I think my biggest issue with the movie was all the normal people fighting the skeleton zombies and winning, at least to a degree. What kind of threat could they possible serve as if some random people with makeshift weapons could take them out?
THAT. They're suppose to be "the army from hell" and a bunch of people does the deal. Also, there's no real connection or rivalry between them. Why don't they fight Intergang and then, when the undead rise, they leave it to the JSA? In that way, the writers acomplished what they poorly tried to do.
Well it would be better if other rando's die and the one's we know are fated to survive do surprisingly well. Or if Intergang are instumental, or if they already rose up against them and had to surrender to Black Adam and their guns were laying around. Idk lots of other options.
Yeah they were the most useless henchmen in the series so far. It would have been better if the people just fought remaining Intergang thugs. I mean what even happened to them? They just disappeared after Adam blew up the mine. No way every last member was there.
The whole "heroes don't kill" thing would make a whole lot more sense if this wasn't supposed to be in the same universe as Snyder's warped versions of Superman and Batman. Also, why in the world are Superman and the Justice Society listening to Amanda "putting bombs in people's heads and very ok with letting an entire country full of people be murdered by an alien starfish" Waller??????
I like Dwayne, but as an actor he is super one dimensional. Always tough, always has jokes, always a hero type figure. Whatever brings in the pay checks I guess.
Look at Batista. No matter how much Dwayne acts his ass off, he will never win an Oscar. So why not be a bankable popcorn action star, which he does better than almost everyone else in Hollywood?
Fun fact, the Justice Society is the first ever superhero team, formed in the 1940s. It's older than the Justice League. They probably wanted to show the extended universe of the DCEU, like Hawkman and Dr. Fate are the OG members. Hawkman is a reincarnating warrior from 1000s of years ago and Dr. Fate is at least a 100 years old. Maxime Hall or Cyclone is the daughter of Justice Society hero Red Tornado and Atom Smasher Jr. is the nephew of Atom Smasher Sr. of the Justice Society.
The most glaring plot hole in the movie for me was why Hawkman, someone portrayed as so vehemently opposed to killing, would have anything whatsoever to do with Amanda Waller, a wpman who would happily kill her own grandmother if she thought it necessary for national security, and then brag about it to anyone with enough clearance.
3:50 No no, don't turn back now because that's true there should be more expected from the guy who's been trying to get this movie off the ground since the mid to last 2000s
the writers and director for black adam aren't exactly known for anything more than having worked with dwayne johnson on past productions. and the quality (or lack thereof) shows. pierce brosnan was the most experienced person in the whole mess.
you can say the same thing for most of the cinematic Universe movies . its kind of thing everyone has to understand that making this all movies connected creates bigger and bigger plot holes in the individual movies Doctor strange 2 would have been 30 min movie , spiderman NWH shouldn't be a movie if we remove plot holes , kong vs godzilla same ( kong would have been dead in the first fight )
9:47 One thing to remember about Amanda Waller is that she is almost the anti-Nick Fury, she acts as the living embodiment of the cold, unempathetic corruption of the US Government in the DC Universe, who can act as a literal wall of opposition against heroes and their morals/heroism. The Justice League and many other heroes severely hate her and hate being forced to ally themselves with her only in very specific moments of crisis. Superman is as much against her and her actions, though I imagine Superman only agreed to help her for the sake of reasoning with Black Adam, not because he works for her, which is most likely the same reason the JSA stepped in.
The thing about Waller sending the Justice Society instead of the Justice League, I get the feeling that the Justice Society is a group she control while the Justice League is an occasional ally, as set up in 2016's Suicide Squad post-credit scene, but not a group she controls. She gave Superman a tip, and he decided to meet with Black Adam and get to know the threat, but Waller can't just send him in, she doesn't control him like that.
So... Jaby just said something most mainstream reactors said about this movie; "I had fun..." and I'm wondering was everyone paid to use that exact line or are they all just brain dead?! Because I couldn't imagine anyone having fun watching this movie. I walked out of the cinema... Also... I'm wondering, is your reason for DJ not having an accent in this movie the same reason for Tom Cruise not having an accent in Valkyrie, where he plays a German officer. It seems we're just bordering on stupidity now.
