At this point, just not liking a shit movie is considered hate speech. Hate speech as a general concept is ridiculous to begin with, especially when the elites can decide to cash anything they don't like hate speech. And normies believe that shit every single time
Dave Bautista > Rock. Between Dune and blade runner, plus guardians of the galaxy, and that zombie movie, he can actually act. And he’s willing to be a hero, he’s willing to be a villain, he’s willing to be killed off, he’ll be comic relief. Bautista > The rock.
100%. He works with quality directors and doesn’t insist on being the big dog on set. He’s without ego, which is why he keeps getting cast. Daniel Craig liked him so much working with him in Spectre that he recommended him for Glass Onion. Batista is crushing it!
Jack Black (Carl Denham from King Kong) is a young and fit Ben Grimm! Dave Bautista is . . . The Thing!! No cgi, real costume and makeup like the original FF movies! Because, you know, that’s how Dave would want it!💥😎
Funny how he's shown more range as a villain in wrestling than he did in this movie. But he wasn't trying to play a villain, even though Black Adam is known as a villain first before anything.
The Rock is a brand, not a filmmaker. He should not be given creative control over franchise movies like this. The studio heads should just say, "sure thing, Dwayne. Here's your monthly supply of TRT. Now get out there and do the eyebrow thing."
@@WaldemarPerezJr Irony being, if he did those things, the audience could suspend their disbelief enough to accept his commitment. He's just not serious, and I've never understood the appeal. Sidenote - did you hear that he allegedly wants to be cast as the MCU's Luke Cage? 😬
None of you experts could sh*t out a script or an idea to save your lives. The Rock's failure his less that 1/10th of anybody's career accomplishment on this thread. LOL! He may have over estimated his game, but at least he had game.
@@WaldemarPerezJr Definitely requires talent. There's plenty of determined people trying to make movies....and they suck. So you can be as determined as you want. But if you have no talent in said field you'll be just like every other determined game developer that nobody cares about. You actually sound like one of those hollyweirdos with a massive ego.
And now the Superman cameo has become a moot point thanks to Henry Cavill being fired. Thanks Warner Bros. for proving that movie studios can always one up themselves for making bad decision after bad decision.
@@yurichtube1162 Honestly I hope it becomes so light and silly that it flops again and again and again just so it blow right back at James Gunn's face.
@@blazeswithwolvez7221 Warner Bros. would need to spend a considerable amount of money to create a new DC Universe, and it would be unwise to reboot the franchise after only a few years. It would be advisable to wait at least eight to ten years so that people can view the films with fresh eyes and an open mind. The eight-year gap between Batman & Robin and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy proved to be beneficial for the latter.
@@JackSkyblue it would have made much more sense for DC to not have a cinematic universe at all. I don't think Man of Steel was "dark and gritty" it was different but it was carrying through the Nolan style of grounded Batman but with an alien and asking questions of the audience about how people would be (rather than everyone just sort of accepting Superman.) I prefer an intelligent (or attempted intelligent) and a different vision and people act like Superman was some sort of anti-hero in the movies, he wasn't. It was his environment that was more grounded (as much as one can be with Kryptonians flying about.) DC once had something to offer. Man of Steel should have been its own universe but no Wonder Woman unless they were going to have Amazonians be descended from Kryptonian explorers. By diving back into the Flash, Aquaman, etc. it's just back to being silly comic book stuff so I do understand people who want a different tone for Justice League stuff (although I thought parts of the Snyder versions were a better serious take.)
Again…planning. Do things in order. We got to such a messy place where we’re like oooh this character ooh this one…can we get a solid Supes trilogy going? Can we establish the Trinity first? I agree Fate was great but order and structure.
Kevin Feigie would never hire The Rock because The Rock's no lose clause and arrogance wanting to be in control. Kevin Feigie doesn't allow anyone to have a level of control.
your comment proves you don't know the character and are just repeating other hater comments. The movie captures exactly how the character is written in modern times, especially the 52 storyline that the movie is mostly based off. See, you can always spot a loud mouth phony who is so insecure he will literally repeat other nonsense to feel part of the crowd.
I never understood what people saw in Dwayne Johnson. He is a pathetic actor that does the same role over and over again in every movie he is in. and you are right, he is baited as tough guy but never is.
I feel the kids rant about being a superhero and how lucrative it can be, and how you've gotta do movies and tie in games, and products with your name on it all over the shelves. Like that's literally just them telling us what these franchises are to them. They are literally just money trees to them. And you can feel it in every hollow empty thing Hollywood puts out anymore.
Nah, I would say these things are not written to sell and the better show runners like Russo Bros, Christopher McQuarrie cannot be tapped to direct these films and better writers aren't paid. This was nothing more than a missed opportunity and a rush job (it should've been in SHAZAM! As should the Cavill teaser, but the brand stunk, and Superhero films were watered down and oversaturated so by the time DC got off its ass and put out movie, you had radioactive psychos Ezra Miller and Amber Heard still stuck in delayed films .. its a mess - The Hollow empty thing is from uninspired or controlled filmmakers just checking boxes and not creating better stories.
Me Before Watching: "Bro, why you hate this movie, this was alright" Me After Watching: "Oh, I sort of get it now. I can kinda understand why you hate The Rock so much after you explained it, although I disagree with your takes on the Jumanji Sequels, because that wasn't JUST a Dwayne Johnson movie. It also had Jack Black and Karen Gillan in it, and everyone agrees Jack Black was the best actor. The Jumanji sequels weren't a Rock Bottom splatter"
That's it that's rocks ingredient. Put jack black in every future rock movie and it will be better. Every future movie company: Write this down write this down
All they had to do was put him in, but I think the saw DC crumbling and tried to shoehorn their deal in.. and it flopped, as did The Suicide Squad (despite "critical acclaim")
They tried saying the same thing “you can’t have a Venom movie without Spider-Man,” look how successful that was. Unfortunately lightning didn’t strike twice with Black Adam, which is what they were hoping for.
