Black Adam

SagesRain shared a tip "After roughly of 15 minutes of pure, anadulterated exposition, this horrible movie started. I never thought I would be happy to see the rocks face, but atleast the movie eventually began, that being said it was not a great experience. It follows every trope and every cliche imaginable. The cinematography is boring, the usual gray and brown colors constantly fill the screen, making it so incredibly bland to look at. The comedy is out of place and ruins the serious tone the movie was obviously striving for. Black Adam was so poorly constructed , it almost seems like a parody of MCU movies. The one good thing I'll say about this movie is someone FINALLY got Dwayne out of his brown button up and white t-shirt combo."

queer-giraffe shared a tip "Initially struggles to find its footing but once the Justice Society enters the story it becomes more fun to watch. Dwayne Johnson’s anti-hero presents an intriguing new dynamic to the DCEU, one which I hope will be explored more than it was here, as the film can be too busy at times. Solid visual effects. Weak villain. The post-credits scene got the biggest reaction of all."

harvey_f_smith shared a tip "A great origin story for Black Adam from the Shazam part of the DCEU, as well as giving a flashback to the other wizards that weren’t seen in the first Shazam film. Worth watching to see the impact of what Black Adam brings to the DCEU in power and who can match him!"

rob_paul_4714 shared a tip "I knew when I saw this movie getting dragged on Twitter yesterday I was going to like it. Some of those comic book people are spoiled and feel entitled. This was great. The special effects are just downright amazing, the comedy is hilarious and The Rock was fantastic. Everything doesn’t have to be the best ever. But this was the most fun I’ve had with a movie in a bit."

mco shared a tip "I came to see what all the hate was about. Given what it is, you can't expect a cerebral film with its laughable dialog and plot, but I mean it passes the time. The ending boss fight is super anticlimactic."

a_b_1280 shared a tip "This is such a fantastic movie!!! The Rock did such an amazing job. The entire cast was perfect. Funny, action packed, and full of great moments."

sandy_lopez shared a tip "I just saw it tonight! I liked the movie, but it felt something was missing from it. I don’t know if was the connection to the characters or something else. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe I have to think about it."

vito_lupedee shared a tip "I believe that this movie exists purely so that the Rock can play a superhero. With that in mind, I went into this movie expecting to hate it (especially because I prefer Marvel movies over the DCEU.) But I didn't hate it. I didn't love it either. But I was entertained. Hawkman was a bad ass. The other actors did a great job in their supporting roles. In fact, the Rock was the least appealing of everyone involved. But overall, not a bad movie. A solid B."

skye__ shared a tip "Wow, that was bad. I had seen several good reviews and went in optimistic. Unfortunately, the clichés are over flowing, the cinematography is overdone, and the storyline was awful. Watched with several friends, the general consensus is 3/10 👎🏼"

averagejohn shared a tip "It was very good! I tried to post this before the movie started, but I didn't. And when I did, my movie theater has bad phone connection :/ But I loved it! Maybe my fave movie of 2022 so far, don't understand why it has so many bad reviews, but whatever. More movie for us haha Can't wait to re watch it"

nick_roye shared a tip "The Rock is a fantastic actor, legendary even. That said, I came away from this film underwhelmed. I don't know why. I'll give it a rewatch sometime and try for a better review... sorry."

norma_blanco shared a tip "First of all I am DC fan more so than Marvel. Love the animated movies, and I love Black Adam. All the actors did a marvelous job. Pierce Brosnan was perfect as Dr. Faith and Johnson did perfect playing Black Adam. I hope to see more."

jonathan_david_whit shared a tip "This is an interesting one! I thought it was ok, and I liked The Rock. However, this movie can’t quite figure out what it’s trying to do. Main characters that don’t make much sense in an environment that doesn’t resonate. Missed a great opportunity here, but it’s still worth watching. Grab some Popcorn and set your expectations to “Stun”! Enjoy!"

coobs shared a tip "So I really liked it. The story had a good flow and the acting was pretty good. I am glad I waited to see it at home but I think it is good."

alannah_rodriquez shared a tip "Loved it ! Lots of chuckles from the sarcasm and excellent story ! I am flabbergasted by that rotten tomatoes score😒 it deserves a much a better score ! Loved Dwayne as the dark hero black Adam 😍🖤"

sarra_zitoun shared a tip "I watched it in the theatre and i really enjoyed it, story wise it is not one of kind but it was interesting. The cinematography is great and the music goes well with each scene. Overall fun to watch."

evan_cook shared a tip "Fun and action-packed! Similar to Civil War, you can’t stop yourself from wanting everyone to just talk to each other and recognize common ground, but the battles and opponents needed to keep growing!"

lekita_t shared a tip "So this movie was good but could have been better. For me Black Adam's origin was a very good story, however this movie could have been done without the Justice Teams storyline altogether. That storyline got in the way and didn't make sense to what was happening. They could have found another way to have a couple of her superheroes pop in."

johnnie_waste shared a tip "The Rock Delivered on this one, it was a great movie. Awesome end credit scene. Definitely gonna be a Black Adam 2. Can't wait to watch it again on digital with any and a the bonus, deleted, extended scenes, and Gag reels. Two thumbs up."

