One of my favorite parts was how Hawkman kept stepping to Adam throughout the whole movie despite getting his ass DECISIVELY WHOOPED barely even 20min before 😂
That part! It's like come on dude..lol
Just watched it tonight! I think it was was just to show his heart/stubbornness about justice and what not. Like when he kept having on Doctor Fate’s force shield even tho he knew he couldn’t break it or when he went to fight Sabbac even tho he knew he couldn’t beat him. He just tries to do what he thinks is right no matter what including trying to knock teth Adam down a notch for doing “unjust” things like killing ppl.
Well yeah, that's pretty much how Hawkman rolls. If you remotely know anything about Hawkman outside of this movie you would know that Hawkman (while not being the strongest or biggest dog in the fight) has that heart and no quit in him. Hawkgirl is the same way. Which is why I actually appreciated them showing that while he might not be able to beat you, he's going to keep coming and do his damnedest to stick with you
Right? He was so persistent!
@@gaminggodforever7945 but he’s more ruthless in the comics which balances out the stubbornness.
It's been 15 years since The Rock was first approached as Black Adam, and the time he's been promoting this movie on social media has felt like 15 years.
He should have waited another 15. This shit was mid.
@@SuperMurray2009 nobody cares, sir
@@Oldschool981 Except you
Jesse Shade you are a hero for having the spill archived content on your channel. I listen to your channel all the time.
@@SuperMurray2009 It was everything I thought it would be nothing more nothing less. I enjoyed better than Aquaman,Wonder Woman,and both Justice League movies.If you're not a DC fan that's not saying much I guess.I put it on the level of the second Suicide Squad movie even though that was more comedy
10:10 Pierce Brosnan literally said he wanted to play Doctor Fate because he and his son are huge Doctor Strange fans.
Don't you mean Dr fate fans ?
Alot of DC and Marvel characters are way too similar.
Dwayne hasn’t been a full-on villain since the Doom movie. I was actually kinda looking forward to seeing him do it again. A guy can dream.
Just sad
Was Get Smart before that?
@@arisucheddar3097 I actually forgot all about that movie.
And red notice
@@arisucheddar3097 Love THAT MOVIE! One of the best movies of 2008.
I had issues with this movie
1) the dialogue to me was poor.
2)the rock was basically the rock in a costume.
3) The rock didnt make any effort to change his accent and add any atleast foreign language.
4. I wanted to see more of evil and at the last minute (for whatever the reason is showed some sort of humanity)
5. To me the movie was more like a justice society movie than a black adams movie (to me that is)
I love it when he says his catchphrase, “the hierarchy of power in the dc universe is about to change” at the end. So powerful. Such character growth. Bravo, Mr. Rock “The Dwayne” Johnson
Trying to shoot Superman in the eyeball was one of the few cool images in the 2006 Superman Returns 👁 🔫
Congratulations and thank for supporting our channel. you have been shortlisted Amongst our giveaway winners believe us or not we just want to say Thank you for everything..
This stinger is not just the usual "let's talk" scene, it is a muscular bro bro "let's talk" scene😂
Exactly
Damn Julian really just sat there and agreed with all the criticisms and then said Full Price? 😅
Not just a Full Price. A High Full Price.
@breadstickzzzzzzz idk I think all these writing and character problems override good action but that's just me
He younger
testament to the movie that the young boys are the people who like this movie. lol
Full price is insane
"Mr. Johnson, could you please refrain from talking about the stinger?" "What you say?!" "Could you..." "IT DOESN'T MATTER"
If he didn’t do it, it would have (and DID) ended up on TH-cam anyway, because people are douchebags.
They over did it with the damn boy (and his mother at times) chasing Adam around like he/they were his personal cheerleaders, like seriously this kid can keep up with a damn God, on a SKATEBOARD!?!!?
And superheroes have been destroying cities since the comic books, idk why ppl act like that's a new concept, it helps sell the "superhuman" idea
The Rock told everyone about the stinger because he needed to drum up hype for the movie. The marketing campaign looked mid as hell.
But have you considered the hierarchy of power is about to change
@@hobbes6392 I had a bean burrito after 9pm last night, so the hierarchy of my butt is about to change.