@@Bingo_the_Pug with Venom they already established the character in Spider-Man. The Venom we got was the PG-13 Venom. They should have made Venom rated R like a horror movie. After he lost the Spider-Man he disappeared
@@SuperOmnicronsj44A new report by The Wrap, Dwayne Johnson wasn't interested in appearing in Shazam. For a long time, it was speculated that The Rock hated the goofy character of Shazam. As a result, he strived to keep Zachary Levi's hero and his anti-hero separate, going so far as to not even a cameo in the first Shazam film. DC has bowed to The Rock and key him do what he wants
Technically he's a major villain in DC Comics (except in the 52 which this character is more based off of), not just to Captain Marvel/ Shazam. It helps to read comics.
@@Andulvar I love how that has nothing to do with what i said lmaoo when i say secondary i mean that out of the 2 if your going to create a "universe" for one then it would be Shazam because hes the central character in their story and Black Adam is the antagonist in THEIR story obviously to the entire DC universe hes a major villian but this like saying you want to make a movie series based off Doctor Doom instead of the Fantastic Four...
The problem is that he isn't secondary, you're literally hating the movie and passing grand judgement on the most arbitrary and ridiculous point. Not to mention that you're wrong if you even knew the comics, he has his own title and several storylines outside of Shazam, he has been his own character for over a decade which proves you are just an ignorant hater passing little knowledge that is wrong as fact and motivation.
I feel like the only reason this movie was created is so Dwayne fans could feast their eyes on how Dwayne punches people in a face like he usually does... what a waste.
No it was made to set up the bigger fight with Shazam! and Superman! and it should've been a debut in Shazam, but DC was impatient, as was Rock and they jumped the gun. Dwayne fans are movie fans as he is a movie star - he just isn't a lead - he should've been in an ensemble piece like Shazam! then later on in Suicide Squad as the protagonist or Justice League - he rushed his film. As you said, what a waste. There are franchises that have made millions out of punches in face - Transformers are up to chapter 8 as is Fast and Furious.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 transformers is dead, Hasbro milked that cow to death. The fourth film should have been enough, FAF should have only had 2. Yeah they are money makers but you cant refund your cinema ticket if the film sucks ass.
I was just thinking of something: you mentioned you hated Atom Smasher. I kept trying to think who Noah Centino was trying to channel with his performance, and who the writers were trying to rip off: Ezra' Miller's characterization of Barry Allen. Nerdy, fast talking, hyper and that whole thing about needing constant snacks. It took me a minute but that's what I think this film was trying to rip off with Centino's characterization of Atom Smasher. LOL.
Except the grooming, stealing alcohol kidnapping a teen ... Centino didn't copy that part. I cant believe that ass hat Miller still going to be in the Flashpoint and yet no definitive word was put out as to "he will no longer be in the DCEU"
I always think of it as two egomaniacs fighting each other for control of the franchise. Since F&F is practically Vin's own franchise and brings in serious cash, he can't afford to let it die. The Rock wanted a franchise of his own and tried to take more and more control of F&F, got into a fight with Diesel, and was ultimately booted off. Ironically I dislike Vin more here as he essentially used Paul to keep his franchise going even after his death, and there's no way The Rock would've lost a fight with him in F&F5, which makes me think it was Vin himself who got that part written in.
I’m so SICK of The Rock. He’s not a good actor to me. He seems to full of himself because all the characters he plays have so much of The Rock in them that they don’t feel like the characters they are supposed to be anymore. They feel like The Rock. I hope I’m making sense. I just sick of seeing him in EVERYTHING. If I were to say Robert Downey Jr., I bet the first thing that comes to mind is Iron Man. If I say Vin Diesel, I bet the first thing that comes to mind is Fast and Furious or Riddick. If I were to say The Rock, what specific franchise comes to mind? I willing to be none, because he’s just in too much! He needs to pick a corner and stay there.
@Jimmy Jam that what I'm saying. Like why are people coming at comic movies like their supposed to be this big epic art piece to make you think differently about other things. All the ones that have"bombed" had some type of message being pushed. I'm just saying it's good to just get a good I'm gonna whopp everyone's ass movie.
Don't even need to watch the video. You had me at the title - I completely agree and I'm glad folks in the DC fandom are acknowledging that. Glad we aren't going to get more of it. When the best part of the film is the post-credit of Cavill's Superman, you've missed the mark.
The guy just is good with crowds, but isn't a lead actor - just needs to do ensemble features. One thing he could stand to do is get a series and rebrand his drama chops ... something like that would be very good for him rather than trying to knock everything out of the park.
He was like an excitable uncle poorly explaining his perfect superhero movie idea and I didn't have the heart to tell him that all he did was mash Terminator 2, The Mummy, and The Avengers together.
What surprised me was some of their powers ,like how he woke from 5000 years knowing perfect english without an accent. And how Cyclones power changed her hair style, length, and color. Amazing.
If you actually paid attention to the movie he loses the ability to speak English. The powers of Shazam give the bearer extended knowledge and allows the person to learn and speak foreign languages - it is literally from the comics. If you paid attention he doesn't speak English at first, he speaks his native language when freed, only after hearing the language does he pick up on it and he speaks very little of it, once he renounces his powers he goes back to actually speaking what he actually knows - minus the powers. I guess you thought you were clever about that but no, you're just ignorant with comprehension issues.
This movie was absolutely horrible. That kid was frustratingly annoying...his mother was frustratingly annoying...the plot was frustratingly annoying...the fact that Dr. Fate unnecessarily sacrificed himself was frustratingly annoying...eff this movie
I could tell from the trailers that this movie was going to be formulaic af; maybe not bad, but definitely not different. Plus I never bought The Rock as this character; no matter how passionate he is, this was just a bad miscast, sorry Dwayne.
I liked the movie. It was on par with most of the DC movies as of late. It wasn’t the best in the world but I enjoyed it. I’m less concerned about how much it made compared to other movies. It not making 500m+ is not my concern as a audience member. I just want to see a movie and enjoy my time watching.
