Black Adam movie review: This Dwayne Johnson film ain't all bad (The Indian Express)

Black Adam movie review: This Dwayne Johnson film has just the right amount of fun and games to lighten the mood of this story from the DC Extended Universe ...

So we have a number of clear enemies, and supposed enemies, taking Adam on, only to meet the fate we know is coming. As the titular character Black Adam, all Johnson really has to do is thrust his chest out, stare long and hard, and yet look light enough to stand floating in air (which he does a lot, when he is not zooming around, per se). They seem like a team that could hang together amiably, which is a comforting thought if the future of the world lies in their hands. A bad plan is better than no plan at all – that is another nugget the film is fond of. Amer is the cliched, overweight, funny sidekick, but somehow he makes it work. So the characters are a good mix, with people of different religions, races and colours arrayed on both sides.

'Black Adam' movie review: Dwayne Johnson saves the day, despite ... (The Hindu)

The movie rides on Dwayne Johnson's massive shoulders and considerable charisma, and all naturally comes right in the end in a storm of CGI.

The back-and-forth between Amon and Adam is reminiscent of John Connor urging the Terminator to be cool in Terminator 2: Judgement Day; we almost expected Adam to say. A university professor who is also a resistance fighter, Adrianna, (Sarah Shahi) is looking for the Crown of Sabbacc to ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands. Back to the Jaume Collet-Serra ( Jungle Cruise) led Black Adam where the despotic king Anh-Kot, intends to use Eternium to create the Crown of Sabbac, to get unlimited power and rule the world...

'Black Adam' Review: Heroism, but Paint It Black (The New York Times)

Dwayne Johnson stars in this overstuffed superhero film about an ancient figure granted god powers.

“There are only heroes and villains,” says Hawkman, a character who, despite Hodge’s solid performance, is unbelievably saddled with this reductive mind-set; that way, the movie can remake the same point it spends two hours repeating. And if you thought the time of action movies using slow-motion as a crutch was over, “Black Adam” has bad news for you. Heroes like Superman and Aquaman are out being saviors, but they have conveniently overlooked Kahndaq, Amon says to Adam, suggesting that even the world’s finest do-gooders can be selective and unfair when it comes to fighting evil. Centineo and Amer are saddled with the responsibility to provide comic relief as goofy sidekick types, but both hit the same flat notes. — transformed the teenage Billy Batson into the red-spandex-wearing capester Shazam (Zachary Levi) in that Adrianna (Sarah Shahi), an Indiana Jones-esque Kahndaqi professor turned artifact hunter, is searching for the aforementioned diadem of doom, with help from her bumbling brother, Karim (Mohammed Amer), and hero-obsessed son, Amon (Bodhi Sabongui).

The Rock's 'Black Adam' is a bland, 'color-by-numbers' DC Comics ... (CNBC)

Not even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson could salvage the Warner Bros.' latest entrant into the DC Extended Universe, "Black Adam."

Johnson has been connected to the Black Adam character at least 15 years, explained Matt Singer in his review of the film for ScreenCrush. Critics also narrowed in on the narrative choices of "Black Adam." "After two hours of dour table setting, you're left with a clear direction for DC's cinematic future — and a lot less interest in actually watching it." "'Black Adam' is in such a hurry to pitch this batch of C-list heroes into their battle with the protagonist, that your head might be spinning." "At one point, with the audience exhausted by all the carnage, they introduce skeletons who rise up as a legion from hell, just what we wanted." has released a DC Extended Universe movie that is more exhausting than exciting, spooling out tedious exposition alongside ugly action for a muddled mess of a movie that squanders its big budget and the promising star power of Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, and Noah Centineo." Skateboard kid for the tweens! Centineo for the teens! "It's just predictable and color-by-numbers, stealing from other films like an intellectual property super-villain." "Black Adam," which premieres Friday, did not impress critics, generating a meager 53% on Rotten Tomatoes from 102 reviews as of Thursday afternoon. He is imprisoned for nearly 5,000 years and emerges in modern times to dole out his own unique form of justice. "Amid a slew of publicly damned decisions, Warner Bros.