Lol brother you know people watch movies like fast and furious and enjoy it. Its fine you hate it but no need to lash out at people who enjoy these shit. And DC has been releasing braindead movies since BVS but still people like to watch it.
His child died that was revealed in the trailer part was spot on. That's the reason why I don't watch all trailers that comes out for a movie. And thus I'm able to enjoy the movie even more. Same thing for Marvel... they literally spoil half of the plot of the movie and then the other half we just have to guess/speculate. What's the friken point!!
To be fair, his child dying is part of his origin in the comics. But the second I noticed they were showing Black Adam's face in the opening I realised that his son was the original champion and not his young nephew who he murdered to steal his powers
At 10:52 , did achara just say ,” this is holier than a Swiss cheese” ? . I know what she meant but it’s funny because I for a second imagined a holy Swiss cheese .
Really good reaction, really enjoyed it but one thing i have to throw in is where Achara mentioned that they send the JSA to deal with him was because the Justice League would have defeated Black Adam quickly. Yeah that would not happen. Black Adam is insanely powerfull and there have been instances in the comic where Black Adam wiped the floor with the Justice League. I really liked the movie for what it is but they really tried to depict Black Adam as some kind of Anti Hero where in the comic most of the time he is a straight up villain. Of course he has those ocasional moments where he does good things but really most of the time, he is a bad guy. Actually i hope there will be at one a movie where Black Adam fights against the Justice League in some way, that would be nice
The problem is that black Adam was supposed to murder his nephew to steal the power of Shazam so, yeah, obviously not exactly a hero but when making the movie I guess they thought that would make him seem too evil so they tried to keep the impact of the original story but change it so it has less child murder I guess and it just didn’t work at all
By the book comic book movie with Dwayne putting in minimal effort and refusing to do things like play a true anti-hero, refusing to lose any fights, not having an accent, have hair like the character and not have the character be another modern Dwayne Johnson character dialog wise. It was mediocre, only saved by Dr Fate being fantastic but dragged down a ton by that teenage kid being literally the WORST.
@@lloyd777 It's not if someone else was playing him but Rock is iconic for his bald head and so it was just yet another way he didn't immerse himself into a character where we would see less Dwayne and more Black Adam/Teth. No, it's just Dwayne in a black suit. LAME. Go all in, be a real actor.
I was fine with that language wise but why does he instantly have an American accent when he was born and lived in Kahndaq and has awoken in Kahndaq by a woman who herself was born, raised and lives in Kahndaq with a "Kahndaq" accent... See, it's not a HUGE deal but it helps with immersion and suspension of disbelief when the actors go all-in. Imagine some new actor who is from that area of the world with an authentic accent to that area who has the hair and has no issues with getting beat up, being an actual anti-hero if not bad guy sometimes and so on. So it goes beyond Black Adam not speaking whatever native language Kahndaq uses for me. It just shows how little effort he put into his acting and how much his ego hurt the movie and character.
@@LokDesaad6 Greek Gods. Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury are Greek. The OP knew that so no "actually" needed. He was stating that one of the powers from Solomon the Wise is language and so anyone with the powers of Shazam (including Teth) can speak all languages.
I like how one of the important traits of the character is dismissed, but that's okay because it was entertaining. I wonder why these characters, who should be developed and explored don't then progress. Maybe we need more popcorn to help the box office numbers.😅
A really funny thing about this movie is the fact Hawkman, Black Adam and Dr Fate all knew each back in ancient Egypt. In fact Fate and Adam were Hawkman's servants and yet this never comes up
Guys, the whole not sending Superman or Justice League to stop Black Adam is just something we have to get over in these connected worlds. Its like people saying if Thor and them knew about a place called 'Eternity' that can grant wishes like then why create time travel and go back in time and have the whole End Game film events at all happening, why they can instead go to Eternity and reverse Thanos finger clicking wish!!..we just have to realise if they did these things every time like sending Superman we wouldnt have all these movies u know..So like Ryan George says we need to just get off their backs with this, right off!