39:55 the "Let's talk" bit about stingers is gold
What I am sad about is Dwayne's ego though. In his contracts he says he isn't allowed to lose, and apparently doesn't want to be an antagonist in a film, and plus always the headliner. So basically we'll never get a Shazam/Black Adam movie, even if they work together in the end
It's why I don't get why people want him to fight Superman if he's just gonna win
That's...actually lame as fuck 😂😂🤣🤣 takes all the steam out of his films now.
He just said that he thinks Superman is stronger
Which is really freaking stupid
@@SuperMurray2009 💯
Pierce Browsman didn’t want to have that helmet on for more than 1 min at a time, lol
Fun fact: Dr strange is actually a copy of Dr. Fate. Dr. Fate came first
For a lot of people, they see the movies are the origins of characters. There's people out there that think Conan was created with the Arnold movie.
They need to make a Dr. Fate origin movie with Brosnan. He was superb...
💯
@@alcottdevalte7440. Some of the best superhero casting of all time!
@@alcottdevalte7440 I wish they did
Black Adam knowing English you all forget the S.H.A.Z.A.M. Acronym he literally has all of the power combined so interpreting a language wouldn’t be hard , plus the man’s is magic
the rock using an accent would have been a worse decision.
@@chukit6654 exactly , like what accent would he have had to use ? Lmao so him speaking English shouldn’t have been an issue
k
Wade leased the X-Mansion while the team were off touring globally.😂
This film didn't let me down.
I've been a huge follower of C.C.Beck and Bill Parker ''Shazam/Captain Marvel'' Universe.
The film had great action, and can't wait till it comes out on streaming services.
Sike that's a good joke my nigga u should be a comedian
Dr strange is technically the rip off. Fate came first.
Exactly
They gave Jullian an unplugged mic like he the lil brother asking to play Mario with you 😂
Fr 😂😂😂
It’s better than hearing annoying ahh Billy
@@OldManYellsAtClouds of course you come to his defense. It’s like you’re paid to protect him in the comment section 😂
@@OGMillyMillz_ why you hatin on Billy man. Why does another grown mans presence upset you so much?
@@StoneyGamerNetwork him being annoying is hating. Tf? 😂
I think racelifting Carter Hall made sense, since a big part of Hawkman's backstory is he's been constantly reborn for millenia. And from his dialogue with Fate I was assuming this version had been reborn in his time with the JSA already, likely fighting as a white Hawkman in WW2.
Except he never brings up that up. He's the only JSA member who doesn't bring up his backstory. There's so much that isn't explained.
Black adam powers give him a certain level of knowledge and adaption u literally see in the movie when he turned normal black adam was talking egyptian again.
32:42 Love Martin's goblin cackle lol
I’m dead. They really made Hawkman, the more edgier DC hero have a hard stance against killing.
I know right. Hawkman is a savage motherfucka in the comics. But they couldn’t have two “killer” anti heroes in this movie I guess.
Yeah but you gotta separate the comics from live action. Live action is hardly ever gonna be just like the comics. Hell Hawkman is also white in the comics even though he is the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian.
@@mrbrainchild7637 Excatly! thats why having Hawkman in this movie be Black is one change that makes sense due to Anvient Egypt being a Black/African civilization
@@diandremosley True indeed. Although I do certainly enjoy the comic version too. Since he is a reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian, I know he isn't his original form. But yeah, the movie version is more accurate of his original form I bet.
@@diandremosley dude that’s obvious!
When the realization hit Martin, "it's the Falcon.."
Just got out the theater. I liked the film but I definitely understand why some critics had issues with it. The pacing was all over the place & there was a ton of exposition. But I love rock as teth & pierce as fate 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Can’t wait for a sequel.
I couldn't get past the fact he was the only person from his country with an American accent...it just kept pulling me out of the movie
@@Nvs76 chris prat effort levels
@@Nvs76 solomon wisdom, he changed and learned their language...that said the 3rd act was telegraphed but i see why critics would hate it. The movie is a beat em up and classic old day. Better than tons of the movies from dc lately like wonder woman and more fun on a basic level than batman. Cheese of a 00s movie. Marvel's 3rd phase has us a bit spoiled for really good stuff. Infinity war specifically and stuff.
