Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, and featuring a remarkable lead performance by Dwayne Johnson, the spiky and majestic Black Adam is one of the best DC superhero films to date.

We Got This Covered
Black Adam is nowhere near the game-changing revolution for the DCEU that was promised, but it's a solid introduction for Dwayne Johnson's antihero nonetheless.

I really don't understand why so many people hate everything these days. I thought Black Adam was a good movie. Yes Dwayne Johnson is not the best actor in the world, but he did just fine in this movie. I almost didn't see this movie because of all the negative reviews. I'm glad I didn't listen to them because I thought the movie was fun and worth watching.

Black Adam review i love opening action kill scenes can’t believe her own brother betrayed his sister just to get the crown I love this casting introduce other justice league members I love how fast pace this movie is I hate that Adam got tricked into killing him just so so this for the bad guy, it’s turned into a demon champion to fight to take over the throne, but also have the same type of power as black Adam, so somebody can challenge him for the throne because he blamed him black Adam blamed himself that he killed on mine, but he really didn’t and that’s the one part that I hate is that it’s almost like they want him to give up because he’s a killer but then at the same time they realize that maybe sending him to sleep again to bury him to feel like it helps to protect the people, but he’s really actually helping so he’s almost like 5000 years ago. The gods made the mistake of trapping him because they thought he was a killer, but in reality, he was seeking justice for his son, so this thing was more of a complex. and more of a misunderstanding I love at the end they all came together to defeat demon champion action and fight scenes was amazing as marwan kenzari is amazing playing bad guy roles isis she was amazing mom and character. Her son was amazing Kent was amazing in Dwayne Johnson playing Black Adam. He was just born for this role. He did an amazing job like everything and it’s like he even used like tears WWE background for this movie when it comes to the actions and the fight scenes and when it came to his character work, he really used really used his wrestling background for this role and how the way the movie ended it look like it could like make a sequel, but I don’t know if we’re gonna get a sequel but how it ended it look like it would like it’ll be amazing if we do get a sequel or if not get a sequel at least another black Adam follow up movie and JamE$ gun DC world to follow up this movie but if a movie it but if this movie doesn’t get a sequel, it’s it’s amazing. It’s still amazing and enjoyable like I don’t think this movie should be like a one and done movie. It’s look like this movie should be a sequel, but but this is a very good movie. If it doesn’t get a sequel it’s OK but it’s definitely worthy of a sequel the visual effects for this movie looks very beautiful and amazing like throughout this entire movie and then especially when it came to the fight scenes arri and red digital cinema cameras looks so amazing and beautiful 5 star 10 out 10 star 100 out 100 star

For a movie that’s supposed to take D.C. in a new direction, Black Adam sure seems like something we’ve seen plenty of times before.

Screen Rant
Though suffering from repetitive plot beats and thin characters, Black Adam is powered by Johnson's performance and its promise of an exciting future.

Observer
There are individual scenes, individual moments of action and even characters that actually work, but as a whole, Black Adam is a tangled, cluttered mess.

Maybe they thought that for the amount of time this movie had been gestating it just had to be something special. But for as long as this thing has been cooking, the end result is seriously underbaked.

Seriously, don’t see Black Adam. Don’t encourage this. I don’t even want to admit that it’s an actual movie, but assuming it is, it’s the worst of the year — and one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Die Geschichte und die Action sind ganz okay. Das Problem: Heldenfilme sind zurzeit Massenware. Der Film scheitert höchstens an seiner Durchschnittlichkeit. Die Helden von DC haben keinen wow-Effekt (mehr). Der Humor ist gut.

Awful, cringe worthy film. Black adam is too busy trying to be Superman instead of being himself. Awfully written with and uninteresting storyline.

Full of action movie cliches. Extremely CGI heavy. CG is mediocre at best. You've seen this movie 1000 times already. Pierce and Dwayne are half decent, but dont waste your precious time.