It's either in the Rocks contracts or all the Rocks movie scripts is that the Rock can not be taken down he either gives up on his terms or nothing that was the problem with the fast and furious movies he was not going to allow himself to be second to Vin diesel
In the whole movie from start to end I was sitting like a rock , didn't feel anything for any character. Even their so called hero looked like total je**k , heroes don't shove it in your face constantly that they are heroes. this movie was supposed to show you the grey areas of life. But it was all black and white and childish. "There are heroes and villeins and heroes don't kill" what is this even mean. It is not a rule from the hero's school book. It is a life long experience of a person who have seen families suffered and people change with time. It felt like a typical Bollywood movie without songs , shoving everything in your face verbally , no subtle things, no depth , just constant punching.
From what they explain, eternium is what the Rock of Eternity is made of The Rock of Eternity is the place where the wizard Shazam and later the Shazam family make their base of operations, the place with the 7 thrones that they sit at the end of the Shazam movie Meaning that if Black Adam shows up there, the entire place would be his kryptonite
the rock was booed at comic con because cavill was not in the movie then the rock got wb to put him in at the last second before the film opened that is why he made a big deal about it he was embarassed at what happened at comic con
saw the movie friday. i liked it. yall had me going in thinking it was going to be horrible. yall are just haters. and this is a universal you directed at all critics/normies cause the majority hated on it, saying stuff like its goofy, bad, awful, makes no sense, edited weird, etc etc. all lies. it could have been longer and did more character development but other than that...........no complaints. it was a fun ACTION film.
You sound like an unbiased source.. It's def goofy and sloppy and fun. Stuff in it isn't that good and some of it is. Your praise sounds as justified as some of the most hateful critiques.
I actually never heard the Rock spoiled the end credit scene so it came as a big surprise to me and my dad. We loved the movie it was really fun to watch. And yeah, like the story and some of the scenes were kinda “meh” but we were really just there for the action
Acting - 6 Character development- poor (felt little to nothing for most characters) Story - good story poor execution Comedy - had it's ups and downs fights - 9/10 Enjoyment - 7/10 Favorite character - Doctor Fate i'm excited for the future of the character though but i never really felt worried for the city😭 overall rating 6.5/10 (.5 cause of mid credits)
To be fair. The Eternium being a weakness not coming into play makes sense because the one soldier who saw it hurt him died. Everybody else who saw that was on his side. Nobody knew about it.
Hey guys.. just a suggestion It would be pretty cool if you could start reacting to Formula 1 and get to know more about it Would really love it if you would do that..
The movie sucked.. lets be real. Too many plot holes. Dr Fate can see the future but for some reason he didn't know that imprisoning Black Adam was a bad idea, and he didn't know that the bad guy wanted to die on purpose to only come back as a demon? Nah.. that sucked. As soon as I saw the guy coming back to life, I was like "wtf Dr Fate? You couldn't see this sh#t coming?" Come on you can see the future..FFS. Whats the point of that power if it doesn't help them in the slightest ?? .. Lame writing.
That's where you're wrong..Dr Fate sees OUTCOMES he does not see the events that lead to the outcome...So he does not have knowledge of how the demon is going to rise or that imprisoning Black Adam was a bad idea...In Dr Fate's vision, He sees destruction and at that point, Black Adam is the only threat they are aware of and therefore he is the only possible individual that would end up killing Hawkman in his vision therefore their only goal at that point was to imprison him.
While I get the complaint about the eternium not being paid off in this movie, if they waited til the sequel to introduce it we’d say “so there was a crown made of this through the whole first movie but it never harmed the rock in tights?”