@@Nvs76 Yea I wish he had the accent
You forgot about no politics or woke jokes into it right like She-Hulk or something in the way millions of times like the sad e-boy Twilight Man
Spiderman Stinger where Cap pulls a seat and says" Lets talk" lol
I met the lady who played Isis from the TV show. She was very nice at the comic cons.
Seriously, Warner Brothers didn't even try to make this different from Marvel.
And you see why they so full of themselves
They know it's gonna make money anyway
How can they? Comic book characters do comic book shit.
@@InfiniteFramesGaming It's not so much what the characters do but their overall image. In Black Adam, Hawkman is a Black guy with metal wings. In Avengers, Falcon is...a Black guy with metal wings. Stuff like that is what I'm talking about. Comparisons like that can be made throughout this entire movie.
Well it's kinda hard to do original superhero content nowadays because if you think about it, what hasn't been done already? Not trying to excuse cliches and unoriginal ideas but it's just not easy to come up with something "original" in such an oversaturated genre without being accused of ripping off of someone else's ideas. As someone who tries to write my own stories and create my own original characters, I know how challenging it can be. Not to mention some of these characters actually came before their marvel copycat counterparts like Dr.Fate, but I get where you're coming from though.
Tevin Campbell's "Can We Talk" should play in every mid/post credit scene that has 2 or more characters meeting up with someone going "Let's talk..." 😂
Let's talk
I think we should talk
I need to talk to you
It's about time we had a chat
I been waiting a long time for you. I think we need to talk
I think it's about time we had a talk
The works ain't (blah blah blah )as it seems. I think me and you should talk.
These new powers you have are scaring people. To put them to blah blah blah use.. I think we need to talk.
I think you should join my team..I think we should have a talk.
.. ALL THE CLICHÉS!!!
Shouldn't we have a LEAGUE of our own? 🙄
Maybe that would've been hilarious given how they just pushed Superman and Black Adam in a film together.
Mark 18:00. "Eyeball"! Hehe! In, "Superman Returns", his eye does get shot, to no avail though. But in, "Epic Movie", he freaks out and falls off of the roof, apparently forgetting that he can fly! 😅
I'm glad martin brought it up, because it always bugged me that the rock is playing Black Adam. Like yea he has the muscles but its not like there arent big buff Egyptian people out there. It felt like the studio said who is the most famous beige person that we can get. It works in animations and video games because most Voice actors can pull off an accent, here The Rock (shockingly) is just playing The Rock
Ok?... So apparently there are people in the thread completely misunderstanding what is being said. Yes Kahndaq is not a real place but it IS based on Ancient Egypt, that should seem simple enough. From environment to how its people look, Like legit and think why are the gods that comprise the name Shazam for him are all Egyptian ones.
They didn't even give him any of the basic features of Black Adam like his pointy ears...
the thing is the rock has been wanting to do this role for a long time now. It's basically been a passion project for him.
@@majorharris2335 That's perfectly fair, I just think Black Adam's fans may not be fully happy since this isn't the Rock's character it's someone who has been in comics for decades.
Martin is wrong though because they had ZERO intentions of making a Black Adam movie until The Rock spear headed it. Kahdaq also isn’t Egypt. And the Rock is a Black Man. Killmonger and Tchalla weren’t played by African actors either
Tbf not only has he already played an Egyptian character in a movie more than a decade ago but the character of Black Adam was never Egyptian to begin with so I never understood that complaint. The only actual Egyptian character is Hawkman and they race swapped him for the better.
Henchmen protip: Stop shooting at the armor, shoot at the unprotected face.
At least Marvel addressed the collateral damage aspect which led to Civil War and Hulk leaving the planet.
All of BVS was about accountability
@@Atem_in_the_streets Was it though? Batman was just paranoid as shit and wanted to fight
@@Atem_in_the_streets It really wasn’t…
wasn't that after man of steel?
@@luffylength Ok, I thought I was the only one who thought that. It started with accountability then lost track and ended with even more collateral damage.
