Summary
Featured reviews
Surprised this is getting decent reviews
Otherwise very dull characters which you care little about, wonky special effects in places and humour which doesn't work most of the time. Dwayne Johnson has little charisma in this film and I simply didn't care what happened. This was overall kinda bad honestly.
3.5/10.
Stupid action
DC is trying too mucb tobe copy the formula from DCEU, like the little jokes here and there, some small references to get audiences something ti chuckle along, but this was 10 years ago, and we are all bore of Marvel now, so Black Adam just feel like an badly age wine, tasteless. The Rock is showing his age in this movie, they shuold polish him a little.
It was surprisingly fun!
But wow, I was oh boy taken by surprise by the movie!
Okay, it's not the best super hero movie out there and doesn't have an overwhelmingly deep story. But it doesn't try to be that either.
It was fun, enjoyable, fights where amazing, soundtrack was great, just a well-made hero movie where you can see superhumans dish out in fight!
And considering the quality of the MCU we have received recently, I would definitely recommend this one to avid super hero fans!
Pretty Bad
Disappointing
On the plus side there is an effort put into the story and Dwayne Johnson and his rediculusly strong shoulders buldging from his costume are 100 percent real amongst all the boring CGI. But all the team building with rubbish characters no one cares about has already been DC's downfall with the justice league, Suicide squad and even that Harley Quinn movie. And it's takes up too much time here too.
There's not enough time dedicated to making us care about any of these minor characters and their random powers. Just action, action, action that doesn't matter when you don't care about anyone in the movie.
There's some decent gags in the movie I suppose. But overall its just alot of green screen and feels like your watching a computer game instead of a movie. It's more "Aquaman" than "Shazam." So if you liked that one you'll probably like this.

- TriviaJordan Peele was originally offered the chance to direct the film when it was first announced in 2017, but Peele declined, saying, "I'm not a fan of superhero movies and I'd hate to take that chance away from a director who is passionate about them."
- GoofsAt one point, they state the crown weighs 23 pounds. However, in several places in the movie, people are carrying/lifting it like it weighs a few ounces.

Kent Nelson: Call me Dr. Fate.
Karim: How bad is it, Doc? Am I dying?
Kent Nelson: I'm not that kind of doctor. But don't worry, I can see the future. This isn't how you're going to die.
Karim: How do I die, then?
Kent Nelson: Just stay away from electricity.
Karim: Wait, what? I'm an electrician. How the hell am I supposed to do that?
