You know an in review is gonna be a classic when Greg grabs the microphone stand and starts standing up mid-rant. Taking me back to the old X men in review days 😭
Hawkman is reincarnated every time he dies and usually regains the memories of his past lives as he gets older, and Doctor Fate's helmet gives him longer than normal life. That's why they have been friends for a very long time and would have predated the Justice League. Of course they didn't show any of that in any of DCEU before now so there is no way anyone would know that unless they were really familiar with those characters history.
Every time they mentioned atom smasher I heard Adam smasher and had to take a half-second to remind myself that they're talking about a spandex guy, not the super cyborg from Cyberpunk.
Really like this format of people in the studio and people from remote. I feel like it flowed extremely well even though you all weren't in the same room. Opens the door to a lot of interesting guest opportunities!
It's nice but I feel like I wouldn't want that to be overused. Seeing an in-person dynamic is so refreshing/less depressing...it's good to have a variety of cool guests but I'd only want it to be utilized in like
@@danielberesford2899 That's totally fair and I actually agree for the core KF members, but before if like James and Elyse couldn't make it to SF, they wouldn't be on the podcast AT ALL. Whereas now they can via remote. That's why I said it's going to be nice for guests going forward.
@@IAMBATwal I wouldn't take it that far man.. I meant it in a light hearted way to be honest. There is more than just Greg reviewing these movies.. I am just biased
Story was thin. But the action and comedy hit. Rock was good, the entire JSA worked. I had full confidence in fate and Hawkman, but was worried about smasher and cyclone, and they worked. Fantastic set btw.
I wish we got a Dr Fate movie instead of this, Pierce Brosnan was great in that role. And honestly, I think the Dr Fate costume is one of the coolest superhero costumes of all time.
Great review :D Btw is it just me or is it kind of confusing to see the posters changing all the time on the far left and right? Maybe that's just a framing thing but it's a bit distracting to be honest. 😅 Love the new studio though!
You could spend all of Eternium searching for Unobtainium only to end up with Vibranium & Adamantium :) Would be good to see The Rock finally work with some great directors & scripts and actually challenge himself, wish he'd be more like Bautista & Cena in partnering up with great directors and letting them take the lead in those projects! With him furiously hyping up a Black Adam vs Superman movie and seemingly skipping Shazam, it feels like they're already rushing to it like they did with BvS with not enough good storytelling done beforehand to make you truly care and for it to really matter. I fear that movie will essentially be the 3rd Act of Man of Steel but this time for most of the entire movie with insane amounts of CGI destruction with Black Adam (cos it'll be The Rock's movie on which he'll be a Producer) not losing!
This movie was dope to watch at the theaters. Exciting fight scenes and some cool dynamics between the cast. It’s def a movie from 2005 but just updated visuals. Though the story is not executed well, what it is trying to say was actually good and I appreciated it. Reminded me of Saturday cartoons just more death 😅
There was a lot a facepalm moments they brought up, but once Tim said something about zombies... That solidified my decision to wait until it's on HBO Max
We did see Rock as an imminent threat, when he was in the hoodie killing all the 1st soldiers, we had no idea if the lady would be killed by him too till he saved her, so for the bulk of the action scene, he was actually scary and they kept his eyes covered intentionally for that tone. It is similar to the beginning of T2 when you're not sure if Arnold's good or not. The Rock also played a scary pursuer/killer for the first half of Fast Five, as well as the majority of Faster, so he's not obsessed with being a likable/charming guy, the director probably just wanted that out of him.
@@WebstarGaming If I was in the vicinity of his character in-person, yea, the dude was killing people left and right with no concern over his "charm". In the movie Faster for example, every single character around him was scared to death of him.
@@Alex_Logan22 He wasn't really all that scary in "Black Adam" to be honest. To Greg's point, it was probably because he was killing the people who essentially deserved it: Intergang and those openly oppressing the people of Kandaaq. In "Fast Five", he was for sure a great pseudo-antagonist, but nothing he does there is all that different from what he does in "Black Adam", or any of his post-Disney action-movies for that matter; right down to the fact he ends up teaming up with whoever's supposed to be "against" by film's end.