Movie was awesome. I lol hard at Rock’s face superimposed on another body during flashbacks.
I think all the negative reviews prepared me for the worst and it ending up being a lot better than I thought it would be.
One of the problems is the main antagonist is under developed. The boy can be a little annoying but not that much. Too many flashback scenes. There were good things about the movie. The good out ways the bad.
I had the misfortune of watching a single positive review before going to the cinema. Definitely wouldn't have been so harsh on this movie if I was expecting it to be shit. Although maybe I would have just never watched it.
Like I always say, slap Disney or Marvel on it and the same things that get other movies panned they will revere. Just look at the absolute dog 💩 as far as dialogue, plot and more in movies like Age of Ultron, end game, Guardians and a few others. And honestly, I enjoyed them for what they were for the most part, because I just want to be entertained and see some of this stuff come to life on the big screen. However, nitpicking and judging these Disney Marvel movies by the same standards that they apparently have anybody else, there's plot holes, corny dialogue and all types of garbage that they should be ripped apart for.
@@biguy617 The main antagonist, the JSA, the overweight comedic brother, the editing, all of them undeveloped.
And then returned later in the movie 😂.
This movie is better than Thor Love and Thunder and yet the Rotten Tomatoes score for this movie is lower than Thor 4.
Rotten Tomatoes are bought critics from Disney don't believe me look it up for yourself.
@@Thespeedrap and yet they hated the Disney Pinocchio remake. They liked the Del Toro Pinocchio more.
"Imagine if Superman said why the F am I listening to you all" ..soo Superman from Snyder's nightmare timeline?🤔🤣
I was literally thinking the same thing
he was basically mind controlled by the darkseid with the anti life equation. He had no free will
I agree with what you said about the ending. I thought they came to a nice and satisfying climax... and then it kept going.
Ruined the movie just like the Ares fight in Wonder Woman
First time here. The old guy knows his stuff. Nice perspective.
The post credit scene with Henry Cavill was already put online. That’s all I cared to see if it happened, and I think that’s the main highlight people cared about with this movie
Exactly, I thought fan service and nostalgic was a bad thing, when Marvel did that For Spiderman No Way Home and brought back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield back as Spidermen, they was talking shit talking, about how Marvel needs to rely on cameos, and nostalgia and fan service. So I guess it's ok when DC does it but when Marvel does its bad
Thank u, They did that one lil aas cameo now the Rock is Jesus Christ, don't get me wrong it was cool to see Superman again but calm down with the DC is back
Yeah I just saw it. It's pretty mediocre
True
@Sir Christofer Braxton The difference is that the Rock won't let himself lose
But plot point of him adapting to English, was loosely explained, by Dr Fate when they said that he more he is exposed he learns culture and adapts to his surroundings…even then nod to the western shootout…but like you said it was lazily done. At the end of the day there is character growth.
they could have explained it easily by saying the wisdom of Zehuti allows him to speak all the languages he hears. Someone like Dr Fate would be seen as an authority on these things and thus it wouldn't have to be mentioned any longer.
So Marvel gets blamed for how bad DC movies are now 😂😂😂
Lmao
I love that you remembered the most famous stinger of them all, Vulture recruiting the Morbster himself!!! :D
Black Adam was better than love and thunder
Comic Book Fact Remember:
1. Dr Strange came out 20 years after Dr. Fate.
2. XMen came out in 1960. The JSA, their Jet and the Mansion came out in the 1940.
I think the movie also suffered from my issue with alot of super hero movies. Registering the base strength of your super people. For superman we had the scene of him pulling a boat, lifting up an apartment, etc. Flash we have him dodge bullets. I call it the trope of have a character pick up the car...we all know how heavy a car is...and based on that we know if the character did it easily, their strength is super human and thus we know or infer their durability. In the film hawkman took attacks from black adam...were supposed to fear black adam with the assumption he's too powerful...but if we have someone just as powerful durability wise...then what...of course, hawkman isn't and we have comparisons to superman's strength for adam but only cause we come in knowing that from comics. The movie universe is different. Spiderman is shown maxing out his strength picking up a collapsing building, overall I think movies need to do a better job of showing their hero's limits so we can get into the fights more unlike say a hulk hitting a normal human and them surviving, we need to show them being torn apart...
