Another big mistep from DC. I hope Dwayne Johnson would never do another one as Black Adam. It was really terrible. It was like he was thinking to be impersonating a wrestler with superpowers. The story doesn't make sense. The charactersAnother big mistep from DC. I hope Dwayne Johnson would never do another one as Black Adam. It was really terrible. It was like he was thinking to be impersonating a wrestler with superpowers. The story doesn't make sense. The characters aren't developed. Furthermore I was hoping in a movie where an evil character was the protagonist, like the Joker. It would have been a nice strategy to differentiate DC from Marvel. Without taking into account that the Justice Society had no introduction whatsoever, and it wasn't even supposed to exist according to what was said in the previous films. Yet another break in an already shattered timeline. Last but not least, since when is Black Adam Superman's arch nemesis?… Expand

This was the movie that killed the DCEU.
She was also to blame for taking Henry Cavill away from us as Superman.

When is the last time you heard that? By a clear margin the best superhero film in many years, with the Rock bringing a truckload of intensity and presence to the character, a great story from the point of view of the anti-hero that is not often told, and truly entertaining supporting characters. This is what fans want to see, this is how these movies should be made. And an absolute epic showdown incoming that is already building excitement.

No one should have the slightest interest what the 'critics' have to say - very rarely do they write reviews focused on the actual content anymore. They are the antithesis of what art and movie-making represents - and they are gloriously being drowned out by this fantastic film. Thank you Rocky!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So if this movie confirmed anything it was one thing, Dwayne Johnson isn't a real movie star, he simply cannot carry a top-tier movie. Johnson merely seems to be the ultimate ensemble actor who can boost a franchise, but on his own, he simply ain't got the chops. The new Arnie he certainly is not, confirmed.

Plot wise the whole thing is so basic and generic with little imagination in my opinion. Black Adam is accidentally resurrected from his tomb by a strong female character trying to uncover an ancient mcguffin. Black Adam is seen as a bad guy thusly the Justice Leag...sorry Justice Society (a precursor to the League) is called into action to bring him down.

The main issue I found with this movie was the simple fact that most of the runtime is made up of the Justice Society fighting Black Adam, that's it! The entire movie is set within this fictional ancient city which looks like somewhere in Egypt or the Middle East and nothing much else really happens. We just get lots of the usual superhero battle sequences involving lots of super punching and super throwing either into things or through things. The CGI effects are overall pretty terrible to boot which doesn't help matters. Everything is SO obviously CGI with that nasty plastic rubbery-looking gloss stuck alongside obvious-looking bluescreen shots and obvious sets. It sounds cliche but everything just looks like a videogame sequence. It just doesn't look convincing at all and in this day and age I simply expect more because I know it can be so much better.

Black Adam himself suffers the same problem any Dwayne Johnson movie suffers, Dwayne Johnson. In that I mean Johnson simply cannot act beyond his persona and he ALWAYS comes across as Dwayne Johnson in a costume, whatever that might be. You want a fun comedy romp in a jungle, or a ridiculous action flick with glimmering muscles then he's perfect, but that's it. Johnson trying to play it dark and murdering people just doesn't work because it just doesn't suit him. For the time being, he simply doesn't have the range.

As for other characters, let's quickly talk about the Justice Society. Boy oh boy do these guys suck ass. I mean seriously, talk about the poor man's Avengers. The bottom-of-the-barrel superheroes. We couldn't afford any decent characters or there weren't any good ones left so we had to use these guys, geez!! Hawkman looks ridiculous with his bird-shaped helmet adorned with feathers, he's also been race-swapped. I guess his super power is mainly flight? I guess that's useful for...flying. As her name suggests Cyclone controls the wind (Ugh!). Seems kinda useless and funnily enough she doesn't really do much in the movie because how's that effective against a Superman-type character like Black Adam? She's also race-swapped. Atom Smasher has the ability to grow to an enormous size like a giant, again pretty useless in the movie. And last but not least the poor man's Dr. Strange...Doctor Fate who funnily enough has virtually the same set of powers, I think, I'm not a comic expert. And yes I realise some of these characters appeared before their Marvel counterparts but I always found it funny and stupid how both Marvel and DC have essentially characters that mirror each other. They even have their X-Men-type ship to fly around in that is stored in their own X-Men-type mansion.