@@thedefinitionisthis In his pursuit of Dom he was mercilessly killing people in his way and demonstrated he didn't have a problem killing the protagonists if push came to shove, even attempting to use a wrench on Dom. He was a scary threat for the main protagonists till they saved him.
@@patriots234 Maybe it's because they've been on the "Zoom Call" for the past few years, it seems like a giant step-up...... But no, this set is fucking RAD. Looking like SportsCenter... but for nerd shit lol.
The plot is very thin, but I still had a lot of fun. The movie has a lot of style and pretty great action. The camera was also inventive with some cool shots. It reminded me of an early 2000s cape flick with the cheese and camp, but I was for it. The kid was tolerable and the catch phrase joke actually got me. Too much slow-mo and some odd ass music choices, but with lovable characters who I’m so glad just already exist in this world. Fate and Hawkman were awesome. I also think the score is straight up fantastic. Black Adam’s theme is fire and immediately added to the gym playlist. It’s a mess, but it’s a fun mess. I can’t lie and say I wasn’t smiling for a lot of the movie, especially the post credit. I think The Rock’s clear passion for this universe and the characters is infectious. I just hope the next go around is a better product overall.
This is so validating,...I said from the day this was announced....why are we doing a movie on black adam again? The fact that this movie exists and a sequel to cavills superman doesn't is baffling..
55:55 really thought they were going to reveal that he already had powers, but just wanted more with the crown. surviving being crushed without a scratch, and reveal that he flew the other guy in the air and dropped him. but nope.
It was something to be in the theater and watch a mom and her son cheering Black Adam on when the JSA show up. But then after killing a handful of people(yes those people were bad) having civilians cheering. That kid going through the streets yelling that they finally have a hero, seems tone deaf when you look at where it is supposed to take place, the rock’s background, the people’s background, and the idea that he’s just a “hero” that kills being the one they want to represent them.
Some of these criticisms do not ring true to me. -I don't see what's wrong with wanting due process for terrorists. If you could apprehend them, why wouldn't you? These superheroes in particular should have no problem taking at least some of them into custody. Terrorists are killed most of the time, sure, but Guantanamo Bay does exist. -The hero/not a hero thing, I think, is just a matter of different characters' POVs. The JSA sees things in black-and-white and can't accept a different way of being a hero, therefore they see BA as a villain; the people of Kahndaq see him as a hero because he took out their oppressors; and BA himself doesn't see himself either way. Thus, by the end, it's decided that he can be something in between. He will crush anyone who stands in his or Kahndaq's way without blinking, but he won't necessarily go out of his way to antagonize anyone.
Excited to watch this! I simply cannot get over how amazing it is to have the crew back together in person. The dynamic is so much better and that's saying something because even the work from home shows were so damn good. Also a reminder that the volume is too low on shows right now. Typically listen to old KF stuff and other media at volume level 30 and new KF stuff has to get pumped up to 50 to get the same volume. Edit: By around 40:00 I had to turn it up to 60. Not sure how it got even quieter.
@@baundiesel haven't had a chance to listen yet. Only got to Greg standing and shouting snd had to head out to work and left my earphones at home. Smh. I'm certain it will all sort out over time.
Completely agree with you. When I watch on my TV in remote times I had my volume at like 20-30, now I have to go to 50-60 just to start making it the same. Probably just needs time to sort out.
Something happened to me in this movie that has never happened before but i genuinely fell asleep TWICE in this movie to be woken by my girlfriend and friends laughing cause i couldn’t keep my eyes open. The rock was right about the hierarchy of the DCEU changing, this is now the No.1 most boring film in the DCEU.
I'm totally with Greg on this. This was not good, but it had some good moments. The plot was messy and bloated. I'm also with Greg on the voting, it was tied around Aquaman. Oh well
Pierce Brosnan was cool as Dr Fate. Action was plentiful which was needed. The dialogue, script, story, acting not soo much. I enjoyed it as a popcorn flick however because every time I was thinking, this isn’t great, more action would start too tell me shut up and eat more popcorn