@lee totally respect and agree wit your comment.. it's annoying when they always bring this box office hit crap about movies(which I get..since they do need to make their money back or whatever..but that's not my main concern,when watching a film)
No one likes annoying child characters. They get in the way, they don't listen, and at some point their actions call for them to need to be rescued. The Justice Society has so many cooler members, but they chose "Grow Big Guy" and "Wind Girl."
His relationship to Atom Smasher was integral to Adam's story arc in the comics. So they didn't just randomly choose "grow big guy," they just didn't use him right.
Here is a problem, the movie isn't even bad but nowhere near good though. It's such a middling generic that is not worthy of being called the worst because there is absolutely nothing notable. With the news that reshoots added another 70-80 million on top of 195 million then a ton of marketing costs. The worst part of the movie is defenders claiming it's successful.
The rock has become just a brand. He stopped being an actor of any kind a long time ago. I’m surprised it’s not in his contract that he gets to carry around a can of his energy drink and a bottle of his tequila in every movie.
He was ok in the Wahlberg movie Michael Bay did. He can rebound and do something else . will take some time, but he's not a lead. Great guy in the public, its a shame he couldn't quite get the writers.
Is youtube serious here? I can't believe This keeps happening, what about robot head? Also I'm still waiting for that blockbuster buster ep, because the things said can't go unanswered!
Its not copyright, its hate speech, and I'm disappointed you couldn't find it after two watching's, but I guess the 'intellectually deficient' are not a group that you care about - 24:02
*Nomz:* you won’t stop blocking my videos, out of some misplaced need to shill out to corporations. And I won’t stop reposting them because _these movies are Just too shitty._ I believe you and I are destined to do this forever
Funny thing is ..why did it work for Tom Holland and not for this guy? Because his film flopped. Holland's didn't and people still have the same annoyance with his characterisation , he just was in hits and Centino wasn't.
Dude Reeves SFX were HORRIFIC. That does not carry over now - ill watch Man of Steel again and again - 1978 Superman is OVERRATED as hell. Too much is made about that - it was good FOR ITS TIME. Basically Superman is HARD TO WRITE FOR that's why there were so many delays about its creation.
To be fair you did go pretty hard on Dwayne Johnson. On the other hand it's Dwayne Johnson, he's buff rich and successful, I think the dude can handle a hateful TH-cam video about him that he'll never watch lmao
Doesn't matter, Mr. JOHNSON is part of the protective class due to the levels of melanin in his skin. Those with less melanin must handle him with kid gloves otherwise it will hurt his feelings.
@@BoleDaPoleoh stfu people don’t love the rock because his skin has enough “melanin” give me a break. He’s a charismatic and comes off as a decently humble/kind guy. People love Keanu even more and is definitely protected yet he’s white as a ghost
One of things that makes Namor better, is that Tenoch Huerta (the actor who plays Namor) doesn’t have a contract that’s says he can’t lose a fight. The reason The Rock can’t lose a fight is because of his F&F contract says he can’t.
You do know the way Shazam powers work is that he has to be out in the open in order for the lightning bolt to hit him, so no he would not be able to transform while being in the prison
No he doesn't. The lightning is magical in nature. He could be hundreds of feet underground and it would still work. Have you even read a comic? All he has to do is say Shazam.
I wonder, with the re-setting of the DCEU, will they even bother releasing Ezra Miller's Flash now? After over 5 years of sinking money into it, what will happen there?
Since the movie covers the 'Flashpoint' storyline, and introduces different versions of heroes, its a good place to do the universe reboot, since the time travel story literally reboots history itself. That being said, it will need even more reshoots to actually properly destroy the old DCU...
Apparently, Ezra Miller was offered to reprise his role as the Flash for Gunn's DCU, alongside Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Zachary Levi as Shazam.
Nope. Even before that snap. He was not sunshine and rainbows. He was doom and gloom from the get go. And that is out of character for Superman. Even father Kent was a pessimist who told him not to save people and that was the most egregious character assassination I have ever seen on screen of a comic book character.
I just watched this movie on Amazon Prime and it was very a bad movie. The story line, the conversations, and the acting were really bad. I couldn't finish it.
But I mean, ya'll said you hated Zack Snyder's movies & wanted THAT type of mediocre, colorful, fun bullsh*t, soooo.... 🤷🏻♀️🙄 Careful what you wish for. Between this, and James Gunn's Suicide Squad, I have zero faith in what's coming next. We went from movies like Man of Steel & the 1st Wonder Woman... To films like WW1984 & Black Adam. Needless to say, it wasn't an improvement. But it's what a lot of you people asked for. So I don't feel sorry for anybody who wasted their money on this schlock, cuz its what ya'll asked for. People wanted gimmicky, Marvel-lite type of content, instead of ZSJL. 😆🤡 LMAO So now you're all gonna KEEP getting it. Good fortune to you.
Best part(s) of Birds of Prey was Ewan McGregor’s performance as Black Mask. You can tell he was having a blast playing a sadistic gangster and it shows. Everyone else was forgettable & phoning it in for the paycheck. I wish they didn’t kill him off in the end, but it doesn’t matter now.
I liked the scene where Blagk Adam was released from his prison. The speed of his powers was awesome how they made it look, should have had him burning up bodies and punching 10 punches to ten guys in 2 seconds for the whole movie
I remember when it was thought Rock was gonna be this generation's Schwarzenegger with films made in the vain of classic Schwarzenegger...the disappointment of failed potential is bigger than Rock's roided body
Oh yes, The Scorpion King 2.0. No doubt this movie had a chance to be good, but falls flat in everything. Have not really followed The Rock, but it is amazing how bad he is and makes guys like Shaq look so good, even though neither of them can act. Would rather watch Steel again over anything modern Superhero movie by Marvel or DC.
its amazing how he gets CHEERS wherever he goes .. how cool he is with fans in general. I dont know what it is with Hollywood, but they can make who they want popular easily.