I guess the biggest disappointment here is after all the cookie-cutter crap I had to sit through to get to the cookie-cutter finale, the big bad guy turned out to be this laughable looking Devil/Satan-esque character that looked like he was getting ready to fight Sub-Zero. Talk about videogame looking nonsense Jesus! Literally everything in this movie was the most generic of generic superhero poop I've seen so far. You could have literally had ANY superhero character in here and it wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever. The human characters were completely inconsequential, much like the plot really. And naturally you had Marvel-esque quips (which totally underscored the tone) because DC is always playing catchup despite that Marvel aspect now losing favour.

I didn't really expect much here, at this point it merely feels like they are churning out superhero movies of any and all characters simply to keep the wagon rolling. This movie is literally the epitome of cookie-cutter, paint by numbers, off the factory line etc...There is nothing here that is original and nothing here that needed to be shown. This movie simply didn't need to be made. A Dwayne Johnson vanity project that admittedly could have been something as we've all been wondering how The Rock would fair in a cape, but somehow he screwed it up and all we have left is a plain boring superhero clone of a movie. That Superman credit scene will also go down in cinematic history as one of the biggest 'what if' dead ends ever (bit like Skeletor in 'Master of the Universe'). An open ending to something that will probably now never happen.… Expand

Since 2019, the movies of the DCU have been a lot better than the Marvel movies, which unfortunately have become so abysmal since the death of the great Stan Lee that it hurts inside. I hope that WOKE-Disney sells Marvel as soon as possible (Lucasfilm too!), otherwise I see no future for these two great franchises.
Two points deducted for race-swapping some characters, which is annoying. Otherwise a very successful, well-made DCU movie.… Expand

This is far more nuanced and poignant than anything Disney or Warner have made in the superhero genre up to this point, that for some critics to pretend they've watched it and call it bland is, quite honestly, an insult to professional reviewers who actually take their jobs seriously.
Black Adam, as a movie, is driven by a commentary on the nature of prejudice, both global and personal. It uses the narrative to ask the viewer important questions about why they assume their moral judgement is above question and forces them to constantly change their perspective and adapt to new information rather than just lazily pick a side and insist they're "the good guys". Above all Black Adam asks Hollywood and the hero movie genre to take a long hard look at itself and ask if it really just wants to recycle the exact same one-sided stories, over and over again.
Any critic calling this movie bland, shallow or by the numbers, should stop letting Disney's marketing department write their reviews for them, because they clearly didn't watch the movie themselves.… Expand

The most interesting aspect of this movie is the post-credit scene and the implications for the future of the DC cinematic universe.

That would have been way better not only would it actually be funny but also wouldn't be super dumb because again Fate wanted to use him to find the boy and Adam could have easily grabbed him before he hit the ground the same Adam who was also looking for the boy and had reason to not just let the guy die… Expand

There was a vast amount of well choreographed action sequences and the movie had rather impressive special effects. Similarly to many DC movies, the humour was clever and the film had a few good gags. The film stars Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher and Sarah Shahi as Adrianna Tomaz. Overall, despite there being a slightly dull plot and (at times) unnecessarily lengthy scenes, Black Adam was an entertaining and perfectly enjoyable movie.… Expand

The movie had serious pacing problems but the visuals were nice. Without the woke talking points I'd give it six stars.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 6
Acting: 8
Plot: 6

After a very long development hell, Black Adam finally made it to the big screen not only as the eleventh instalment of the DC Extended Universe but with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the title character who have been attached to the role for decades.

In the year of 2600 BC, a young boy in Kahndaq was given the power of Shazam by the Council of Wizards which he used the power to kill King Ahk-Ton, the tyrannical ruler of the country. His crown known as the Crown of Sabbac was hidden by the wizards and the champion who killed the king was never heard again.