britt-a shared a tip "You never got to really know the characters and didn’t really form attachments to care about anyone in the movie. It felt like it was over twice and kept waiting for it to end"

joslyn shared a tip "For what it is, it’s great! Really enjoyable and funny. You can definitely spend some time picking it apart, but overall I’m happy to add this to a list of fav superhero movies! Excited to see more of Black Adam and hopefully our other heroes (hint: CYCLONE PLZ) 😍"

ryan_fisher_6518 shared a tip "Pleasantly surprised by this movie not sure why all the negative feedback, honestly one of the DC universe's better projects. Atom Smasher and Cyclone meh but Black Adam, Dr.Fate and Hawkman were superb!!"

grant_mccollor shared a tip "Black Adam was an okay movie, it didn't do anything crazy but wasn't morbius bad. It honestly feels like a black panther knock off movie but imagine if black panther was an anti-hero and you get black adam."

Leaf.Kid shared a tip "It was ok, but I don't know, I feel like there was a lack of emotions to the characters. I feel like there were some actors who really pulled, but others not so much. The plot twist was kinda cool."

jenjn shared a tip "The Marvel and Dc Universe never ceases to amaze me. Loved every twist and turn but so sad that Henry Cavill will not return as Superman after that ending credit got me so excited ://"

sonia_burton shared a tip "Loved this action packed, thrilling fun ride of a movie, and starring Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) is so very easy on the eyes. Completely enjoyed this gem, great story telling from comic book to screen!!"

ahmad_whitaker shared a tip "This was actually a really good watch in my opinion. The story is very mixed and they definitely want you to create your own opinion on black Adam! It definitely pulls from a lot of the old superhero movie cliches but I think that since the movie is a few years late (in my opinion) so it’s good to have a 2019 feel! Action was AMAZING!! Ending was AMAZING!! Lots of potential here."

rat.god shared a tip "Horribly boring, I saw it in theaters with my partner and we left half way through because I couldn’t stay awake. Not a good role for the Rock."

flickeredflame shared a tip "best part was the league of heroes everything else was so scattershot that it was hard to get invested in but overall it was a good time"

justin_huddleston shared a tip "This is a bit of a disappointment considering how much time they had to work on it. Very boring characters, uninteresting story. nothing novel about this."

antonio_richardson shared a tip "I don't hate this, but I didn't like this. I mean, there were some cool things about it, but the action was so in my face at times it was almost disorienting. I couldn't help but compare it to the comic book run of the character which I know didn't help me to enjoy it. Black Adam is a movie that hopefully the filmmakers will learn from to make something in the future with more weight to it than this had, which was none. At no point was I routing for anyone in this movie, but I think that comes down to the way that it was written. I felt like I didn't get enough time with the characters overall to feel anything for them."

kat_6828 shared a tip "So good I did expect the ending I literally cried a little. Great movie and it connects with Shazam you will understand when you watch it."

emmeline_adkins shared a tip "When I read that DC was getting a new antihero character I was stoked but I didn’t realize they were gonna bring it up in the dialogue every five minutes in the movie—“you’re no hero” “you can’t look at everything in black and white” “I’m no hero”—like Jesus it’s like the writer just figured out what an antihero is and thinks they have to teach it to the audience like we’re 12. The special effects also left much to be desired, it felt like I was watching claymation during one fight sequence towards the end with The Big Bad Guy (who looked like a Western Christian rip off of what Satan looks like when I thought we were in Egypt, character design def could have been a bit more original). Like a solid 3/5"

jacey_ shared a tip "If they took the slow-mo out of this movie, it would be 45 minutes long. There were entire fight scenes that took place exclusively in slow motion and it started putting me to sleep. I wanted to like this movie, I really did. It wasn’t as terrible as TikTok made it out to be; it made me laugh a couple of times. It just wasn’t what it could have been. I wish, with all of my heart, that DC would hire some better writers."

noura_awad shared a tip "Straightforward and nonstop action. Different action film than other DC films. Engaging, amusing humor, with great eye catching notes. All in all, great film. I would recommend this film to reach your check list."

picknandstrumn shared a tip "Mostly just over cgi'ed characters punching each other in the face. Way too easy to tell who would be the turn coat villain. All these comic movies just need to stop and take a breather until they can figure out how to make a real worth while movie."

travis_ivey shared a tip "A very good popcorn movie. Lots of fun to be had. Kinda makes me sad the DCEU was ended, but hopefully James Gunn can make something amazing rebooting the universe."

me_and__the_worldwi shared a tip "Probably the best dc movie ive seen so far barring wonder woman. After marvel has started to go downhill in quality it was nice to see dc go up"

prince_campbell shared a tip "This movie was a point or two above mediocre. A slew of superheroes you never heard of. A lot of suspension of common sense. Good special effects. Bad one-liners. I completely understood why The Rock wanted to do this movie. The title character is interesting. But kind of a waste of time since it's a one off movie not actually connected to a larger DC universe. 7/10"

PAyscue shared a tip "Didn't really dislike but wasn't great & waaaaay too long. Lots of surly Rock quips & intricate fight scenes & CGI. Not worth 2 hours"
