The rock is great as Adam, the supporting cast is great, especially Pierce Brosnan as Dr.Fate.
Great music and great VFX.
At some parts the script could be better and child actors are hit and miss as always.… Expand

Finally a movie gives the feeling that DC are making great movies again. First of all, it may not be comic accurate at all but Dwayne Johnson is the perfect casting for Black Adam. Also the Justice Society castings were great, although we did not get much to know about their backstories. Their past and their development may be one of the few things that was missing in the plot. But fortunately it did not disturb anything about the backstory and the development of Black Adam himself. Unlike the other DC movies, the darkness was adjusted better this time. Also the very little piece of comedy has found a place in the Movie. The surprise in the post credit scene was just awesome and hope giving for the next projects of DC. The film is recommended.… Expand

This simply demonstrates once again, just how much most critics are out of touch with what audiences are actually looking for in a movie. I’m so happy to see that the audience score of 89% (at time of writing), mirrors the experience that I had at the cinema. My family and I are just back from an IMAX screening of Black Adam and our scores are 7/10 wife, 7/10 son, 9/10 daughter and 9/10 me. How biased are the majority of critics nowadays and what’s their actual motivation for scores as low as zero? Are they reviewing a form of media ENTERTAINMENT or trying to project their political agendas onto the masses?
Anyway, back to the movie… Awesome cinematography, incredible action sequences, fantastic performances by all, a tremendous score, spellbinding visual effects and a SUPER mid credits scene. Thank you Dwayne Johnson, Warner Bros.Discovery, New Line Cinema and Seven Bucks Productions for a great, FUN time at the movies. Yes, FUN time at the movies, something the majority of critics seem to have forgotten about.
It’s a solid 9/10 IMO, so please ignore the critics and go see Black Adam on the biggest, loudest screen possible… you won’t regret it.… Expand

Black Adam is not without its flaws, but i still enjoy the hell out of it, the problem that i have with Black Adam is that i never really buy all the Kahndaq people 100%, in the end i only still buy half of it, but i still fine with it, it's not like their characters are terrible, it just most of the time they are doing just a poor performance except the actress who played the mom and probably Ishmael for the most part, at least i still got some of the laughs from one of them, some of the slower scene was sometimes misplaced including some of the flashback, and some nit picky here and there, the rest of Black Adam is an exciting comic book film that fills with a very impressive battle that also fills with dazzling visual and cool style, Black Adam himself played incredibly well by Dwayne Johnson, he was just unstoppable in the most badass way, Justice Society has just become one of my favorite superhero team specifically in movies, they are fun and they are great, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Cyclone, and Atom Smasher all of them are a hit for me, i love every single one of them, though i do wish they have something more with Doctor Fate because i think Pierce Brosnan was just unbelievably good playing the characters, again at least we do still have that one moment, i would love to see Justice Society again in movie maybe even their own movie, i would also love to have a specifically Doctor Fate standalone or a prequel film, and last but not least, the main villain, i think the main villain is doing as fine as most of the hero in the movie, so overall Black Adam is a quite a fun ride, 2 hours did feel quite goes by, an exciting back and forth battle that fills with dazzling visual effect and style, great score, great sound, great performances for most of the cast, being the first original DCEU movie that release in theaters only since WW84, Black Adam is not perfect but it's still great, it's still fun, it's still fascinating, it's still exciting, and i enjoy the hell out of it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. watched the first show available at suncoast casino in Durban. I absolutely loved it. Johnson delivers on your promise of huge Changeup within the DCEU.
Firstly I must admit I'm not fan of anybody in the Rocks family. They are all overpriviledged and awarded everything they have without working half as hard as their peers. Dwayne however has learned skills, upped his game and tough I'm no fan I am often impressed and entertained by his work.
This movie is such an occasion.
The characters aren't developed in a traditional fashion, rather there is a lot of flashback work. There isn't much in the way of groundbreaking narrative. There's very little familiarity with the rest of the DCEU. But it's still freaking awesome. The action is a mile a second, Johnson is probably the most charismatic DCEU til date, the CGI is mind-blowing.
Though the story feels like it's got elements that have been done before it still holds your attention for every second of the movie.
The performances are excellent. Firstly Aldis Hodges Hawkman is annoying as hell. But in many ways the character is meant to be. Hodge plays it will suave matching Johnson in alpha male stakes.
The 2 younger members of the team are good but don't have much scope to shine.
Dwayne Johnson nails Black Adam and makes the character his own in a way few DCEU leads could ever hope to.
Then to our legendary Thesbian Pearce Brosnan, he is perfect in every frame that he's in. His Dr Fate character almost steals the show from Johnson in a movie titled Black Adam. It just reminds you of Gandalf from Lord of the rings. He's imperious and hilarious at the same time. There's times when he observes the rival between Teth Adam and Kufor, in those moments he just looks like an amused father watching his 2 should brats at play. His final sequence in the movie is both impressive and heart wrenching simultaneously.