Thank you for this articulate description of power measurement. I hadn't thought about this element of superhero storytelling until you brought it up. But that is absolutely important to the investment in the vulnerability of a character both as heroes and villians.
Well they cant because think about if you had the big three of Justice league even just superman or even wonder woman thatbwouldve down played black adama power because he's an A level villain/anti hero so having another A level or multiple characters contain him would make you say well why the fuck is a character i gottavworry about. Think about it comic book dr fate wouldve bodied his ass real quick so they had to tone him down real quick
@@nichescenes
-yea they literally made no real explanation of nth metal like the fuck😂. No explanation of hawkman, fate, cyclone or atom smasher.
- They didnt explain the powers adam gains from each god
-didnt explain sabbac acronym or powers
-didnt explain the group that controlled kandaq
-didnt discuss what made the professor think to possibly see if the legends were real or why no one else attempted it
-no reference to why justice society worked with Amanda waller or how BA escaped that prison with no real high level security for a fuckin super human prison😂
-really back in the old times black adam and his nephew didnt do much he literally got his powers and went after the ling and killed people in the process
-showed superman for some dumbass reason rather than a correlation between BA and shazam which made way more sense
Honestly i could go on 😂
@@legendofawwsheet5883 ummmm how much time would it have taken to explain all this? Would've made the movie boring. The average movie viewer doesn't care. Only the comic fans care. And the comic fans already know all of these things.
@@ielohim2423
Straight facts all throughout my friend. How long of a damn movie do these people think that it should have been? As you easily would have had to have a damn near 4-Hour movie to get into every last bit then homie wants to try to cram in there. And maybe they would have the confidence and desire to do that if people these days didn't have the attention span of a goldfish. Not to mention that we can come up with a ton of questions for pretty much every damn comic book movie with that thinking.
The funny thing is it only seems to be applied to certain ones. Where were all the questions about why in Ant-Man and the WASP there was not one mention of what was going on with Thanos or whatever? The dude was plugged in with everything else with the Avengers and such, but he's running around fighting some corny ass lightweight. Seriously, not one news broadcast, Avengers Assemble message or anything while Thanos is running around tearing shit up and got big ass ships rolling in. The kind of thing they hadn't seen since the supposedly big, world threatening event with Loki. Oh yeah, they had to conveniently have it that way so they could spoon feed the sheep that absolutely stupid ass plot device where a random rat was the biggest hero out of all of the ones on screen LMAO.
How about how we had the Scarlet Witch as this supposedly terrifying reality warping, world conquering threat reduce to chasing doctor strange and a little girl through the sewers like a random zombie or something. All that power and things she can do and she decides to just power limp behind them, reaching out at the air and gnashing her teeth. I mean come on man 🙄 Really, it just annoys me when certain other comic book movies leave a bunch of explanations our , have all types of damn potholes littered throughout and everything else while people remain quiet as hell. I have no problem with all the questions and calling out, but it seems to never, EVER be consistent
The kid was alright the first 30 minutes, but I felt like he was a bit too extra 😆 it got to a point when he and black Adam met that he started to get on my dang nerves 🤣
So wait, Black Adam is X-Men and 300 combined!🤣😂😨😵💫. The jsa jet coming out the ball court, the teth Adam scream scene “noooooo” where the guy fell off the cliff like 300
I’m more interested in Shazam 2 than this movie. Black Adam could have been the villain for a Shazam movie, than have a standalone movie
Just on a character level, Shazam is infinitely more interesting and likable. A young kid who's forced to act like an adult superhero is a clever and different premise within the darker DC Universe, but a sulky muscle man who wants to avenge his inner darkness is every other hero/villain in the DC Universe.

Is the story interesting enough for spoilers to matter?
Black Adam becoming an antihero is very recent, like the 2010's.
And I wonder how they can make a Black Adam vs. Superman movie interesting consider how Dwayne Johnson refuses to have his characters lose fights or be villainous.
He lost against Vin Diesel in Fast Five.
Lost against Jason Statham in Furious 7.