In the present day, Kahndaq is now occupied by an international criminal organisation called Intergang, who have turned the country into a safe haven for dangerous criminals and mercenaries while exploiting the country’s natural resources and oppressing the people. The people of Khandaq are hoping for the champion to return and restore order to the country. An archaeologist and resistance-fighter, Adrianna Tomaz, is searching the Crown of Sabbac with the help of her brother Karim and their colleagues, Samir and Ishmael Gregor (Kenzari), to prevent it from falling into the hands of Intergang.

Once they recovered the crown, they were attack by Intergang and in the process, Adrianna awaken the champion whose name is Teth-Adam/Black Adam (Johnson). He kills the Intergang soldiers while Adrianna manage to get the crown. Black Adam’s emergence attracts the attention of Justice Society. Led by Adrian Carter/Hawkman, he along with the other heroes which consists of Kent Nelson/Dr. Fate (Brosnan), Albert Rothstein/Atom Smasher and Maxine Hunkel/Cyclone to stop him from causing more destruction in Kahndaq.

When Black Adam finally arrived on the big screen, I was really excited for the movie since the movie was in developement hell so long as far as I can remember. Unfortunately, the movie is not exactly what I thought it to be. While the movie has tons of action scenes and great special effects but the movie does not have much character developments and the story is mediocre at best. I felt the movie put too much focus on the former than the latter.

The use of Justice Society in this movie also took some spotlight away from Black Adam since this is supposed to be his solo movie. I think they should have been reserved for future movies instead of featuring in a first solo movie. Even other superhero movies focus on their title character first in their first solo movie before others. In addition, the heroes of Justice Society do not have much character developments too. They just appeared in this movie out of nowhere with no backstory on how the team was formed in the first place.

The good thing about this movie is the performance of the cast especially Dwayne Johnson and Pierce Brosnan. I can tell that Dwayne really gave his best acting for this movie ever since he have been attached to the role for so long. I guess it is safe to say that it paid off. There are other characters from the previous movies also show up in this one but I will not reveal who it is. At least, the movie tried to stay consistent.

In the nutshell, Black Adam is neither a good nor a bad movie. It is just an OK movie and nothing really special. Do stay back for a mid-credits scene because there is someone in that scene we have not seen that person for a long time.… Expand

This movie looks cool, but you don't want to think too hard about what's happening or you would not enjoy this movie. If you want to see some action superhero movie just for the fights this one is fine. If you are looking for more... keep looking.

They don't have a single moment that breaks the movie, but their presence is so ubiquitous that gradually the movie gathers mass like a snowball of irritation until the end is an avalanche. 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. This is an okay rental if you have something else to do like laundry or an online bartender certification.… Expand

She is a spitting image of Lori Lightfoot the worst mayor Chicago has ever had. And it's not even believable she would have any rank over any super heroes.. ever.. this movie had potential to be the best of DC but they messed it up with the screenplay and lack of quality characters.

But most problematic to me is that it firmly stays a comic book movie; a world and plot that are way too simplistic and made up that nothing feels 'real' about what you're seeing. Not real despite the (welcome) imperialistic critique in it's heavy handed undertone.