Henry Cavills appearance mid credits as Sups is a wow moment and he looks comic book accurate. This is exciting especially after we've learned Affleck will make a similar appearance in Aquaman 2.
Maybe Snyder's vision isn't dead after all.

The movie is a must watch if you're a DCEU fan. This is universe building at it's best.… Expand

La scrittura a tratti è ridicola, i ralenty sono talvolta imbarazzanti, The Rock sembra un pezzo di Tofu che si muove in giro, il villain ha la profondità di una foglio di carta, la JSA non alcun approfondimento e sbuca dal niente, la continuity narrativa non esiste.
Ma gli effetti visivi non sono malvagi, Black Adam ha una messa in scena tutto sommato dignitosa e spacca tutto con una certa grazia e Pierce Brosnan porta a casa la pagnotta.
Il punto è che nonostante i molti difetti del film, questo Black Adam non risulta assolutamente peggiore di tanta merda che ci è stata offerta durante la fase 4 della Disney (MCU); eppure, spazzatura tipo Eternals, il ben diretto ma idiota Doctor Strange 2, il bruttissimo Black widow e il vuoto Shang Chi sono stati recensiti meglio.

Characters were well-developed, as well as the relationship between some of them. Many characters were essential to the movie's plot as their development moved along with it. Clarity of ending of the movie was somewhat satisfactory, leaving more to be desired. Overall, Black Adam is a great action-packed movie with suspenseful scenes and moments of comedy in between fast-paced, action-packed fighting scenes.… Expand

I went to see a cool destructive movie in which The Rock kicks the absolute living s***t out of everyone, and that's exactly what I got. Couldn't be happier.

There was a bit of too much fluff at the very end, can be cut in future releases.

Excellent action movie, explosions, muscles, The Rock, nothing like a sexy man to delight the pupil, this is entertainment and for men a lot of testosterone throughout the film, I had a great time with this movie, I recommend it.

Filme sensacional, adorei ver Adão negro em ação. Gavião negro e senhor são sensacionais. O Átomo brincalhão demais. A menina do vento é linda demais, do jeito que ela desce, com o vento em volta é magnífico. Todos estão de parabéns.

The movie also has some political subtext - criticizing the USA exporting their "freedom" to eastern countries and destabilizing them. The best things are the visuals and action scenes which are just superior to anything Marvel has done revently. This is definitely a breath of fresh air in the superhero genre.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Much better than Eternals (2021), but not than the Avengers

Finally Big Super heroes team again! Goodbye to the latest floppy of Marvel’s big team, Eternals (2021). Marvel still failed to make a great big superhero team again, after the Avenger's end. Wait, how about Marvel’s Guardian of The Galaxy or the new Thor Adventure?
Umm.. that’s so a different market compared to the Avengers. So, it seems DC Comics is ready to rock their failure by casting The Rock as Black Adam. To rockin’ more, this movie cast a huge cast such as old James Bond, Pierce Brosnan. Demand more rock? There is a rock song from one of the greatest bands, The Rolling Stone.

The movie story is pretty odd because some of them are doesn’t make sense. But, slowly but surely it is revealed to make it make sense, although it is still not plausible. Friendly reminder, this is very typical for superheroes movie, so plz don’t compare to sci-fi, mystery, or even Martin Scorsese’s movies. Superhero movies focused on moral values, motivation, inspiration, and any emotional things. Not a logical thing, for sure. But still, this movie story could be greater! Best DC Comics movie story still Batman or Watchmen (2009).

Besides, the visuals were pretty disappointing. It could be greater too!? Personally, my best DC Comic visuals, especially on CGI are the Aquaman or Batman movies. But, this movie still has affordable visuals.