@@luxurybuzz3681 Fr bruh lmao people really just reach for reasons to hate on anything DC does it’s crazy
There is an interesting twist before the climax regarding Black Adam's origin, the stuff we are told before wasn't the whole story.
Too bad it was spoiled by one of the trailers...

@@KingOfMadCows yes

Kinda , he was more of an antihero since he was 1 of the protagonists
You saw the real Superman in the movie Brightburn.
In eternals..the post credit scene blade tells black knight off screen we need to talk 😂😂
"Kicking the car" transmits the urgency of the moment for the character
The “Morbius did it too, the “let’s talk” convo” 😂😂😂😂 This took me out.
It's adaming time
You guys realize this is the 4th or 5th iteration of the JSA we've gotten so far? Yes, finally in a movie, but once again they're to just be side characters for another character. And I just checked IMDB, looks like they didn't spoiler the stinger...which everybody already knows about anyway by this point thanks to Dwayne Johnson blabbing. Also, Catwoman's cat in BTAS is named Isis. It's a beautiful name. Don't let assholes take everything good away.
I feel like The Rock shouldn’t have overhyped this movie cuz now ppl are going in w/ super high expectations and being disappointed. If you’re gonna say things like “this movie is going to change the course of the DCEU forever” you better deliver and they didn’t. Even Zalslav was like we’re focused on releasing quality while backing this movie hard and then it turns out middle of the road. Hopefully they can deliver something better in the future but idk. I’m very interested to see the box office though.
i don't have high expectations for super hero movies.....
@@caliginousmoira8565 I don’t blame you
I know nothing about Black Adam so my expectations are low.
Thank you sir you are right
@@caliginousmoira8565 right
If your looking for a Villainous Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson you guys should do a bad movie roast of Doom.
Mr. Terrific is in it, that's all I wanted. I love the JSA.
I don’t know what movie all these people saw but that movie was awesome let’s stop the cap please !!!
Exactly!
This is what happens when you hire the director of all those mediocre Liam Neeson action movies 😂😂😂
I'm sure he got paid very little lol
He has a special set of skills...
Did this movie even had a director 😄?
I think you’re completely wrong about the 3rd act. It was set up from the beginning of the movie with the king. The villain was in the making in the first 5 mins. Kings blood line is the villain like c’mon man. And Cgi wasn’t that bad. Definitely better cgi then morbius lol. Amanda Waller was great bigger universe linkage.
They spent more production time in the post credit scene than the 3rd act lol all the budget went to the cameo
Very unlikely, since the cameo was shot in September, when the rest of the movie was already finished 😂
I find it ironic that Hawkman has a no kill rule when he kills in the comics
Kind of “Hawkward” isn’t it?
Eh don’t be so hawkish lol 😂
I just saw the movie. I enjoyed it given the fact that dialogue was kind of weak but it’s fine. Justice society was there before the justice league in way before marvel was even made.
This was one of the best deep reviews of a movie ive seen. I’ll see the movie in 4 days, but this review was great. Im going in for a matinee imax.
Double Toasted is the best movie review channel on TH-cam. They have the perfect balance of genuine comedy and in depth, intellectual reviews of cinema as well. Also, Korey and Martin have been doing movie reviews since the 90’s and I’ve been watching them for years. Welcome aboard, highly recommend their back log of reviews!
Cool poses, people beating the fuck out of each other, story wasn't too deep, drawings are amazing but the fighting is cool? Did he describe a shonen manga? I'm watching it! ✊
The fact that they held the review embargo late just 3 days before the official release is very telling! When will The Rock finally work with some great directors & scripts and actually challenge himself like Bautista has for example?! Julian doesn't seem to get that spending 2/3 of your time critiquing something and the other 1/3 praising it doesn't equate to a 'High Full Price'!
@All In The Game I have been hearing from very credible reviewers that the movie is really good. As for Bautista what role has he done that was Oscar worthy? He basically plays the same type of role.
Because he has been successful doing things his way. Unfortunately his star power and great personality won't save this movie.
@@percybedford6266 if you believe that, then you're not paying attention to Bautista's performances. He's worked with Denis Villeneuve in Blade Runner 2049 and in Dune. He might've not been in the movie for long in Blade Runner but he definitely started the movie off really strong and set the tone. He's constantly working in different films and trying new things.
