of the Justice Society was intended to further reinforce his anti-hero persona, but they instead come across as the aggressors while also being completely oblivious to the actual villains in front of them. The Rock is good for this role, but the script failed him. On the positive side, the enjoyable performances of the supporting characters help to stabilize this film, and the action is very entertaining.… Expand

One thing I will say about this movie was that it was entertaining, The Action was really awesome and sort of reminded me of Man of Steel's action set pieces that felt big, spectacular, and visually striking. The action scenes were really the best part of this movie and every time Black Adam was in an action scene it felt exciting and not just the Black Adam action scenes but characters like Doctor Fate, Hawkman, Cyclone and Atom Smasher all had good action scenes.

Big credit to Jaume Collet-Serra, the man knows how to direct stellar action scenes and not just the action the visuals and CGI in this movie were just beautiful and some even jaw-dropping. The visuals involving Doctor Fate especially were great along with Cyclone too. This movie was clearly one of the most visually impressive Superhero movies I've ever watched including the action.

The characters overall were decent, I was really looking forward to Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate and he was the best character for me. Pierce Brosnan gave a really good performance and every time Doctor Fate was on screen it Felt special, and his chemistry with Hawkman (Hawkman was a decent character as well and his action scenes vs Black Adam were some of the best parts of the movie,Aldis Hodge gives a good performance too) was nice also scenes between Cyclone and Atom Smasher were charming.

Now for Black Adam himself, The Rock has the perfect look for Black Adam I think he was the perfect casting and in this movie he does give a good performance, he's intense, funny at times and sympathetic but my Number one issue with this movie is that it's NOT A BLACK ADAM STORY. As someone who reads comics, it's kinda disappointing to see this version of Black Adam, They go more with the heroic route not exactly the FULL Anti Hero route either when in the comics he starts off as a pure villain then works his way to being more of an Anti-Hero whereas in this he starts off as an Anti-Hero and ends up in this weird mix between Hero/Anti-Hero they fully don't commit to either which is jarring for the story and kind of won’t make sense if he were to go up against Shazam or Superman in the future with the story they told.

Also, some moments felt like I was watching a Marvel movie(not the good kind), like some of the humor felt corny and awkward and honestly, Superhero movies/Hollywood movies kinda need to stir away from MCU awkward/forced humor and come up with something unique. I mean it dealt with humor well for the most part and better than recent Marvel movies to be honest just some scenes felt corny and awkward, especially for a DC movie. Also the villain was generic and shoehorned in the last act of the movie too but the action scenes between the main villain and JSA/Black Adam were good.

Another point is characters like Amon and Adrianna Tomaz who were connecting to Black Adam were decent but turned into annoying characters at times especially the Kid who had a fanboy relationship with Black Adam was annoying similar to Ironman 3 with some scenes between The Kid and Black Adam being the worst scenes in the movie. The tone of Black Adam was balanced mostly well between serious moments and comedic scenes despite the awkward humor and corniness in some scenes as I mentioned and the pacing was really well done too between the story and action.

So overall despite my complaints about the average to the sometimes mediocre story, awkward humor and some corny scenes I was mostly entertained with this movie the action was honestly great to epic at times. The visuals and CGI were great and stunning at times. Characters like Doctor Fate, Hawkman, Karim(who was the comic relief) who was funny and the Rock as Black Adam who does a good job portraying Black Adam and pulls off the look of comic Black Adam, and his action scenes were amazing despite not really being a comic accurate Black Adam story and ends up being this weird mix between Hero/Ant-Hero. I HAD FUN though which is the most important part and for the first time in a long time I have hope for the future of the DCEU and finally, the post-credit scene alone is a 10/10!!… Expand

The acting is passable in this film. I don’t mean that negatively towards any of the performances. I feel everyone was doing the best they could with the script they were given. My only small complaint is Dwayne Johnson plays himself like he does in everyone of his movies. This has a certain charm, but it would have been nice to see Black Adam sound and feel a bit different to Dwayne Johnson. The script is my biggest problem with the movie. It needed more time in the writing room. A lot of themes are half baked which is a shame. For instance, there are hints at a deeper friendship between Dr Fate and Hawkman but this is never really developed. Furthermore, Black Adam is supposed to be an antihero. This could have created a really interesting dynamic but it stopped short. I never felt any sense of the character being anything but a hero. He only killed people trying to kill him and they were obviously already bad. An opportunity was missed here.