However, this movie is so satisfying! Suitable paced not boring or too long narration, and vividly feels like a superhero ambiance. Also, these movie jokes are fit, not too much but still funny. We might be already bored with the typical funny guy hero movie such as Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). Rite? Another satisfaction is the chars. This movie tells us big superhero team, Justice Society. This must be an intro for new movies of the DC Comic blockbuster arc! This could be proven by the mid-credit scene, don’t miss it at the end of this movie! Besides, personally, I love Dr. Fate's char! His looks and persona are so fancy & very extravagant! Sadly, he didn’t the main char so just appeared occasionally. Lastly, great moral values are very typical of superheroes movie. This movie implied, RN, irl, we mustn't see anything through the binary lens, only black and white. But, it is politically proper and not too much or too vivid such as Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). Recap, better watch it! It seems important to catch up the next DC Comics superheroes, esp. upcoming Aquaman sequels! Claimed as a part of DC Extended Universes (DCEU). That is why this movie provides a lot of superheroes. Good to fueled our demand for superheroes team ambiance! 7/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story
Black adam is way more better story than marvel.this is best movie of all time. Set in the imaginary Middle East country of Kahndaq, this meaty, feature-length teaser reframes a fan-favorite 'Shazam!' baddie as an antihero, though his greatest battles are still to come. Dwayne Johnson's larger-than-life physique makes him an ideal actor to play a superhero and Black Adam caters to his strengths, resulting in a reasonably entertaining origin story of a Middle Eastern slave who is transformed into a god. The latest instalment in the DC Extended Universe too often succumbs to the conventions of its genre - it's a film suffused with hokey punchlines and predictably gaudy action set pieces - but some compelling performances and director Jaume Collet-Serra's ebullient B-movie flourishes prove to be sufficient compensation.… Expand

The action sequencesIt was absolutely well done and any critic that didn't like it just doesn't like superhero movies. The story was clear, digestible and had surprises, the kind that made it feel novel despite being a known antihero movie. The action sequences were intermittently spread throughout the movie and were well executed to the most minute of details. Additionally, each action sequence is unique and showcases the protagonist's abilities. You really feel like you're watching a celestial being amongst humans and not an episode of power rangers(like in some recent super hero movies I wont name). I had watched reviews saying the action was over done or something along those lines and thats 100% untrue. The other heroes in the movie are also well done and fans will love this. You never feel like they had to tone down one character in order to make another character look great(like in Thor love and Thunder). Instead they make it obvious which characters are more powerful like in the comics. By doing this, the characters gel well. You can tell they put in the time to make sure the audience saw these character's true abilities on the big screen. It was fun watching Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone(Justice Society) portrayed excellently on the big screen. There is a surprise after the credits and its absolutely phenomenon. One final great detail about this movie is the distinction between Black Adam's way of pursuing justice and the one of the Justice Society. This is a crucial part of the movie. All I can say is thank you to Dwyane Johnson for bringing back good movies and some other thing you must see in the post credit scenes. To the critics that dont like this movie go watch Titanic and leave this for the fans and general population.… Expand

Recently a new cinema opened up in our town so we decided to call in and watch Black Adam. The film was what I have been missing about going to the cinema the last few years. A simple distraction from reality and a fun time. It is fair to say this film wont win any Oscar’s or generate cerebral thinking, but if you want a fun time and enjoy over the top action that doesn’t take its self too serious then I would advice giving this a watch. This film lacks much in “in your face” political messaging which is what I’ve been missing. I want good, fun films given how depressing the world is.… Expand

Very entertaining superhero film that imposes a superman like protagonist and dominating everybody who stands in their way. Dwayne Johnson does a very good job portraying an emotionless superhero, but the real star of the movie is Pierce Brosnan’s character that acts like a father figure that should’ve been more involved in the file. Most of the characters are dragged down by nonsense writing and is more filler than flavor.

The reviews for Black Adam here on Metacritic are definitely a case of when the critics and users don’t agree. I think the users are more accurate this time. I’ve even read a few were I’m not sure if they actually saw the movie. It’s a great COMIC movie. Probably one of the best that WB and DC have made. If you go in expecting anything more, you’ll likely be disappointed. There is so much here that was fresh. I like a lot of the action sequences, but I loved that they put both feet completely in the antihero aspect. Black Adam doesn’t care if he hurts or kills anyone and I believed The Rock in that role. Now, a lot of the plot was easy to see coming, but there were a few twist that I didn’t see coming. Like a lot of these movies there are annoying third act issues. As the plot progresses you can tell that it’s not ending so the decision to immediately undo what they just accomplished is frustrating. Most of the acting is fine, but there are some strange choices from the “people” of the region and the kid. I think this is more of a director issue possibly not know what they wanted at the time of filming or maybe were the movie was going. All of this said, if you liked Aquaman I think that you will enjoy this.… Expand

His role as Black Adam is on par with Robert Downey Jr/Iron Man that set the table for stage 1. While RD Jr. is a better actor, the Rock is way more of a bad man and oozes way more style and cool factor. This is DC's Phase 1 and super excited to see how it turns out!
