I did not see any previews and had not heard of this movie. Where have you been hiding this? It certainly didn't get the PR that other similar movies get. A friend suggested it, knowing I love superhero type of movies. When I heard it was DC, I responded "meh" yet gave it a shot.
I am so happy I did, this movie takes us into a different area of the world with a hint of Indiana Jones, ties in ancient history and a bit of a twist, a couple unexpected delights in a world of predictability. I enjoyed the fresh approach and evolution of characters, with a a few little fun quips mixed in. In addition to an exciting journey as the story unfolded, Dwayne Johnson is magnificent in the lead role as Black Adam, and played his part superbly. I resonated with his anguish. I also loved Pierce Brosnan as the charming and wise Fate.
This movie peels back the layers and holds a mirror up to our own society and how we are quick to judge and condemn without looking deeper to get a better understanding and see the whole picture.
I truly hope we see more of Black Adam as there is unlimited possibilities in where the next adventure can take us, and dare we see Fate again? Kudos DC for bringing something with a little grit and depth, this definitely is one of your best.

I really enjoyed Pitch Perfect 1, and I enjoyed the story line and characters in Pitch Perfect 2, but the songs... the songs were lackluster, lukewarm, not just for the bellas but the treblemakers and DSM, with the exception of their first song (cars). The last original song was nice.. but didn't have that emotional element that makes one feel moved by the music.
I never saw this movie advertised in the theaters and feel it somehow snuck in under the radar else it would have been a blockbuster.
So lucky to come across this one. I've watched this movie (3) times already. It is a light, whimsical, action packed movie that is utterly delightful to watch. The main characters are wonderful together. Plus, no women were exploited in the making of this movie.
I found my foot tapping and a big smile on my face throughout the film. Wish more movies were like this one.
If you are stuffy, serious, and don't like to have fun, this movie may not be for you.