Я так понял, DC решили обзавестись своими киношными доком Стренджем здесь док Фейт, своей Шторм здесь Циклон и своим Соколом здесь Ястреб. Но вот зачем им понадобился второй Супермен?
Короче фильм у меня вызывал, то там то здесь, один вопрос:Я так понял, DC решили обзавестись своими киношными доком Стренджем здесь док Фейт, своей Шторм здесь Циклон и своим Соколом здесь Ястреб. Но вот зачем им понадобился второй Супермен?
Короче фильм у меня вызывал, то там то здесь, один вопрос: "Как это возможно?". И это касается не сцен с супер силой, это понятно, а сцен из "нормальной" жизни людей.
Пример:
Вот они идут втроём в пещеру, а вот один уже упал со скалы и никто этого не заметил - Как это?
Корона весит 5000 лет посреди пещеры в воздухе, её ищут в этом месте многие поколения людей и не могут найти - Как это?
Авторы всё время путаются с летоисчислением. 2600 лет д. н. эры + 2022 года нашей у них складывается в число = 5000 лет - Как это?
Измаил вообще говорит, что уже 5000 лет!!! его родственники передают из уст в уста историю о наследии трона. Да за 5000 лет целые расы исчезали, а у этого только генеалогия раз 20 длинее чем у французских королей - Как это?
И таких вопросов много, но ответ у авторов один - "А вот так!!!"
Ещё во всех анонсах говорилось, что эта история будет связана с уже вышедшими фильмами вселенной DC, но кроме А. Уоллер и Супермена после титров, никого лично я не заметил. Все герои новые. Сопереживать некому. Почему то мне сразу стало понятно, что все выживут. За дока Фейта сильно не расстроился из за выше сказанного. А вот, кстати, Железного человека в "Мстителях" жалко было, к нему успел привыкнуть.
Что касается визуальной части, то здесь всё на высоте. Всё летит, взрывается. Красота.
Сюжет простоват, но для 12 - 16 летних подростков вполне прокатит.
Фильм, как по мне, стоит в одном ряду с марвеловским "Шан-Чи и легенда десяти колец". Смотреть можно, но не более.… Expand

Now the fanboys in general and Dwayne Johnson in particular might argue that this 2 hr proof-of-concept demo is just mindless junk concocted to appease the insatiable appetite of comic book geeks, so don't even try to discuss it objectively.

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

This is just terrible. There is nothing good about this movie. The story is dumb and the effects are as bad as I've seen in a DC flick, and that's an achievement. This reminds me of a cheap foreign knock-off of the X-men.

look, this movie is really good. But, unfortunatelly, there's 2 problems. 1- It's a comedy movie. Dwayne didn't has a really good participation in the movie (considering that is comedy movie). He was superserious all the time, so Black Adamlook, this movie is really good. But, unfortunatelly, there's 2 problems. 1- It's a comedy movie. Dwayne didn't has a really good participation in the movie (considering that is comedy movie). He was superserious all the time, so Black Adam wasn't a good choice for an action/comedy movie. 2- At least 50% of the people who watched this movie didn't even know who is Black Adam. I think DC should explain more from the caracter BEFORE making a movie of it.… Expand

I was mostly really bored during the runtime of this movie. The action scenes were well done but I didn't get to really latch on to any of the characters including Black Adam. Even though I knew that this movie got mixed reviews going in, II was mostly really bored during the runtime of this movie. The action scenes were well done but I didn't get to really latch on to any of the characters including Black Adam. Even though I knew that this movie got mixed reviews going in, I thought it would be a little more entertaining than it was. Dwayne Johnson's humor is stripped away in this film and there is not much humor in this movie whatsoever. I didn't get to know anything about the Justice Society characters either which was really disappointing. I think this is one of the most boring superhero films in recent years.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incrível!! As cenas de luta são intensas, os efeitos são bons. E a ideia de ficar "Trocando de protagonista" funciona muito bem. Porém o plot não é a voisa mais inovadora do mundo,funciona bem mas poderia ser melhor… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Adam will entertain you, but it isn't a balanced film like most MCU films. MCU films have become a standard for superhero films. (I value DC a lot more than Marvel)

Positives: This film has a lot of action and a great VFX (except for that one weird red guy). Dwayne convinced me that he is Black Adam. Hawkman and Dr. Fate create intrigue. The clash serves very well since you won't be able to decide who you want to side with.

Worries: The story doesn't give us the chance to build emotional attachment/closeness to the justice society members. Too much was there to pack inside 125 minutes. We aren't made aware of their true motivations and goals; they just enter the story to deal with Black Adam. The mom-son duo is weirdly calm and easy-going in the middle of the ruins. The repetitive cliche plot of a kid who creates "hope". Buildings are becoming dust and superheroes are fighting, but these two maintain their looks. And then Sabbac... that is where you F'ed up. He looks terrible.

And yes, before you trash DC, understand that Doctor Fate was launched before Doctor Strange, and Atom Smasher was launched before Ant-Man (the latter's design also copied by Marvel).… 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