Rock chooses those movies, nobody forces him to do it.
@@percybedford6266 Let me guess the "very credible reviewers" you've heard from just happen to be the ones that agree with you all the time?!
Korey really danced around his review/rating - you could tell he didn’t like it, but didn’t wanna piss off The Rock
Exactly what I said. What is wrong with that guy wtf those screeners must be worth gold to him. Martin was the only one who said his peace and stood on it
@@babytoshiro7014 still better than Julian. “Yeah I didn’t like the script or the special effects so I guess, 9/10” 😆
What Baby Toshiro said, that's Korey's M.O. to be safe and inoffensive so he doesn't step on any toes making his overall "review" pretty milquetoast in the end. Martin is the opposite, he keeps it real and tells it like it is which is why I respect his opinion more than Korey's.
Lol about Julian though.
@@Dan82677 you can tell he didn’t want to piss DC/the Rock/someone specific off here cuz he KEPT saying these criticisms go for both Marvel and DC…. Even when it was something Marvel objectively does well/better lol
@@Lillian.Gao. I agree with you, but again that's a consistent trait Korey does in nearly all his movie "reviews".

Really? Is that line really in the film? So I imagine the dialogue is shit.
@@blackbatman2710 It was a joke, but I hear the dialogue isn't much better.
The number of movies that Black Adam borrowed plot points from:
1) The terminator
2) Captain America Cilvil War
3) Ant man
4) X-men
5) Gradians of the Galaxy
6) Mummy 1 and 2
7) Army of the dead
8) Hancock
9) Tomb Raider
10) The mummy
11) Deadpool
12) Constantine
Probably more I just can’t remember…
It’s like watching a snippet of scenes from those movies and someone from first year film class put In together with duct tape trying to make a proper movie…it’s so unoriginal to the point it’s insulting to those other much better movies…
Lmao I'm with Martin on the accent thing. Him speaking English bothered me less because one of the powers of SHAZAM is wisdom so it covers language.
I mean, I get the comparisons, BUT, Doctor Fate has been around since the 40s, Doctor Strande didn't show up till the 60s, so if anyone is copying anyone ...
But I loved seeing Doctor Fate in live action, big fan of the character from the comics.
If you're thinking about having a break from super hero movies, don't see a super hero movie.
Preach!!
They did do a lets talk in MCU Spiderman Homecoming, when scorpion was approaching vulture and trying to form a Sinister Six while in the prison yard
The accent issue can be explained by him using one of the shazam powers. Shazam has the wisdom of solomon...aka...he's super smart and adapts to stuff like language almost instantly after hearing it a few times. Sure the movie didnt even attempt to show dont tell this but that's the excuse. I wish he had one sec to say a word and see some magic around his voice and he learned their language but ehh.
Iirc he only talked in his home language with subtitles when he lost his powers.
@@ATakTakTak Ok, so i guess he did show don't tell. I think other things needed explanation...like why does their computer have readings on a specific demonic entity returning...like it alerts you that this specific demon is 100 miles away??? Fun movie just tons must have been cut out. That said I guess you could say the helmet mixed with computer figures it out...Or they just know that reading signature etc. Dont agree with the 3 act coming out of no where but do agree that the movie felt done and they continued it...its the jaring end cut. But the whole movie screamed the crown meant alot and had to have a pay off. I think the unnecessary in fighting slowed things down and made hawkman unlikeable.
I don't understand how having the wisdom of Solomon makes him have an American accent. Easy fix for movie writer: Make him not speak until he see the western movie in Isis house, then show he got his accent from there.
@@Murf181Not saying it's a perfect excuse but I think you can assume he gains knowledge over the most common language or one of them hence english. He definitely used the power of solomon to know their language thou...I think the movie cut it again due to them thinking ehh no one cares...My best bet would be for them to do what they did in the genie movie (thousands years of longing or whatever) where he touches the tv and slowly learns their language or have some speak in the other language then they speak then he has magic appear over his mouth and he fixes till he gets the main accent...but then that confuses people who dont know shazam gets powers from zeus hercules etc and just think he's superman without lazer eyes or freeze breath. Overall, i think they had no way to win so they chose the easy out...ignore it.