But if they would bring up something like eternium in the second movie everyone's gonna be like "how did they just bring that up, if it's that important to the character...seems like an afterthought"
Hey guys, big fan of ur channel from Ireland, luv ur reactions..I also thought it was cheesy, had a very simple storyline and had so many comic book superhero tropes, an annoying kid (reminded by of little Annie in Star Wars Phantom Menace, someone needed to kick that kid too) and a poor Devil CGi villian guy. The film also had incredible action, hilarious moments, introduced some cool characters that were all given adequate screen time and the film had a pace that never let up!!..I just had so much fun, no joke not the best comic book movie of 2022 but the comic book film i most enjoyed in theatres. Jaby i dont really care about the main characters being exactly like the source material either but like u have been a little upset with The Last Of Us show changing so much from the game im sure u can understand their viewpoint. Achara i agree spoiling Black Adam and his father surprise in the trailer was a little much, i just pretended it was a misdirect until scene revealed itself like MCU did with Hulk in Infinity War trailers..In regards to the kid standing up high and gathering people using his little voice, i think it was a callback to Black Adam as a kid standing in Kandaq rallying the people before he got superpowers and the whole country knew the story anyway, the Walking Dead skeleton cannon fodder creatures were ridiculous though like Ultron bots in Avengers. Ryan George makes great videos, this was a pretty good one..Got introduced to him through u guys, The Twilight movies one i watched with u guys was great, still the worst franchise in movie history, even more then Transformers...
well we all have our wishes but they rarrely come to life...the movie was ok,fun,serious,full with action.i would be disapointed if there is no chapter 2
That's definitely debatable. Not sure a good argument is available for either. Personally, I found Thor a little more enjoyable as I didn't go in expecting it to be Shakespeare which apparently many others did for some reason.
No negative things? What about no development from any character besides Black Adam? Name three things you know from every JSA member, they were barely a character. Dr Fate is a moron, capturing BA when he knows the demon is coming and he needs him, there was no need for his death. Hawkman destroying and killing more people than Black Adam when he's fighting him. And also, using the helmet without puttung him on. What was Ishmael's plan before BA resurrecting? He had to die in order to become Sabbac.
So this is another one where Jaby decides that no critical standards apply because he likes the movie? Why can’t we ever agree when that should be the case?? It can’t just be when a movie is ‘Fun’. Black Adam isn’t even intentionally a comedy. And the Batman took itself incredibly seriously and it also got a pass!
Sorrry Achara i get it for the casual fan Henry Cavill showing up was probably just Blah but for big DC and Superman Stans which there is many and i am one..Actually seeing Cavill as Superman again was one of the greatest moments in recent cinema, i almost cried!
Black Adam was trash IMO. 4/10. Other than Hawkman I didn't like anyone else. The obnoxious kid alone was worth docking two points off the movie. This would have been an average comic movie in 2001.
We expect an actor be an ACTOR, if you're getting paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for just acting on camera you could at least learn the language especially with how much the Rock hyped this film up, he did it to himself you talk big your film better be a masterpiece. It's crazy to me that people get bothered by other's opinions just because you guys are ok with constantly turning your brains off for these mindless films doesn't mean the rest of us are especially fans who grew up with the source material, I'm a customer if I spent money on a product I'm entitled to critique it. It's just one of many troupes that make absolutely no sense, just like every alien race in GOTG speaking complete English...it would be nice if they explained a communication device being used but they don't even bother to do that.
Don't sweat it. Like they said, they didn't care, so I guess that's why the people who made the movie didn't care either. I guess that's what DC stands for now...😆
I liked black-adam way better than : - -Shazam -Flash -No way home -Love & Thunder &... 1984 WW just to share a few. PS, have never liked the Rock. just saying PSS, Yes i brought up 2 different franchises:) PSSS, Yes, there are way more sh*t movies i couldve named but.....
I watched BA 2 days back. Man what a hot pile of garbage. Not the writing, even the technical aspects are also bad. The bgm was so repetitive and over the top I got cancer in my ears, the dialogue editing, mixing whatever was so so bad, and that god awful acting of Rock, ewww. The only positive thinga for me in this movie are Cavill's return (which was also ruined by not putting HIS theme, the Zimmer's score), Dr Fate and Hawkman, not their character writing, just the casting and their acting, I hope they return with good scripts.