What else is expected? People keep monetarily supporting these cash grabs. It will keep happening until people realize they shouldn't just go out and just watch anything that gets released, then the quality of movies would go up again. They are just cranking these cash grabs out one after the other...
While I am sorry for the BS TH-cam is giving you and your videos, I am glad it gave you the opportunity for that lengthy opening. It had me muffling my laughter because it's late here.
Braaaavo......Standing ovation. I just had the unpleasant misfortune of sitting thru half this movie last Christmas Eve stuck in a hotel bored out of my mind.....and still movie was the dirt worst. Id rather have just went to bed early lol
Meanwhile there’s other people like Bautista who’s doing a great job playing hilariously pathetic characters like Rabban and doing a great job. Thank the stars the rock wasn’t casted in dune
Yes, they lead to no characterisation, no Henry Cavill no fan satisfaction. Just frustration to rant but no real solving of the problem which is better entertainment. All people can do is just tear down everything. what a crap fest Hollywood has become.
I think the best thing inevitably that will happen to Rock’s career is that people won’t want to see him in these movies anymore and some actual meaty and character driven roles that aren’t just action movies made by idiots, written for him to play might actually come his way. His best movie is still The Rundown and while some of the action movies are fun and a hit, a good half or more of them are only watchable because he’s in them and they’re doing nothing for his acting skill development.
Man I really liked Black Adam... I am quite sad it bombed, I wanted more :D Its obvious the movie never intended to make BA a vilain, is would not say he is a hero, just some guy doing some good and not giving a damn how he does it. Don't care they changed the back story, don't care they made BA more of a hero. I really liked seeing him toasting the bad guys. Yeah, to bad they removed the plane scene, loved to see him do that in the movie. Quite funny the "don't give a damn and don't fuck with me guy". I mean leave me alone or I fuck you up, makes sense to me. If I had his powers, you try coming with a fighter jet at me trying to tell me what to do, you better be sure I would be blasting :D
his arc COULD have been the bad guy in SHAZAM! then reformed and basically joining the Justice League as a means of convenience against a greater threat. Brainiac (Injustice 2) or along those lines. But DC couldn't build the brand with enough consecutive hits and very few people knew Black Adam. Just a rush job of a poorly conceived story and they thought "star power" would do the rest.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 Well knowing some things about him I expected him to be a villain but I really like him this way, the antihero (or whatever its called). Personally I would love them to replace that kid Shazam with him, got damn I hate those movies. Perhaps I am getting older but I really don't enjoy kids or grown up people acting like kids. Also the sharing of power and the kids team now. Just give me BA acting badass as the Shazam character.
DCU would have been better off having Aldis Hodge play Hawkman in a standalone Hawkman movie and pair him with Martian Mindhunter (played by Wesley Snipes). Suggestion for the next DC movie: Hawkman (played by Aldis Hodge) encompass the additional abilities of the deceased Dr. Fate and have him pair up with Martian Mindhunter (played by Wesley Snipes, formerly of the Blade franchise).
If they had done the source material, this movie would have done close to a billion. Holy crap that's dark... Joker did well for a reason. Hell, you could have told the whole dark story with no fighting like joker. They don't get it.
Why reboot Aquaman? I would like to see that sequel. It was fun. Man DC has screwed up. A great Wonder Woman ruined by it’s sequel. Their Flash goes insane. The Snyder cut was great.
Yeah, they had options for that sequel, and still could've kept Steve Trevor - as himself. Just get rid of the wishing plotline and bring in the Greek Gods. Didn't they have a budget for that? Cersei is too out of synch with the mainstream? Fine, then bring another Amazon - Nubia to offset Diana... maybe have the plot be to try to bring Diana back to Themyscira or something. The second movie lacked starpower and Barbara Minerva was miscast - Charlize Theron wasn't available?
Thank god I'm not the only one who feels the way you do about Dwayne. Never been a good actor. Only had 2 or 3 good movies (when he was 1st starting out). And I was signed out of this movie when they bypassed Shazam, his Actual nemesis, to go straight to Superman for fanfare that made no sense, but like you said, 8f you have the IQ of a child, then all of that matters not. Explosions. Pew pew. Pow pow.
Not a good actor at all, just likable. The Rock basically plays the Rock in every film and when you pay your $12 you’re paying to see the same old shtick. That and him throwing Joe Rogan under the bus to satisfy the woke mob on Twitter and has caused me to lose any respect or interest in him. He’s a 280 lb coward afraid to do anything that may cause people to criticize him. Another Hollywood shill.
Thing is .. he's pretty cool with fans, and were herded into watching social justice warriors type actors in films we LOATHE as well ! Rock is actually decent with the fan base. He should've been in the Shazam film as the villain, but he couldn't wait and Jungle Cruise flopped and he thought he'd get over with Black Adam. Oh well.
boy not everybody thinks the same way, why is it that people feel the need to make other people look bad for liking a specific type of movie, Dwayne is ok and is good with the fans idk about you though.
Should’ve just had him play black Adam in the Shazam sequel. And if he killed it. Then maybe explore tht option for a solo. Now DC gonna have 2 flops. Instead on condensing it all to 1 movie.
Superman vs batman was a solid movie that people pretend to hate because the media told them to hate it. 2015/16 was before most people realized the critics are full of it.
Can you smeeeeeeell the "hate speech" Nomz is cookin
this just confirmed that your spirit animal is a honey badger
"black" adam. cmon bro, its 2023. you know better...
the Rock's contract doesn't allow him to lose a fight or be criticized
Sometimes, 3 times isn’t always the charm.
I can already smell F10, whenever that dumpster fire is coming out.
At this point, just not liking a shit movie is considered hate speech. Hate speech as a general concept is ridiculous to begin with, especially when the elites can decide to cash anything they don't like hate speech. And normies believe that shit every single time

@@JackSkyblue so... you want DC movies to (kinda) suck forever, and never have a consistent universe that builds up to something?

@@RNgamervideos They de-powered him to make Black Adam look better. He could have bested Black Adam and the main villain with his powers.