The movie suffers from an overreliance on CGI like most modern superhero movies. What is worse, there were a few times in the film where the CGI was noticeably bad. If you are going to rely on CGI, then you need to ensure it is not obvious. To sum up…it is tolerable. It wont win any Oscars or Razzies and I don’t feel like a wasted my money on buying a ticket…especially with the after credits cameo. But, I was more excited during the cameo than I was in the whole film. I only hope a sequel would take full advantage of the character of Black Adam as this movie certainly has not.… Expand

Though nowhere near as "game-changing" as I think its marketing would lead you to believe, "Black Adam" does find Dwayne Johnson and his "Jungle Cruise" collaborator Jaume Collet-Serra subverting a few of the usual superhero subgenreThough nowhere near as "game-changing" as I think its marketing would lead you to believe, "Black Adam" does find Dwayne Johnson and his "Jungle Cruise" collaborator Jaume Collet-Serra subverting a few of the usual superhero subgenre trappings here and there. The most notable of these is, of course, the degree of anti-heroism displayed by the titular character. Make no mistake, no huge "lines" are crossed here, but the wrathfulness is undeniably fun to watch nonetheless. This thing moves quite briskly as well — sometimes to its own detriment. With that, though, I can say I was never bored while watching this. There's always something going on, a lot of which works. Other things don't. A few of the side characters are a bit grating. A portion of the humor doesn't land. Effects waver in quality on occasion. Johnson, Brosnan and Hodge are quite good, though. In the end, I'd say, "Black Adam" is perfectly decent — and admittedly dumb — fun.… Expand

It remains to be seen what they will do with The Flash to get another idea about the franchise, but DC and Warner have shown once again that they don't have a damn plan regarding what they want to do with their cinematic universe.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie to do justice should have been rated R.
The beginning was fine except for there being a kid narrator. and then the movie suffers from anything that goes with a badly written child character. The action which there was plenty of was fun but not greatly choreographed. Smasher and Cyclones action was lackluster like they didn't know how to use them. Smasher himself only punched 2 times in the whole movie and was comedic relief the rest of the time. Cyclone for someone as smart as she is supposed to be, its clear the writers used her powers like a child would of. anime characters have used wind powers with far more imagination. Hawkman and Dr.Fate were great, both the characters and actors. sadly the writers depowered Dr.Fate as he alone is a match for Adam in the comics, and Hawkmans mace was not hitting anywhere near its power in the comics. Black Adam was a hero, not an anti hero and def not a bad guy in any shape or form in this movie. His very Dark Origin from the comics is compleatly turned around to give him a more loving twist. Instead of wanting all of the power he shares with his son and killing him to gain it as in the comics, his son just gives it to him to save his father and then the boy dies from arrows and Adam goes into grief riddled revenge. the final bad guy is a travasty, who is he, why do i care, idk, forgotten like the wind. the movie is not that great.… Expand

I liked the overall story when you look at it from afar, but when you dig into the details, that's where the movie misses its mark. The worst part from Black Adam is the dialogue, there's too many moments where you cringe and want to stuff your head in a pillow. It never found an identity or flow within the story, it tried to be too much in a 2 hour span. The writers could have taken a different approach with the political messaging and write about what's happening in the Middle East today, but decided to write a generic "we are oppressed by foreign invaders" story and never dove into it. I liked the major plot points that the story got to in each act, but again when looking into the details of how we got there thats where the story isn't as ironed out as it should be. The action is fun and looks great, but honestly you will enjoy this movie just as much by watching the action scenes on Youtube once it's released. Another high end DC movie and yet again they are still struggling to find their identity in the superhero genre.… Expand