The whole "heroes don't kill" thing with Black Adam really doesn't work when this takes place in the same universe where Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman had zero issue with killing bad guys (even tho it made zero sense for Batman to let Joker live). This was an incredibly generic and largely forgettable movie that tried to be remembered for bringing Cavill back into the DCEU. Instead, it established that people were just done with a cinematic universe with a bunch of badly written movies and too much behind the scenes drama.
I think my biggest issue with the movie was all the normal people fighting the skeleton zombies and winning, at least to a degree. What kind of threat could they possible serve as if some random people with makeshift weapons could take them out?
THAT. They're suppose to be "the army from hell" and a bunch of people does the deal. Also, there's no real connection or rivalry between them. Why don't they fight Intergang and then, when the undead rise, they leave it to the JSA? In that way, the writers acomplished what they poorly tried to do.
Well it would be better if other rando's die and the one's we know are fated to survive do surprisingly well. Or if Intergang are instumental, or if they already rose up against them and had to surrender to Black Adam and their guns were laying around. Idk lots of other options.
What *Army from Hell* should look like and do to people
is done in *Castlevania*
Yeah they were the most useless henchmen in the series so far. It would have been better if the people just fought remaining Intergang thugs. I mean what even happened to them? They just disappeared after Adam blew up the mine. No way every last member was there.

At the start with Black Adam and justice society fighting and the kids mom in between.. it felt like a Foster Mom disciplining two of her foster kids.

saw the movie friday. i liked it. yall had me going in thinking it was going to be horrible. yall are just haters. and this is a universal you directed at all critics/normies cause the majority hated on it, saying stuff like its goofy, bad, awful, makes no sense, edited weird, etc etc. all lies. it could have been longer and did more character development but other than that...........no complaints. it was a fun ACTION film.
Shut up
You sound like an unbiased source..
It's def goofy and sloppy and fun.
Stuff in it isn't that good and some of it is. Your praise sounds as justified as some of the most hateful critiques.
I Love Black Adam 🔥
I can't watch a movie without popcorn!
I hate the whole "heroes dont kill" bs when literally every "hero" kills😑
I actually never heard the Rock spoiled the end credit scene so it came as a big surprise to me and my dad. We loved the movie it was really fun to watch. And yeah, like the story and some of the scenes were kinda “meh” but we were really just there for the action
I’m just realizing that she could have sent the Justice league the entire time to try to stop Black Adam
Acting - 6
Character development- poor (felt little to nothing for most characters)
Story - good story poor execution
Comedy - had it's ups and downs
fights - 9/10
Enjoyment - 7/10
Favorite character - Doctor Fate
i'm excited for the future of the character though but i never really felt worried for the city😭
overall rating 6.5/10 (.5 cause of mid credits)
Black adam is a villiam not a anti hero he should be in ahazam.
To be fair. The Eternium being a weakness not coming into play makes sense because the one soldier who saw it hurt him died. Everybody else who saw that was on his side. Nobody knew about it.
S.H.A.Z.A.M Wisdom of SOLOMON, Strength of HERCULES, Stamina of ATLAS, power of ZUES, Courage of ACHILLIES, Speed of MERCURY.
Hey guys.. just a suggestion
It would be pretty cool if you could start reacting to Formula 1 and get to know more about it
Would really love it if you would do that..
The movie sucked.. lets be real.
Too many plot holes. Dr Fate can see the future but for some reason he didn't know that imprisoning Black Adam was a bad idea, and he didn't know that the bad guy wanted to die on purpose to only come back as a demon? Nah.. that sucked. As soon as I saw the guy coming back to life, I was like "wtf Dr Fate? You couldn't see this sh#t coming?" Come on you can see the future..FFS.
Whats the point of that power if it doesn't help them in the slightest ?? .. Lame writing.