'Black Adam' Ending Explained: If You Can't Tame Your Rage, Use It (Collider.com)

However, besides serving as an original story to the titular antihero, Black Adam also introduces a version of the Justice Society composed of Pierce Brosnan as ...

Ishmael turns into Sabbac and is ordered to sit on the throne of Kahndaq to open a portal to Hell and burn the planet to the ground. After Doctor Fate’s passing, the barrier around the throne is also dismissed, giving the Justice Society a chance to fight the villain. Even so, Teth-Adam decides to become a protector for Kahndaq, ensuring no one would take the Intergang place in the future. Ishmael knew Black Adam would kill him if Amon was in danger and planned to go to hell with the Crown of Sabbac. Ishmael is the last descendent of the king and rightful heir of the power of Sabbac. When the fight is over, Hawkman agrees to leave Teth-Adam alone, understanding that the people of Kahndaq want him to become their protector. So, when Ishmael is greeted by demons in the underworld, they grant him their powers, turning him into their own Champion capable of opposing the Council of Wizards. Knowing he couldn’t hurt Hurut, the king attacked his family, killing his mother and leaving Teth-Adam on the brink of death. Five millennia before the main events of Black Adam, Kahndaq was ruled by a tyrant king who enslaved his own people to work in the mines. And with enough Eternium, the king hoped to forge the Crown of Sabbac, which gives its wearer the powers of the six mighty demons. However, besides serving as an original story to the titular antihero, Black Adam also introduces a version of the Justice Society composed of Pierce Brosnan as [Doctor Fate](https://collider.com/doctor-fate-black-adam-comic-book-history-explained/), Quintessa Swindell's [Cyclone](https://collider.com/black-adam-cyclone-explained-quintessa-swindell/), Aldis Hodge's [Hawkman](https://collider.com/hawkman-black-adam-comic-book-history-explained/), and Noah Centineo as [Atom Smasher](https://collider.com/atom-smasher-explained-black-adam-noah-centineo/).

'Black Adam' Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed, Explained (Collider.com)

Now that Black Adam is in theaters, it's time to explain all the easter eggs and references of Dwayne Johnson's antihero movie.

The Rock of Finality is the dark mirror of the Rock of Eternity, a focal point for magic that the Wizard Shazam uses as his base. Task Force X, to those needing a reminder, is the official name of the Suicide Squad. At the end of Black Adam, Amanda Waller threatens to send someone to contain Teth-Adam if he ever steps outside Kahndaq. In 2019’s Shazam!, we learn that the Wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou) has been looking for a worthy Champion for centuries after someone abused his powers and almost destroyed the Council of Wizards. The metal has gravity-defying properties, and both armor and weapons made from this metal respond to the mental waves of its owner. It’s also nice to see Hounsou back in the DCEU, even if just for a cameo. Nth is a special metal native to the planet Thanagar. Black Adam goes even further in the reference by featuring a Western duel just a few minutes later. [Black Adam](https://collider.com/tag/black-adam/) is finally in theaters, promising to take the DC Extended Universe into new and exciting directions. That’s why Amon (Bodhi Sabongui) carries comic books based on the members of the Justice League, such as Wonder Woman and Cyborg. So, now that we’ve run to theaters to see [Dwayne Johnson](https://collider.com/tag/dwayne-johnson/) become DC’s most beloved antihero, it’s time to break down the easter eggs, comic book references, and secrets hidden in Black Adam. Since they serve Apokolips, the Intergang is usually equipped with alien tech that allows them to fight meta-humans and commit crimes.

That would be a disappointment for Black Adam, which cost $195 million to produce, but the darker edged film is tracking higher for its opening, with the both pent up demand for a big effects film and Dwayne Johnson’s entry into the world of superheroes likely helping out.

Black Adam is opening this week in most of the world, though Japan will get the film in December and China is still a question mark.

'Black Adam' End-Credits Scene Explained: "We Should Talk" (Collider.com)

It's time for a spoiler-heavy breakdown about what goes down in the Black Adams end-credit scene.