I liked the movie Its what I imagine punching The Rock is like in real life It doing absolutely nothing to him The people’s champ as a comic book character I’m watching it again in theaters AMC A-List FTW
"International stability" AKA preserving the status quo -- one where America is the world's superpower (we all know where those stolen natural resources were going). They didn't fuck up the Justice Society of America -- it was a pointed commentary on interventionism & what passes for justice in America. Amanda Waller is a villain once again like she was in Suicide Squad, except she sent the Faces instead of the Heels for this mission (hence all the grandstanding about not killing). I mean it's cut and dry allegory for the US military & private military contractors' occupation in the Middle East to extract oil for Roxxon - - I mean Exxon. I think they handled that aspect rather well.
I 100% disagree with ur opinions. This movie was extremely enjoyable and entertaining. Easily in top 3 dc movies. Yes has some slow moments but overall good.
Surprisingly my least favorite part was the Rock as Black Adam. I expected with him having as much control as he did that he would've had them write him some better lines. It felt like a WWE movie dialog for him. The rest of the JSA I thought stole the show and were much better written and acted. Though I do agree with the obvious plot hole of the JSA not caring about intergang before Black Adam shows up. It wasn't the worst DCEU movie I've seen but it was far from the best.
I felt like this movie literally stole scenes from other movies,like the slo mo out of the mountain was literally a quicksilver scene, terminator 2 in general, a man gets chucked of a cliff with slow mo in filter like 300 the list goes on…
I haven’t seen it yet but my issue is the rock will never be believable for me in this kind of role. He’s spent so much time being that “the rock” character where he’s the biggest person in the room making wisecracks during a fight he will always win, because he’s the biggest one in the room, and it seems like his roles are designed to really play into that at his direction. So unless this is darker than the trailers looked, idk how I’m not just going to see his Hobbs and Shaw-esque character the whole time.
I'm rarely with Tim on rankings, but I'd probably place this dead last in the DCEU, too. Shocking that Andy & Nick would want it above _Aquaman_ (which I guess shouldn't be too shocking since it's on brand with their tastes) but I'm with Greg on not having it above ZSJL. I'm not even a Zack Snyder fan, and yeah that cut's 4 hours long, but it's leagues better than _Black Adam_
I haven't seen Black Adam yet but I think the only truly bad DC movies are Suicide Squad and WW2. It's mostly pretty good, not amazing but good. Hopefully James Gunn can turn the DCEU from good to great.
This movie was absolutely terrible, right there with the bottom of the dceu. Seeing all the positive fan reactions makes me feel like I’m losing my goddamn mind lmao
My thing with the kid in this movie is I feel like the role was written for like a 10 year old… and they cast a 15 year old, and it just doesn’t work Also, when you’re trying to sneak away from mercenaries, why the FUCK would you get on a skateboard?!
And just when you think Andy couldn't sink any lower after stealing Greg Miller's baby boy from him, he tries to put this trashfire movie above the Snydercut.........
You guys have such different taste than me... it wasn't perfect but I thought this movie was good fun! 3rd act was the usual cgi poop but the rest was a good bit of popcorn fun.
Yeh, I was telling my friend it was like a dumb fun movie. Great, no, but watchable and enjoyable. Also, I don't have the affinity for the dceu that Greg does. So I can see the frustration. But i enjoyed it.
@@JigInsane I also had no idea who Black Adam was before watching, but I get the frustration when they change up a favourite character. Going into this not knowing anything and expecting nothing, it was good fun. Way better than some of the last marvel projects (...ahem...she hulk...) that they seemed to love. To each their own
Ugh. I'm so tired of the disrespect the JSA gets. If y'all want an amazing run of JSA comics, go back to Geoff Johns run in the 2000s. Fucking amazing. I like The Rock, but he as Greg said, should've been the villain in Shazam, but his ego won't allow to be the villain anymore.
It would be cool if whenever Kevin wanted to talk they put his face in the popcorn like he was inside the machine.
Or or hear me out
When kevin goes to talk they let his face in the popcorn thing but it's always muted cuz who wants to hear from Kevin
Am I right 👍