Brightburn did a better job at portraying a supervillain with Superman like powers… that’s what Black Adam should’ve done in my opinion
Right. Maybe not pure evil to that extreme but having him be ruthless and maliciously enjoying the violence
Hopefully with Henry Cavill is gone we can get a "BrightBurn2"...
@@strettoasino9006 how was henrry cavil stopping us from getting a brightburn 2?
Kevin Feigie would never hire The Rock because The Rock's no lose clause and arrogance wanting to be in control. Kevin Feigie doesn't allow anyone to have a level of control.
Feige has made Disney Marvel multiple billions. Something DC hasn't done.
He had 15 years to prepare for the role & all he did was act like a literal rock
your comment proves you don't know the character and are just repeating other hater comments. The movie captures exactly how the character is written in modern times, especially the 52 storyline that the movie is mostly based off. See, you can always spot a loud mouth phony who is so insecure he will literally repeat other nonsense to feel part of the crowd.
@@1980Triumphhi rock
I never understood what people saw in Dwayne Johnson. He is a pathetic actor that does the same role over and over again in every movie he is in.
and you are right, he is baited as tough guy but never is.
You know I used to love "Paint it Black" but god damn, it pops up in so many damn movies these days that I can't help but roll my eyes at it now.
That one and fucking Immigrant Song. My brain still just implodes into disgust when I remember Shrek 3.
It was so corny. Though, that could be said about the entire film...
I feel the kids rant about being a superhero and how lucrative it can be, and how you've gotta do movies and tie in games, and products with your name on it all over the shelves. Like that's literally just them telling us what these franchises are to them. They are literally just money trees to them. And you can feel it in every hollow empty thing Hollywood puts out anymore.
Nah, I would say these things are not written to sell and the better show runners like Russo Bros, Christopher McQuarrie cannot be tapped to direct these films and better writers aren't paid. This was nothing more than a missed opportunity and a rush job (it should've been in SHAZAM! As should the Cavill teaser, but the brand stunk, and Superhero films were watered down and oversaturated so by the time DC got off its ass and put out movie, you had radioactive psychos Ezra Miller and Amber Heard still stuck in delayed films .. its a mess - The Hollow empty thing is from uninspired or controlled filmmakers just checking boxes and not creating better stories.
The most iconic thing about black adam is his widows peak
True. Maybe he returns with it sometime down the line - he also had pointed ears which disappeared, I think?
Me Before Watching: "Bro, why you hate this movie, this was alright"
Me After Watching: "Oh, I sort of get it now. I can kinda understand why you hate The Rock so much after you explained it, although I disagree with your takes on the Jumanji Sequels, because that wasn't JUST a Dwayne Johnson movie. It also had Jack Black and Karen Gillan in it, and everyone agrees Jack Black was the best actor. The Jumanji sequels weren't a Rock Bottom splatter"

You cannot do Black Adam without Shazam. Dwayne Johnson tried to be safe with his movies.
All they had to do was put him in, but I think the saw DC crumbling and tried to shoehorn their deal in.. and it flopped, as did The Suicide Squad (despite "critical acclaim")
They tried saying the same thing “you can’t have a Venom movie without Spider-Man,” look how successful that was. Unfortunately lightning didn’t strike twice with Black Adam, which is what they were hoping for.
@@Bingo_the_Pug with Venom they already established the character in Spider-Man. The Venom we got was the PG-13 Venom. They should have made Venom rated R like a horror movie. After he lost the Spider-Man he disappeared
@@SuperOmnicronsj44A new report by The Wrap, Dwayne Johnson wasn't interested in appearing in Shazam. For a long time, it was speculated that The Rock hated the goofy character of Shazam. As a result, he strived to keep Zachary Levi's hero and his anti-hero separate, going so far as to not even a cameo in the first Shazam film.
DC has bowed to The Rock and key him do what he wants
I don't understand how DC can put out such superior animated content but usually can't come anywhere near marvel live action.
Bro its actually better than few os mcu movies.. Especially Thor movies
Director and in this case actor ego. I mean are you really surprised an extended universe with Zack Snyder spearheading it would be sustainable?
The fact that he wanted to make a Black Adam Universe when Black Adam is a secondary character to Shazam just tells me all i need to know
Technically he's a major villain in DC Comics (except in the 52 which this character is more based off of), not just to Captain Marvel/ Shazam. It helps to read comics.
@@Andulvar I love how that has nothing to do with what i said lmaoo when i say secondary i mean that out of the 2 if your going to create a "universe" for one then it would be Shazam because hes the central character in their story and Black Adam is the antagonist in THEIR story obviously to the entire DC universe hes a major villian but this like saying you want to make a movie series based off Doctor Doom instead of the Fantastic Four...
shazam is not even the focal point of DC and he wanted Black Adam to be there at the center...
@@keshi5541 shut up kid he's not the focal point. Nor will he ever be soooooo...shut yer butt.
The problem is that he isn't secondary, you're literally hating the movie and passing grand judgement on the most arbitrary and ridiculous point. Not to mention that you're wrong if you even knew the comics, he has his own title and several storylines outside of Shazam, he has been his own character for over a decade which proves you are just an ignorant hater passing little knowledge that is wrong as fact and motivation.
You gotta love that once Black Shatam bombed, everyone, including the Rock, turned their backs on it. So much for the DCEU's comeback.
Big oof
I feel like the only reason this movie was created is so Dwayne fans could feast their eyes on how Dwayne punches people in a face like he usually does... what a waste.