All the promise of that Instagram post from December 2016 appears to be finally becoming a reality and people walking out of Black Adam will undoubtedly be curious about where this character is about to go next. As for what this tease could mean for the future, well, this feature appears to be poising Superman and Black Adam as rivals who could square off in a movie. The absence of Shazam from this mid-credits scene is especially strange since the Black Adam movie doesn’t make any attempts to detach Black Adam from his lighter counterpart. Only time will tell if this means she’ll continue to have a presence in the solo Black Adam movies or if she’ll even spill over into whatever happens next for Superman in his standalone movies. featured credit scenes teasing how Black Manta and Mister Mind, respectively, would be formidable opponents for certain DC heroes in future solo outings, there’s no telling who Black Adam will be facing off against in the near future beyond Superman (and there’s no doubt that rivalry will end with them becoming allies). It’s also worth noting that there aren’t any explicit teases of what kind of foes Black Adam will face in future movies. [openly enthusiastic about this concept](https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/the-rock-promises-black-adam-absolutely-will-fight-superman-on-screen-that-is-the-whole-point-of-this-man), which has been [explored a handful of times in the comics](https://www.cbr.com/every-time-black-adam-fought-superman/). While Black Adam’s mid-credits sequence does solidify ties between Black Adam and the larger DC Extended Universe, it doesn’t do much to solidify the bond between Black Adam and his greatest rival in the comics. While noting that she won't force him back into a cell, Waller also tells Black Adam that if he ever leaves the city of Kahndaq, she will take immediate action to stop him. The movie [Black Adam](https://collider.com/tag/black-adam/) still didn’t have a release date (and it’s likely that the idea of this character anchoring a solo feature still hadn’t emerged yet), but the concept of the big-screen versions of Black Adam and Superman having a showdown was already in the air. Dwyane Johnson kept on pushing and pushing and finally got a solo movie greenlit for the DC character he was first hired to play back in 2007. She expresses frustration with how Black Adam foiled her previous plan to keep him incarcerated but also notes that he now has her "attention."

Let’s go and let’s fight hard to reintroduce him back into the DC universe through Black Adam.’ And that fight? Not only did Johnson want to introduce Black Adam and the Justice Society of America in one bulky debut, he pushed to bring Cavill back as Superman. “For a long time it bugged me that millions of people were vocal and wondering, and asking questions, and no one was addressing the questions,” Johnson says of Superman’s dormancy. And not only that [...] but what bugged us was you have a guy who is a great Superman and a beloved Superman, a guy who loves the mythology and knows the character so deeply, like Henry does Superman, and then on top of that, the most important thing is fans love him as Superman... But as the movie’s post-credits scene reveals, the hierarchy of power in the DC universe, held up by Superman, Batman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman, hasn’t totally changed just yet — which is just fine with Johnson. And between battles with the Justice Society of America and secrets revealed about the DC hero’s own origins, he wasn’t totally wrong.

Review: In 'Black Adam,' Dwayne Johnson is nobody's hero (The Spokesman-Review)

Does the world need a hero, or someone less afraid to get their hands dirty? That's the (moderately intriguing) question that infuses the otherwise ...

Make no mistake: “Black Adam” proceeds with predictable action sequences, tiresome fight scenes and the now-requisite sacrifice of a major character. Soon enough, Adam quickly learns the ropes of being a superhero, thanks to Adrianna’s comics-obsessed teenage son (Bodhi Sabongui), who even gives Adam a catchphrase he’s instructed to utter just before he kills his victims: “Tell them the man in black sent you.” (Yes, it needs work.) To which Adam replies, in a voice dripping with derision, that he loves teams (not). An underground group of Kahndaqi partisans, led by a former academic named Adrianna (Sarah Shahi), is seeking a long-buried relic, but so is the Intergang. Opening in the fictional land of Kahndaq, somewhere in the Middle East, judging by terrain and other cultural clues, in the year 2600 B.C., the film introduces us to a man, then known as Teth-Adam, who has been given superpowers – strength, speed, flight, the ability to channel lightning-like electricity and withstand projectiles – by a bunch of wizards harnessing the energy of a local mineral called Eternium. This being an origin story of the title character (Dwayne Johnson), a nearly 5,000-year-old former enslaved person with powers beyond those of any mortal, the film sets the stage with a complicated and turgid prologue (one that is entirely necessary for all except the most invested fans of the DC Comics franchise from which Black Adam has sprung).