That's where you're wrong..Dr Fate sees OUTCOMES he does not see the events that lead to the outcome...So he does not have knowledge of how the demon is going to rise or that imprisoning Black Adam was a bad idea...In Dr Fate's vision, He sees destruction and at that point, Black Adam is the only threat they are aware of and therefore he is the only possible individual that would end up killing Hawkman in his vision therefore their only goal at that point was to imprison him.
Boy I'm glad I rarely ever watch trailers! Ever since Far From Home.
Nice.
Black Adam got struck with Eternium early in the movie and it crippled him for a little while.
Black Adam was really good most fun i had watching a comic book movie in awhile
Nah it's dogshit
"Hey shuddup and..." 😂😂😂😂
I got high, turned my brain completely off, had popcorn, and still hated this movie lol.
While I get the complaint about the eternium not being paid off in this movie, if they waited til the sequel to introduce it we’d say “so there was a crown made of this through the whole first movie but it never harmed the rock in tights?”
It's impossible to narrow down the worst thing, or even a "Top Ten" list of things, about the film because it's such an epic catastrophe.
Just found out that Black Adam is a box office flop.
It really is a popcorn movie
But it’s better than almost everything marvel put out this year
But if they would bring up something like eternium in the second movie everyone's gonna be like "how did they just bring that up, if it's that important to the character...seems like an afterthought"
Better than an unused Chekovs gun.
Hey guys, big fan of ur channel from Ireland, luv ur reactions..I also thought it was cheesy, had a very simple storyline and had so many comic book superhero tropes, an annoying kid (reminded by of little Annie in Star Wars Phantom Menace, someone needed to kick that kid too) and a poor Devil CGi villian guy. The film also had incredible action, hilarious moments, introduced some cool characters that were all given adequate screen time and the film had a pace that never let up!!..I just had so much fun, no joke not the best comic book movie of 2022 but the comic book film i most enjoyed in theatres. Jaby i dont really care about the main characters being exactly like the source material either but like u have been a little upset with The Last Of Us show changing so much from the game im sure u can understand their viewpoint. Achara i agree spoiling Black Adam and his father surprise in the trailer was a little much, i just pretended it was a misdirect until scene revealed itself like MCU did with Hulk in Infinity War trailers..In regards to the kid standing up high and gathering people using his little voice, i think it was a callback to Black Adam as a kid standing in Kandaq rallying the people before he got superpowers and the whole country knew the story anyway, the Walking Dead skeleton cannon fodder creatures were ridiculous though like Ultron bots in Avengers. Ryan George makes great videos, this was a pretty good one..Got introduced to him through u guys, The Twilight movies one i watched with u guys was great, still the worst franchise in movie history, even more then Transformers...
well we all have our wishes but they rarrely come to life...the movie was ok,fun,serious,full with action.i would be disapointed if there is no chapter 2
7:57 DON'T GIVE UP SKELETON.
The thumbnail 😂
Still better than many marvel movies...
I enjoyed it
The ending to this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jaby trying so hard to defend this dumpster fire
10:07 no because the rocks ego has his movie contracts specifically say he isn't allowed to lose fights in his movies which is so pathetic
Honestly he ruined the idea of this movie with his one dimensional acting and the fact that he hired a bang average director for this movie
Yall should react to black Adam hishe
Doctor fate sacrificed hinself to save hockman
Still better than THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER
Best way to describe thor love and thunder is homework
My dog using the bathroom was better than it
That's definitely debatable. Not sure a good argument is available for either. Personally, I found Thor a little more enjoyable as I didn't go in expecting it to be Shakespeare which apparently many others did for some reason.
@joe i didnt hate it could definitly say i enjoyed it, i really enjoyed jane and gorr
TLAT made me feel something. All I would’ve felt in this movie is boredom
After watching the two Jumanji movies it was a huge mistake to cast The Rock as Black Adam, he should have been Shazam.