No it was made to set up the bigger fight with Shazam! and Superman! and it should've been a debut in Shazam, but DC was impatient, as was Rock and they jumped the gun. Dwayne fans are movie fans as he is a movie star - he just isn't a lead - he should've been in an ensemble piece like Shazam! then later on in Suicide Squad as the protagonist or Justice League - he rushed his film. As you said, what a waste. There are franchises that have made millions out of punches in face - Transformers are up to chapter 8 as is Fast and Furious.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 transformers is dead, Hasbro milked that cow to death. The fourth film should have been enough, FAF should have only had 2. Yeah they are money makers but you cant refund your cinema ticket if the film sucks ass.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 Fast and Furious is at chapter 9 actually. Lol
I was just thinking of something: you mentioned you hated Atom Smasher. I kept trying to think who Noah Centino was trying to channel with his performance, and who the writers were trying to rip off: Ezra' Miller's characterization of Barry Allen. Nerdy, fast talking, hyper and that whole thing about needing constant snacks. It took me a minute but that's what I think this film was trying to rip off with Centino's characterization of Atom Smasher. LOL.
Except the grooming, stealing alcohol kidnapping a teen ... Centino didn't copy that part. I cant believe that ass hat Miller still going to be in the Flashpoint and yet no definitive word was put out as to "he will no longer be in the DCEU"
I am so glad I wasn't the only one who hated Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher. I rolled my eyes any time he was on screen 💀
The animated version of the Flash also acts exactly like him. This is nothing like the comic version of the Flash.
He is an annoying reminder of Barry Allen and ant man smashed in one ...shit
Also The Rock didn’t kill The FF franchise you have Vin to thank for that since he kept making films after Paul Walker passed away
I always think of it as two egomaniacs fighting each other for control of the franchise.
Since F&F is practically Vin's own franchise and brings in serious cash, he can't afford to let it die. The Rock wanted a franchise of his own and tried to take more and more control of F&F, got into a fight with Diesel, and was ultimately booted off.
Ironically I dislike Vin more here as he essentially used Paul to keep his franchise going even after his death, and there's no way The Rock would've lost a fight with him in F&F5, which makes me think it was Vin himself who got that part written in.
I’m so SICK of The Rock. He’s not a good actor to me. He seems to full of himself because all the characters he plays have so much of The Rock in them that they don’t feel like the characters they are supposed to be anymore. They feel like The Rock.
I hope I’m making sense. I just sick of seeing him in EVERYTHING. If I were to say Robert Downey Jr., I bet the first thing that comes to mind is Iron Man. If I say Vin Diesel, I bet the first thing that comes to mind is Fast and Furious or Riddick. If I were to say The Rock, what specific franchise comes to mind? I willing to be none, because he’s just in too much! He needs to pick a corner and stay there.
That's what made Black Adam differemt. The Rock actually played the character instead of himself.
Comic book kid should have been played by Kevin hart 😂
Then again, this movie can't be worse than the likes of Batman and Robin, Catwoman, or Birds of Prey.
He said "one of the worst". So he is in line with these disasterpieces.

All the ones that have"bombed" had some type of message being pushed. I'm just saying it's good to just get a good I'm gonna whopp everyone's ass movie.
Don't even need to watch the video. You had me at the title - I completely agree and I'm glad folks in the DC fandom are acknowledging that. Glad we aren't going to get more of it. When the best part of the film is the post-credit of Cavill's Superman, you've missed the mark.
Right imagine how bad ur movie had to be so worst superman become the best part of ur movie 🤣
@@Chadcat180 Yup! It was painful sitting through that thing. I don't even remember breaking a smile
Cavill was great for Witcher. I just wish they had just focused more on him and less on every one else.
Henry knew the story & character but the writers decided to act like assholes & thought they knew better.
Like I said earlier. I found this film to be average, nothing special.
I enjoyed every minute of Black Adam. There is an audience for everybody, but not everybody is for the audience.

This must be Dwayne Johnson’s number 1 fan.
The guy just is good with crowds, but isn't a lead actor - just needs to do ensemble features. One thing he could stand to do is get a series and rebrand his drama chops ... something like that would be very good for him rather than trying to knock everything out of the park.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 unfortunately his ego must be in crappy action films. Like him holding a helicopter down with a chain in that Hobbs film 😂😂😂😂
He was like an excitable uncle poorly explaining his perfect superhero movie idea and I didn't have the heart to tell him that all he did was mash Terminator 2, The Mummy, and The Avengers together.
What surprised me was some of their powers ,like how he woke from 5000 years knowing perfect english without an accent. And how Cyclones power changed her hair style, length, and color. Amazing.
Some things you just have to ignore. Like, how does Thanos speak perfect English when he wasn’t even born on Earth? It doesn’t matter.
@@Bingo_the_Pug I think we can forgive an advanced Alien Warlord for having some kind of translator technology
If you actually paid attention to the movie he loses the ability to speak English. The powers of Shazam give the bearer extended knowledge and allows the person to learn and speak foreign languages - it is literally from the comics. If you paid attention he doesn't speak English at first, he speaks his native language when freed, only after hearing the language does he pick up on it and he speaks very little of it, once he renounces his powers he goes back to actually speaking what he actually knows - minus the powers. I guess you thought you were clever about that but no, you're just ignorant with comprehension issues.
This movie was absolutely horrible. That kid was frustratingly annoying...his mother was frustratingly annoying...the plot was frustratingly annoying...the fact that Dr. Fate unnecessarily sacrificed himself was frustratingly annoying...eff this movie

I could tell from the trailers that this movie was going to be formulaic af; maybe not bad, but definitely not different. Plus I never bought The Rock as this character; no matter how passionate he is, this was just a bad miscast, sorry Dwayne.
I liked the movie. It was on par with most of the DC movies as of late. It wasn’t the best in the world but I enjoyed it. I’m less concerned about how much it made compared to other movies. It not making 500m+ is not my concern as a audience member. I just want to see a movie and enjoy my time watching.

I liked it too. I didn't think it was too bad
No one likes annoying child characters. They get in the way, they don't listen, and at some point their actions call for them to need to be rescued.
The Justice Society has so many cooler members, but they chose "Grow Big Guy" and "Wind Girl."
His relationship to Atom Smasher was integral to Adam's story arc in the comics. So they didn't just randomly choose "grow big guy," they just didn't use him right.
@@WompaStompaCyn Atom Smasher was just one big case of Nepotism. How were they gonna make him likeable in this age of Nepo babies?