I know right!? Nick is on the end and Andy is back in the middle
i absolutely LOVE andy playing his keyboard thing for the podcast within a podcast intros.
Andy's straight faced stare while Greg is going off seals the deal for me here.
Every time they mentioned atom smasher I heard Adam smasher and had to take a half-second to remind myself that they're talking about a spandex guy, not the super cyborg from Cyberpunk.
I watched the film and this entire episode and thought they were both called 'Adam Smasher' until your comment.
I FUCKING LOVE WHEN GREG GOES OFF IN THESE IN REVIEWS!!! He speaks for me in so many ways as a long time DC comics fan!! 🤣😂🤣

Finally I agree with Greg on something
I live for Greg ranting about the DCEU
It was annoying

Hawkman, Meg & Boff. International law attorneys with specialty in due process.
I’ll never be over watching you guys be in person again. It’s still so damn hype!
John Hawkmin loves due process 😂
It's the main lesson we learned from Black Adam is that we need five people on all in reviews from now on
I don’t get if Kevin watched the movie AND is in the studio, why doesn’t he just vote for the official ranking?
@@austinmcmanus1397 for real the person in broadcast should be the tie breaker
Man Of Steel was literally on TCM just last week so Nick is not (completely) crazy
This In Review is how I choose to watch the movie
Me too!

And honestly, I think the Dr Fate costume is one of the coolest superhero costumes of all time.

To the DCEU's credit, I never for once thought Hawkman was a copy of Falcon.
He was a big buff, tough stuff, flying purple yeeter
I legit don't understand the way voting works anymore hah
I love how Greg got so mad he almost turned into Lola from big mouth

Last all my kids loved it from age 15 down to 5yr . Plus me I didn't know most the characters. So I just watch the movie for what it was.
Y'all set my expectations so low for this that I ended up liking it way more than I expected 😂
I liked the generic sky beam, took me back to 2012
Andy's slander of Aquaman can't keep going unchecked. That movie is fun as heck and has an incredibly cohesive tone and vision for the world.
Tim’s trippin rewatch suicide squad. This is 10x better than that
Half of you will think this movie is dumb fun. And the other half will think this movie is just dumb.

When are this and the She Hulk one going up as podcasts?
So it’s basically Dr. Strange , falcon with shield, Ant Man vs lighting Superman/thor
Was waiting for this!
The more I think about it this movie would have been so much better if they just replaced the justice society with shazam
Black Adam adjusting to modern society and language was the best superpower.
Pierce Brosnan was cool as Dr Fate. Action was plentiful which was needed. The dialogue, script, story, acting not soo much. I enjoyed it as a popcorn flick however because every time I was thinking, this isn’t great, more action would start too tell me shut up and eat more popcorn

I’m glad Greg mentioned the fact that Batman killed. Black Adam being called a villain was too funny to me.
This movie was absolutely terrible, right there with the bottom of the dceu. Seeing all the positive fan reactions makes me feel like I’m losing my goddamn mind lmao
Even though it was a mess, this was near the top for me. Top 4 for sure.
The hierarchy of power something something
My thing with the kid in this movie is I feel like the role was written for like a 10 year old… and they cast a 15 year old, and it just doesn’t work
Also, when you’re trying to sneak away from mercenaries, why the FUCK would you get on a skateboard?!
Greg man Greg 😂
I definitely don't agree. Personally Black Adam is in my top 5 but I do love have intense Greg gets with the reviews
Did I watch Black Adam just for this In Review? Maybe.. Did the In Review make it worth it? Definitely.
This whole movie reminded me of the bad movies starring The Seven in the "The Boys" universe.
Adamantine was in Paradise Lost
And just when you think Andy couldn't sink any lower after stealing Greg Miller's baby boy from him, he tries to put this trashfire movie above the Snydercut.........
You guys have such different taste than me... it wasn't perfect but I thought this movie was good fun! 3rd act was the usual cgi poop but the rest was a good bit of popcorn fun.
Yeh, I was telling my friend it was like a dumb fun movie. Great, no, but watchable and enjoyable. Also, I don't have the affinity for the dceu that Greg does. So I can see the frustration. But i enjoyed it.
@@JigInsane I also had no idea who Black Adam was before watching, but I get the frustration when they change up a favourite character. Going into this not knowing anything and expecting nothing, it was good fun. Way better than some of the last marvel projects (...ahem...she hulk...) that they seemed to love. To each their own
Ugh. I'm so tired of the disrespect the JSA gets. If y'all want an amazing run of JSA comics, go back to Geoff Johns run in the 2000s. Fucking amazing. I like The Rock, but he as Greg said, should've been the villain in Shazam, but his ego won't allow to be the villain anymore.
Comedians name is Mo Ahmer
Wow ...
Birds of prey above man of steel