Black Adam ties the idea of a hero to that of a liberator, a fitting sentiment since superhero movies have long embodied the idea of escapist cinema. Another, simpler explanation for why Black Adam was made is proposed by the film itself: "The superhero industrial complex is worth a lot of money," as one character succinctly puts it. would choose to release a film that recycles a dozen better predecessors at a time of peak superhero fatigue, but Black Adam's shortsightedness is explained through its vision of the modern world. Black Adam might be The Rock's first superhero movie in an over two-decade-long film career, but if the concept feels utterly tiring and lacking in any novelty by the end, much of that is down to how the actor has been playing one for years. Yet, his appearance elicits little more than a resigned shrug, the staging of his punches converting them into punchlines. Despite the deluge of new information, the extent to which the film feels like a visual and narrative regurgitation of almost every superhero movie released in the past decade is staggering.

Black Adam is not a bad watch at all. Pierce Brosnan's character is the Iron Man in the world of Black Adam. In the role of Waller, she is but a delight. When it is revealed, that is the highest point of the film. He comes from a fun world which isn't yet ready for the dark humour that Black Adam exhibits. Everything about the Justice Society is as cool as its members. Aldis Hodge as Hawkman is the one to make quite an impression early on. Their entry itself is quite the thing. However, the story is too slow to develop. Thanks to the light coursing through his veins, he is almost invincible. The movie changes a whole perspective. When Black Adam was announced, it promised to change the dynamics.

Black Adam review: Dwayne Johnson in the very worst of superhero ... (Hindustan Times)

Black Adam movie review: Dwayne Johnson puts on the superhero suit finally but for a boring, bloated mess of a movie. | Hollywood.

In this, the age of superhero storytelling, Black Adam represents the very worst of it. We could get into how the entire film feels like it was shot on the same three sets and soundstages. We could talk about one of the most pointless DC-VFX-supervillains ever seen on screen. Whereas the most that can be said about Black Adam, in both character and performance, is that he shows up. For most of the movie, the JSA are remarkably useless and do far more harm than good. For what it’s worth, I liked that there was at least some attempt at imagination in staging the film's action set pieces, the key word being ‘attempt’. It’s to the credit of director Jaume Collet-Serra that he’s managed to make an empty film that’s spectacularly devoid of any kind of directorial stamp (it’s what’s known as the ‘John Watts condition’). An ancient order of wizards (the same ones that gave Shazam his powers) decided to grant this champion powerful abilities to help liberate and save his people. We see not even an iota of the charisma from films like Jungle Cruise, Red Notice, and Jumanji, or the sheer formidable presence of Hobbs from the Fast And Furious franchise. Why would he not, as one of the only movie stars who actually looks like a superhero? If anything, it’s a wonder it took him so long to don the spandex and take flight. It was only a matter of time really.

'Black Adam,' starring Dwayne Johnson, sees him make his big-screen superhero debut.

They nicely include pockets of humor that DC has not always done well _ a recurring bit with ``Baby Come Back’’ and teaching Black Adam satire are fun” a Clint Eastwood gag fails _ and there may have been three natural endings piling up before the final, manipulative one. The Justice Society members are shocked to find that they aren’t seen as heroic to the residents of Kahndaq, living 27 years under oppression. At one point, with the audience exhausted by all the carnage, they introduce skeletons who rise up as a legion from hell, just what we wanted. that has wizards, a blood-thirsty king, a magical crown and Eternium, a rare metallic ore with energy-manipulating properties (Hello, Vibranium from "Black Panther’’). Why he hasn’t had a starring role in a DC or Marvel superhero flick until now is astonishing - c’mon, he’s built himself into a freaking superhero in street clothes already. Do we need another superhero with another convoluted origin story that stretches back thousands of years and fulfills a whacko destiny?
