DC's "Black Adam" (Oct. 21, 2022)

[TripleAgent]

Inflation is hitting disposable income. Halloween. Tepid reviews with Black Panther a week out isn’t doing this any favors.

This needed to be exceptional to get a billion.

Panther will probably lap this in two days.

You may have a point. 2 IMAX tickts ran me 47 dollars

Still best non-Batman DC movie. It deserves more than most of that crap.

Just saw it. I enjoyed it for what it was. They stayed in their lane and made a fun movie.

 

[The Observer]

Solid film, very entertaining.

Story and dialogue wasn’t great, but the non stop action and fight scenes were top notch.

I prefer this over most marvel films.

Lowkey been stanning this breh for a while. I feel like his career has been gaining momentum for a while now.

 

[In The Zone '98]

This is how superheroes and villains are supposed to fight.

Definitely has a presence on screen. Gonna check out more of his movies

Very believable leader and fighter in this movie.

Glad he got the opportunity.

I saw this yesterday. The Rock was decent but they tried to make Black Adam seem cool by just making everyone around him completely useless. I thought I would like this more than I did.

Definitely has a presence on screen. Gonna check out more of his movies

He’s good in the show Leverage

 

[UpNext]

I seen this yesterday and it was dope. Non stop action. No way in hell was that trash ass Thor movie touching this. I got this slightly above the Dr. Strange movie too. Best comic book movie since No Way Home

 

[WHolla09]

Just got back from watching this. Movie was actually dope. Went in with low expectations and it easily surpassed them. Definitely top 3 DECU movie

Not a bad flick I enjoyed the fighting scenes and Rock did his thing

That kid on the skateboard was horrible tho

 

[Emoryal]

a friend of mine hated Shazam because he felt like the child actor was more mature acting the grownup actor playing the same the character..
The kid was basically this brooding low key street savvy kid dealing with bullies and a mother who doesn't love him. kinda serious all the time,
then when he transforms into an adult body heacts all childish and goofy. like a caricature of a teenager

Yeah that threw me off that movie a bit toi

I think I saw a different movie than the rest of y'all, cause this was the worst superhero movie I've seen as an adult.

This was even worse than Thor 1,2, and 4. Worse than Eternals.

This even made Suicide Squad #1 look good.

Acting

• Brother from Leverage - was doing way too much. "Beat his ass" *groan*
• Rothstein and Sista Gurl - why are they even having some BS relationship.
• James Bond Sr. Held it Down.
• The Rock acted like a Rock. Like a less funny Drax.
• Sarah Shahi looking good tho
• Eff that kid (plus he need to pick a stance - he's goofy foot when the camera is on him, and regular foot when he's doing tricks)

I didn't mind all of the exposition.
I stopped being impressed with CGI sometime after the 3rd Transformers movie.
The fights was cool. (although it's only faceless mooks getting BlackAdam'd)

But when the movie ends the first time - why does Big Dweezy choose to give up his powers?

They got all these millions for Dr. Fate set pieces - but they can't write a script that makes sense?

Why people make the choices they do is the heart of the movie, imo.