Here is a problem, the movie isn't even bad but nowhere near good though. It's such a middling generic that is not worthy of being called the worst because there is absolutely nothing notable. With the news that reshoots added another 70-80 million on top of 195 million then a ton of marketing costs. The worst part of the movie is defenders claiming it's successful.
The rock has become just a brand. He stopped being an actor of any kind a long time ago. I’m surprised it’s not in his contract that he gets to carry around a can of his energy drink and a bottle of his tequila in every movie.
He was ok in the Wahlberg movie Michael Bay did. He can rebound and do something else . will take some time, but he's not a lead. Great guy in the public, its a shame he couldn't quite get the writers.
Is youtube serious here? I can't believe This keeps happening, what about robot head? Also I'm still waiting for that blockbuster buster ep, because the things said can't go unanswered!
I would recommend Shazam, it was actually very good up until the end, it got a little cheesy, but still overall decent.
Sucks about the copyright strikes, so I've supported by watching the whole video twice ;)
Its not copyright, its hate speech, and I'm disappointed you couldn't find it after two watching's, but I guess the 'intellectually deficient' are not a group that you care about - 24:02

Your average everyday moviegoer doesn't even know who Black adam is, but I do think your average moviegoer does know that the rock is a bad actor
I actually liked this film it was a dumb fun film
I am so numb to bad movies that I found this movie to be......... a movie. Watch it for the action and never talk about it ever again.
Even Namor is written better
One of things that makes Namor better, is that Tenoch Huerta (the actor who plays Namor) doesn’t have a contract that’s says he can’t lose a fight. The reason The Rock can’t lose a fight is because of his F&F contract says he can’t.
You do know the way Shazam powers work is that he has to be out in the open in order for the lightning bolt to hit him, so no he would not be able to transform while being in the prison
No he doesn't. The lightning is magical in nature. He could be hundreds of feet underground and it would still work. Have you even read a comic? All he has to do is say Shazam.
@@Andulvar then maybe it were other interpretations that I saw
I wonder, with the re-setting of the DCEU, will they even bother releasing Ezra Miller's Flash now? After over 5 years of sinking money into it, what will happen there?
Since the movie covers the 'Flashpoint' storyline, and introduces different versions of heroes, its a good place to do the universe reboot, since the time travel story literally reboots history itself. That being said, it will need even more reshoots to actually properly destroy the old DCU...
Apparently, Ezra Miller was offered to reprise his role as the Flash for Gunn's DCU, alongside Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Zachary Levi as Shazam.
How exactly does one negotiate a discount at Target?
TH-cam stop being dumb challenge, impossible
The kid was so annoying it kept taking me out of the movie
i am here to rewatch
Cavill could have been a great superman if they didn't have him snap Zod's neck. Completely out of character for superman
Nope. Even before that snap. He was not sunshine and rainbows. He was doom and gloom from the get go. And that is out of character for Superman. Even father Kent was a pessimist who told him not to save people and that was the most egregious character assassination I have ever seen on screen of a comic book character.
Out of character? So you'd prefer if he let Zod murder all of those people including kids? Apparently you think that's more in character for superman?

Nothing worse than birds of prey and ww84

Between this, and James Gunn's Suicide Squad, I have zero faith in what's coming next. We went from movies like Man of Steel & the 1st Wonder Woman...
To films like WW1984 & Black Adam.
Needless to say, it wasn't an improvement.
But it's what a lot of you people asked for. So I don't feel sorry for anybody who wasted their money on this schlock, cuz its what ya'll asked for. People wanted gimmicky, Marvel-lite type of content, instead of ZSJL. 😆🤡 LMAO
So now you're all gonna KEEP getting it.
Good fortune to you.
Batgirl. it never even saw a release. That's how bad it was.
I managed 15 minutes of Birds of Prey. It's just feminist fantasy & misandry for laughs.
The only thing I remember about Birds of Prey was Joker and Harley Quinn breaking up.
Best part(s) of Birds of Prey was Ewan McGregor’s performance as Black Mask. You can tell he was having a blast playing a sadistic gangster and it shows. Everyone else was forgettable & phoning it in for the paycheck. I wish they didn’t kill him off in the end, but it doesn’t matter now.
I actually liked Black Adam.
Saw it twice.
About to see it a third time.
Good movie.
Full of action
Exactly what I wanted from a comic book movie.
I liked the scene where Blagk Adam was released from his prison. The speed of his powers was awesome how they made it look, should have had him burning up bodies and punching 10 punches to ten guys in 2 seconds for the whole movie
I thought it was good too
@@mrmvp2323 I wish I can turn my brain off like you
I remember when it was thought Rock was gonna be this generation's Schwarzenegger with films made in the vain of classic Schwarzenegger...the disappointment of failed potential is bigger than Rock's roided body
Oh yes, The Scorpion King 2.0. No doubt this movie had a chance to be good, but falls flat in everything. Have not really followed The Rock, but it is amazing how bad he is and makes guys like Shaq look so good, even though neither of them can act. Would rather watch Steel again over anything modern Superhero movie by Marvel or DC.
its amazing how he gets CHEERS wherever he goes .. how cool he is with fans in general. I dont know what it is with Hollywood, but they can make who they want popular easily.
He kissings the right people’s ass
What else is expected? People keep monetarily supporting these cash grabs. It will keep happening until people realize they shouldn't just go out and just watch anything that gets released, then the quality of movies would go up again. They are just cranking these cash grabs out one after the other...
I used to like the rock, but I've since educated myself on his complete narrative. Learning moment for me.
"hey lets lock up this antihero in a prison, and then 5 mins later break him out! even tho we have a hero that can see the future!" LMFAOOOO so stupid
While I am sorry for the BS TH-cam is giving you and your videos, I am glad it gave you the opportunity for that lengthy opening. It had me muffling my laughter because it's late here.
I wanted The Rock as CAPTAIN MARVEL b.k.a SHAZAM. I’m happy this film was made none the less.