The film Black Adam has a storyline we have seen too many times; there are way too many settings that are ripped directly from other DCUMCU films. You should consider this production of Black Adam as a one-off; a dream of Dwayne Johnson that was finally cobbled together into reality, but expect the future iterations of Black Adam as well as the DCU to be portrayed completely different. Black Adam is worthy of a visit to the theater, during 'cheap ticket night' of course, but don't invest too much interest in this iteration of Teth-Adam.… Expand

However, when this film tries to have fun, it is so stuck in angry stoic mode that it fails miserably. He doesn't even manage to crack a smile until the very end, when he gives Hawkman the most forced smile I've ever seen. And, while I understand that this character is "darker" and "angrier" than most heroes, that means Rock has left his famous charisma at the door.… Expand

For all its flaws - and Black Adam has quite a few - it is not boring and therefore fulfills the main requirement for superhero movies.

A pesar de ser una película de presentación de un héroe (o antihéroe) y a pesar de que cuenta prácticamente lo mismo de siempre, Black Adam es, muy diferente (aparentemente), del resto de películas basadas en cómics.
Es correcta, no sorprendeA pesar de ser una película de presentación de un héroe (o antihéroe) y a pesar de que cuenta prácticamente lo mismo de siempre, Black Adam es, muy diferente (aparentemente), del resto de películas basadas en cómics.
Es correcta, no sorprende demasiado (cosa que le perjudica), y tiene algún agujero/contradicción en el guion que hubiese molado mucho más si incidiera (como el mensaje en el que se centra en toda la peli).
Para mi gusto, le faltan más momentos de esos que recuerdas dentro de un tiempo, creo que a excepción de uno con el Dr. Fate poco más me voy a acordar de esta película.

· Cosas buenas: se diferencia de otras (a pesar de contar lo mismo que otras), tiene alguna secuencia de pelea que es fantástica y súper frenética. El reparto es maravilloso, aunque quizás algo desaprovechado, Dr. Fate me encantó. No se me hizo larga, la reflexión es interesante pero me habría gustado que incidiera más en "qué es ser un héroe", la música me pareció bastante chula y, cómo no, la ESCENA post-créditos, wow.
· Cosas malas: The Rock, lo siento pero nunca me gustó y dudo que me guste Dwayne Johnson, no lo trago ni le acabo de pillar el humor (por mucho que suba la ceja), demasiados efectos visuales en algunos momentos, la cámara lenta a lo Snyder me pone de los nervios. El montaje, con algunos errores y demasiado abuso del etalonaje (ya nos hemos enterado de que estamos en África, gracias), muchos clichés, poco guion (le falta incidir más en algunos personajes que podrían haber molado), el villano es horrible, y puede que tanta acción se te haga repetitiva.
· Conclusión: cuando salí del cine, salí contento, pensando en que me había gustado, cosa que es cierto, pero con una sensación extraña que consistía en una mezcla de pensamientos entre si la película está sobrecargada o subdesarrollada, y he llegado a la conclusión de que ambas, le sobran algunas partes, y faltan algunas partes, para mí, no se acabó de encontrar del todo.… Expand

I never liked Dwayne Johnson movies.
Sorry is that they are all simple and very bad.

Black Adam is a typical Rock's 'joint', re-fashioned as a super hero film. Some pretty good set pieces, but they're not special in any way. One of its biggest saving grace is Brosnan as Dr. Fate, who gave a really great performance. It'sBlack Adam is a typical Rock's 'joint', re-fashioned as a super hero film. Some pretty good set pieces, but they're not special in any way. One of its biggest saving grace is Brosnan as Dr. Fate, who gave a really great performance. It's biggest problem: it is directed and made as if it was released in the early 2000s. There are many jarring pieces that are really out of place in today's superhero fares. The kid's entire dialogue, the weak villain amongst many. Hence, the lackluster performance worldwide of this flick. It's good that WB is under a new management. They really need all the help they can get to whip the DCEU back into shape.… Expand