I thought this movie was great. Other than that they had to much of the kid there was no real negative things about it imo
No negative things? What about no development from any character besides Black Adam? Name three things you know from every JSA member, they were barely a character. Dr Fate is a moron, capturing BA when he knows the demon is coming and he needs him, there was no need for his death. Hawkman destroying and killing more people than Black Adam when he's fighting him. And also, using the helmet without puttung him on. What was Ishmael's plan before BA resurrecting? He had to die in order to become Sabbac.
So this is another one where Jaby decides that no critical standards apply because he likes the movie? Why can’t we ever agree when that should be the case?? It can’t just be when a movie is ‘Fun’. Black Adam isn’t even intentionally a comedy. And the Batman took itself incredibly seriously and it also got a pass!
Time for your nap.
Thor Love and Thunder *~* Black Adam
Sorrry Achara i get it for the casual fan Henry Cavill showing up was probably just Blah but for big DC and Superman Stans which there is many and i am one..Actually seeing Cavill as Superman again was one of the greatest moments in recent cinema, i almost cried!
Black Adam was trash IMO. 4/10. Other than Hawkman I didn't like anyone else. The obnoxious kid alone was worth docking two points off the movie. This would have been an average comic movie in 2001.
@acharakirk What a laugh at the beginning there.
We expect an actor be an ACTOR, if you're getting paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for just acting on camera you could at least learn the language especially with how much the Rock hyped this film up, he did it to himself you talk big your film better be a masterpiece. It's crazy to me that people get bothered by other's opinions just because you guys are ok with constantly turning your brains off for these mindless films doesn't mean the rest of us are especially fans who grew up with the source material, I'm a customer if I spent money on a product I'm entitled to critique it. It's just one of many troupes that make absolutely no sense, just like every alien race in GOTG speaking complete English...it would be nice if they explained a communication device being used but they don't even bother to do that.
Don't sweat it. Like they said, they didn't care, so I guess that's why the people who made the movie didn't care either. I guess that's what DC stands for now...😆
Holier than Swiss Cheese?
I dont care what people say. i loved this movie better than Shazam 2.
Still Better Than Recent M-SHE-U Movies 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still worse than she hulk.
DsheU🤡🤡🤡🤡
The movie was fun up until the 3rd act. Just got messy, but still great for a drinking game
And now Henry Cavill won't be back as Supes.
I liked black-adam way better than : -
-Shazam
-Flash
-No way home
-Love & Thunder &...
1984 WW
just to share a few.
PS, have never liked the Rock. just saying
PSS, Yes i brought up 2 different franchises:)
PSSS, Yes, there are way more sh*t movies i couldve named but.....
I watched BA 2 days back. Man what a hot pile of garbage. Not the writing, even the technical aspects are also bad. The bgm was so repetitive and over the top I got cancer in my ears, the dialogue editing, mixing whatever was so so bad, and that god awful acting of Rock, ewww. The only positive thinga for me in this movie are Cavill's return (which was also ruined by not putting HIS theme, the Zimmer's score), Dr Fate and Hawkman, not their character writing, just the casting and their acting, I hope they return with good scripts.
🎉🎉
I liked the movie Black Adam, I thought it was a good movie
The whole "heroes don't kill" thing with Black Adam really doesn't work when this takes place in the same universe where Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman had zero issue with killing bad guys (even tho it made zero sense for Batman to let Joker live).
This was an incredibly generic and largely forgettable movie that tried to be remembered for bringing Cavill back into the DCEU. Instead, it established that people were just done with a cinematic universe with a bunch of badly written movies and too much behind the scenes drama.
This movie failed in box office jaby
Black Antvon
Irony is Henry Cavill left DC... 🥴
Crappiest movie just behind green lantern 🤦🏻♂️
If Christian Bale can gargle rocks and be held as a great Batman (he's not), then Dwayne Johnson could do a horrible accent and it'd be ok.
Sequel 🤣😂🤣😂... right
U guys didn't find this pitch meeting as funny as most others. Hmmmm wonder why
I literally had to turn of the movie. Couldn’t sit through it.
