I am willing to give this a shot when it comes out on streaming since it would eventually tie into Shazam which was surprisingly a fun watch. It's not like the current Marvel phase is pumping out great content.

I’ve seen a few good DC movies. Joker, Watchman, The Batman, Man of Steel, BVS.


The two listed in the shared universe are both garbage. Especially the one where they stopped fighting because their mommies had the same name.

Which is surprising because he's a Biden Bro to the core, enough to post videos during the election trying to explain why (he was bought and paid for imo)

Did anyone ask for this movie?


yes Dwayne did. With the super hero craze, he said he wanted to be a super hero and chose Black Adam.

RT critic score is worse than worthless in 2022.

All it means is either the checks cleared (85% or greater) or they didn't.

There’s not really much to stew on with Black Adam once you’ve left the theater, except to be somewhat amazed at how the story comments-but-doesn’t-comment on the actual political situation in the Middle East.




....sigh


Exactly. Anyone looking for a fair review from dipshits like this guy are mistaken. Going see it this weekend.

I always wait for the fan score. It's way more accurate.

People making fun of this scene are morons. This moment humanized Clark in Bruce’s eyes. Clark went from a dangerous alien to a somewhat human dude trying to protect his mother. You don’t have to do a lot of math to realize how this might affect Bruce. But go off.

Truth is there are several reasons that I think this will tank:

1) He can’t really act that well. Blasphemous to some, but he is one character over and over with some decent comedic timing. He was awful as the ScorpionK King and as Hercules.

2) Black Adam is honestly an ancillary character/villain that while great in his own right as a character is not one that holds its own as the lead of a film.

3) This movie was made to please Dwayne Johnson and to pander. The character was also changed to try and make it more of a hero than he really is in the comics to help push a narrative.

All of these things lead to a weakening of the story/film likely, but I may give it a chance after seeing actual reviews from the audiences.

Also, the trailer made it look like garbage, so not sure if that will help or hurt things.

I take nothing from critic reviews. They are consistently out of touch with regular people.

Captain Marvel has always been my favorite superhero after Batman, so I'm looking forward to seeing this film and deciding for myself. I hope it is at least better than WW84 and sets up a future conflict between Black Adam and Captain Marvel.

I look forward to watching this high as hell.

Lots of special effects and colors and lights and stuff.

I just can’t imagine the mindset of a person going into a super hero movie starring the Rock and expecting profound political commentary on the Middle East….

Dang. I heard good things about it, tbh.





Didn't see Shazam yet, so it's a bit out of my wheelhouse.


( Do you need to see Shazam first? I know nothing of the story save what I recall from the bad 70's live action show)

Now do marvel where the smartest man alive makes universe altering choices based on petty and childish reasons. Or where a hero willing to kill his GF to save the universe also condemns the universe to obliteration because that GF might now be dead. Or you know the dozens of other stupid plot devices and decisions that happen in the MCU.
