Generic Zack Snyder cookie cutter film :(
very few good moments directing & VFX wise, and in all honesty, this movie felt like a parody most of the time LMFAOOOOOOOO
Why would there be instruction on how to free a highly dangerous criminal?
la scema post credit con superman da urloo
every time i really started to enjoy this movie that annoying child actor would slap my brains with its acting skills
A one time watch that is what i give it.
too much cgi... not inspired much trust in the nrand
At least it had better CGI than what Marvel produced for the last 5 years
It may have been rock bottom expectations but I was surprised that I was into this one. Maybe after the Venom movies and Eternals and stuff like that I will happily eat shit but this is a good version of those.
Acting and story-wise, it's good if you compare it to Singham 2011. I couldn't point out why I remembered the scenes from Singham while I was watching this but I suspect it has something to do with their lazy and absurd writing. I don't really understand how and why they approve such projects to begin with. You cannot make something amazing out of an uninspired story, and using the best actors and mediocre CGI won't help either.
I actually had some laughs early on in this one. The writing and a lot of the acting suffered pretty greatly thereafter though. These supporting players were all pretty weak. Sarah Shahi is gorgeous as always, and did decently well in her role, Brosnan was fine in his, and I liked Dwayne's Black Adam. The rest was pretty awkward cast wise. 6.3 for me on the super generous superhero scale.
Not the best, not the worst. It's worth a watch and rewatchable. Side note, we don't need a character's backstory in two lines of dialogue. Better not have it at all, if the character really doesn't mean anything in the movie.
No one has truly made think the Rock is anything more than an action hero. I hope one day, we see a director bring something different from him.
It's a super hero movie from DC, so I wasn't expecting Shawshank Redemption. They were also trying to closely mimic Marvel movies with this one. This has great action sequences and special effects meant to be watched in 4K HDR.
One of those movies that you don’t expect to be good due to the bad reviews. It is a ton of fun though. Despite being short on story and with not so good pacing.
Was a bit cliché and had it’s predictable moments but honestly, it was a great movie. I’d watch it again.
I give this movie a 7 at best, which, if you know me, is pretty generous for a hero movie. This one was a bit more in-depth than the cliché -yay-powers-come-villain-defeat-villain-the-end- kind of hero movies.
Storywise it's Black Panther meets Moon Knight. Otherwise not terrible, but nothing special
"Well, that wasn't as bad as I expected"
No real Rock catchphrases introduced, so that's a plus. The core film is alright. I like that this version of the character, and I would welcome seeing him interact with Captain Marvel (not the MCU one - the Shazam one) as much as with Superman and the JLA.
:heart:x7
The post-credit scene will give you goose-bumps and make you scream for MORE!
This movie however, is very stylish, and dark, very dark, too dark? It is interesting to watch Teth-Adam's journey into heroism. Some, ok most of the jokes are lame. It seems like the writers were trying to emulate, and incorporate MCU-like humor here - it did not work.
But I am definitely looking forward to seeing more from the DCU.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
I can see the truth is this Movie. The final battle between the Antichrist and Jesus! So symbolic. The movie itself was amazing!
I don't understand what is the point of Dr. Fate sacrifice
other than that, the movie is good
I like this movie because it was action from beginning to end. not too much chatting that overshadows the action. I have never seen anything black adam related before this movie. Now: black adam is the goat. F superman lol
The worst thing here is that, on screen, you mostly see polystyrene and CGI. The plot itself was a bit more complex and a bit less silly than the typical Marvel movie, even though the overall result was a bit less professional.
Honestly, I’m not sure why this movie is getting so much flack. This is a balls to the wall action movie, starring the Rock. They cut the fluff. There’s minimal plot. But I’ll be damned if this movie doesn’t start and give you a two hour action sequence. It’s quite simply a good time. It’s not groundbreaking. It’s not gonna make people like the Rock. It’s not gonna convince DCU haters that they make good movies. But if you like superhero action, this is a highly enjoyable watch and truly showcases how great Black Adam is.
Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend
I really enjoyed this movie finally a good movie
Massy, Generic, Popcorn Flick
Black Adam is a generic package of VFX, with little sense of character, craft, or creativity. Even though it misses the essentials of storytelling with its paper-thin plot, it effectively captivates the audience with its nonstop action extravaganza. As an individual origin, story it doesn't make it to the top nor does it introduce the justice society with true conviction. The screenplay is a bit messy and primarily focuses on the visuals and VFX, rather than developing strong characterizations. The sound design is surprisingly good which enhances all the set pieces effectively.
Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, doesn't do anything surprising or extraordinary. He as a performer has gained a lot of loyal fans and his presence itself deserves a cinematic experience. He is primarily expressionless throughout and most of the things are done by VFX. Aldis, Noah, and Quintessa are just the usual supporting cast but Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate is charming as usual.
Overall, Black Adam doesn't reinvent or do anything out of the box, not a brilliant film. But it does the basics right by adding sufficient yet outstanding action set pieces, subtle humor, and crisp run time which makes it an entertaining ride. The post-credit scene is something you wouldn't like to miss.

more of a 7.5 than 8
better than some of the marvel movies but it isn't perfect because : too much exposition and storylines , the bad guy feels too much like a child's comic book villain ; #spoiler dr fate's sacrifice felt useless
good ratio between fighting scenes and comic moments but not worth watching a second time.
Was a good movie!
pros:
- Exciting story.
- Great acting from Dwayne Johnson.
- Entertaining.
cons:
- Too many superheroes.
- Bad acting at times, they reacted like everything that happened was their everyday life.
- Felt like a copy of Avengers.
Partly confused, partly in two minds about this flick. I will just write it off as an alternate universe or something because the Shazaam origin story doesn’t seem to fit the previous movie(s) and the other characters seem to be a bit off as well. Suppose without any knowledge of previous movies with these characters it’s pretty much okay as a stand alone watch, though. :thinking:
It’s been too long for DC to have a movie neither too awkward nor to nerdy.
Good, not great. Certainly not up to the usual standards of our superhero movies.
Plot was ok, scenery was ok, acting wasn't particularly good, and the dialog was, for the most part, cringeworthy.
Action was ok but too much slow motion for no effect.
I don't know much about any of the superheroes but Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Cyclone, and Atom Smasher seem like poor choices to fight Black Adam, especially since Atom Smasher barely did anything.
I really like The Rock, he's a surprisingly good actor, but he's wasted in this movie. I hope he's given more to work with in any future DC movies.
All in all, an ok movie. I gave it a 6 out of ten for The Rock.
As an aside, I watched it in RPX REGAL PREMIUM EXPERIENCE 2D without knowing what it was. It has the moving seats, blasts of air, water spray, etc. It may enhance some movies and some may think it's fantastic, but it didn't add anything for me and I found it extremely distracting. The seats move way too much, to the point I thought my soda might spill.
For a movie called "Black Adam" i felt there wasn't enough of Black Adam, it should have been called "The JSA featuring Black Adam" or "JSA vs Black Adam"
Decent move for DC but I just kept thinking I have seen that before in a Marvel movie
1 = plane coming out the ground = x-men
2 = cyclone = storm from x-men
3 = atom smasher = ant man
4 = dr fate = dr strange
5 = eternium = vibranium
6 = hawkman = falcon
7 = kahndaq = wakanda
8 = I am sure there were more..........
Hawkman: Heroes don't kill. Not even the bad guys.
Adam: You bitches nearly destroyed the whole town fighting me. How many innocent people do you think died buried under the rubbles?
Hawkman: That was unintentional. Big difference!
The Rock truly did this movie justice. And the surprise after the credits will leave you shocked.
Black Adam was great, the rest of the characters not so much
Not the best DC movie, but definitely decent compared to others.
Black Adam's seriousness carries surprisingly well, while some jokes are left flat.
After seeing this movie I'm excited to see where they take this character.
Plus, DC fans will enjoy the post credits scene if you have not been spoiled already. (Try not to)
DwayneJohnson 's BlackAdam movie is a solid introduction to the character, yet not without its flaws. Enters ManOfSteel, HenryCavill Superman to erase all disappointments.