Braaaavo......Standing ovation. I just had the unpleasant misfortune of sitting thru half this movie last Christmas Eve stuck in a hotel bored out of my mind.....and still movie was the dirt worst. Id rather have just went to bed early lol
Meanwhile there’s other people like Bautista who’s doing a great job playing hilariously pathetic characters like Rabban and doing a great job. Thank the stars the rock wasn’t casted in dune
It was better than Justice League and I don't mean the Snyder cut.
You’re pinning blame on The Rock way too much as if DC hasn’t had a proven track record of awful films for well over a decade now.
My favorite Rock movie was Gridiron Gang. Not sure why his acting range just flatlined after that movie.
Always love these Anomaly rant videos!
Yes, they lead to no characterisation, no Henry Cavill no fan satisfaction. Just frustration to rant but no real solving of the problem which is better entertainment. All people can do is just tear down everything. what a crap fest Hollywood has become.
Omg thank you for mentioning the kid I feel like all reviews left that shit out
As expected.... the indecisiveness of the movie to portray BM as villain or anti hero.
I think the best thing inevitably that will happen to Rock’s career is that people won’t want to see him in these movies anymore and some actual meaty and character driven roles that aren’t just action movies made by idiots, written for him to play might actually come his way.
His best movie is still The Rundown and while some of the action movies are fun and a hit, a good half or more of them are only watchable because he’s in them and they’re doing nothing for his acting skill development.
Man I really liked Black Adam... I am quite sad it bombed, I wanted more :D
Its obvious the movie never intended to make BA a vilain, is would not say he is a hero, just some guy doing some good and not giving a damn how he does it. Don't care they changed the back story, don't care they made BA more of a hero. I really liked seeing him toasting the bad guys. Yeah, to bad they removed the plane scene, loved to see him do that in the movie. Quite funny the "don't give a damn and don't fuck with me guy". I mean leave me alone or I fuck you up, makes sense to me. If I had his powers, you try coming with a fighter jet at me trying to tell me what to do, you better be sure I would be blasting :D
his arc COULD have been the bad guy in SHAZAM! then reformed and basically joining the Justice League as a means of convenience against a greater threat. Brainiac (Injustice 2) or along those lines. But DC couldn't build the brand with enough consecutive hits and very few people knew Black Adam. Just a rush job of a poorly conceived story and they thought "star power" would do the rest.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 Well knowing some things about him I expected him to be a villain but I really like him this way, the antihero (or whatever its called).
Personally I would love them to replace that kid Shazam with him, got damn I hate those movies. Perhaps I am getting older but I really don't enjoy kids or grown up people acting like kids. Also the sharing of power and the kids team now.
Just give me BA acting badass as the Shazam character.
DCU would have been better off having Aldis Hodge play Hawkman in a standalone Hawkman movie and pair him with Martian Mindhunter (played by Wesley Snipes).
Suggestion for the next DC movie:
Hawkman (played by Aldis Hodge) encompass the additional abilities of the deceased Dr. Fate and have him pair up with Martian Mindhunter (played by Wesley Snipes, formerly of the Blade franchise).
Wanted to watch your video but couldn't finish due to all the F bombs
If they had done the source material, this movie would have done close to a billion. Holy crap that's dark... Joker did well for a reason. Hell, you could have told the whole dark story with no fighting like joker. They don't get it.
Black Adam acted more like a WWE Star rather than a Super Villain 😂 😂
Why reboot Aquaman? I would like to see that sequel. It was fun. Man DC has screwed up. A great Wonder Woman ruined by it’s sequel. Their Flash goes insane. The Snyder cut was great.
Yeah, they had options for that sequel, and still could've kept Steve Trevor - as himself. Just get rid of the wishing plotline and bring in the Greek Gods. Didn't they have a budget for that? Cersei is too out of synch with the mainstream? Fine, then bring another Amazon - Nubia to offset Diana... maybe have the plot be to try to bring Diana back to Themyscira or something. The second movie lacked starpower and Barbara Minerva was miscast - Charlize Theron wasn't available?
Thank god I'm not the only one who feels the way you do about Dwayne.
Never been a good actor.
Only had 2 or 3 good movies (when he was 1st starting out).
And I was signed out of this movie when they bypassed Shazam, his Actual nemesis, to go straight to Superman for fanfare that made no sense, but like you said, 8f you have the IQ of a child, then all of that matters not. Explosions. Pew pew. Pow pow.
Not a good actor at all, just likable. The Rock basically plays the Rock in every film and when you pay your $12 you’re paying to see the same old shtick.
That and him throwing Joe Rogan under the bus to satisfy the woke mob on Twitter and has caused me to lose any respect or interest in him. He’s a 280 lb coward afraid to do anything that may cause people to criticize him. Another Hollywood shill.
Thing is .. he's pretty cool with fans, and were herded into watching social justice warriors type actors in films we LOATHE as well ! Rock is actually decent with the fan base. He should've been in the Shazam film as the villain, but he couldn't wait and Jungle Cruise flopped and he thought he'd get over with Black Adam. Oh well.
boy not everybody thinks the same way, why is it that people feel the need to make other people look bad for liking a specific type of movie, Dwayne is ok and is good with the fans idk about you though.
Should’ve just had him play black Adam in the Shazam sequel. And if he killed it. Then maybe explore tht option for a solo. Now DC gonna have 2 flops. Instead on condensing it all to 1 movie.
One of the worst when you have Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey? I'd say Black Adam for the cool stuff elevates it to atleast a 5 > averayge > okay.
Southland Tales and PAIN & GAIN are Dwayne’s best acting roles…and pimps don’t commit suicide.
Love the movie .....haters will be haters !!
I’m so sick off this hate speech !!!!
I got to say this movie is far from great but I cannot say its the worst while superman v batman still exists
Superman vs batman was a solid movie that people pretend to hate because the media told them to hate it. 2015/16 was before most people realized the critics are full of it.

Hate speech is a crime against corporations. It's not a formal law yet, but will be soon.