@@ATakTakTak So i guess the movie did explain it but in show dont tell which IMO has gotten really confused with people who think its always best but get confused when it's done...show dont tell works for simple things we already know...from other films. AKA man loses children to a big bad...he crunches his teeth and looks fierce...we know he'll seek revenge...so telling us I WANT REVENNNNG doesnt work but having a character speak english and they are from another planet...we need to be told how...that one part where he speaks in his language without the powers wasn't enough for many since as you see, some got confused.
Sarah Shahi’s Character's name is not Isis; the name of her character is Adrianna Tomaz
Isis is her super hero name.
Kinda weird they had the same stinger for superpets as black Adam lol.it is funny how a lot of them do end with the let’s talk .
Tbh tho Dr.Fate is Dr.Strange on steroids😂😂
Also - he's not a real doctor! I don't see an MD or PhD after his name, lol. Harley Quinn calls him on it once, doesn't she? (Dr. Harley Quinn, I should say.)
just saw it & it was a silly action packed generic superhero film where The Rock plays himself trying to act like Batista as Drax in parts. Even tho its from recent comics Still not used to BA bein an Antihero. Some Action scenes were fun & that post credits stinger was hype
This movie went to being a anti hero film for two reasons. One being the rock not wanting to be a villain because he thinks it will hurt his brand which is untrue because as an actor, you should want to try different roles and expand your range to be better,it's a reason why he made his own movie production so he can have a good grip on control and make sure damn near every character he plays is a hero or at best the anti hero instead of a villain.
Two,Hollywood for some reason in general is very fixated on making every villain a sympathetic anti hero, cruella,joker,venom, Thanos,killmonger, Scarlett witch and etc for some reason. It's very rare a bit that you see a villain just being a villain especially with no explanation and just for the simple fact of they are crazy and like chaos.
Mark 26:47. As I told my best friend, afterwards, too many people associate, Egypt, with the Middle East, probably because of their wars with Middle Eastern rivals, and forget that it is an, African nation. So to me it was refreshing to see a, Black man playing, "Carter Hall", who in the comics that I read, was a reincarnated Egyptian Prince. But in those comics from the era of Segregation, he was White! Then eventually, "Hawkman", is a policeman from, Planet Thanagar, and is still White.
In "DC's Legends of Tomorrow", he and his wife are back to being reincarnated Egyptian Royalty. But they looked White to me, though some said they looked, Brown. 🤔
But anyway, this is my favorite version of, "Hawkman", now! 👍
This is the DCEU, the Dwayne Comic Extended Universe
I'm excited for it, seeing it tonight ⚡
Lol that end reminded me of eternals "You sure you're ready for that?" ~Blade
The wisdom of Zehuti allowed Teth Adam to speak English while in his powered form. Notice that he couldn't speak English when he reverted back to his normal self?
Korey showed great restraint in not mentioning a particular comic shown at 12:43... 🤣
Why wouldn't he mention a Black Adam co- 😮 oh.
@@Atomsk0192 what do you mean?
@@Goku22411 It's 'Jam-Packed...' !!
Mark 37:55. This, "JSA", has wealth! In, "DC's Stargirl", she's the leader of a group of teenagers that inherited the team from mostly dead adults.
Out of all the interviews it was almost exclusively focused on The Rock didn’t see too many with the director like you would with other movies. The rock needs to let a director direct not hire a yes man.
He has too much of an ego!
I'm so confused by Julian giving it a high full price after everything said before that.
Black Adam could speak English because of the power of SHAZAM. He couldn't speak English when in normal human mode.
I swear some people are so fake. Exactly, they did that one lil ass cameo and brought back Henry Cavil as Superman, now the Rock is Jesus Christ, don't get me wrong it was cool to see Superman again but calm down with the DC is back and the Rock is The GOAT
Makes me wonder where all these fans were when Man of Steel came out, because it didn't do very well at the box office.
Fax. I just saw this movie. This shit was hella mid
@@SuperMurray2009I'm not hating im just saying. My thing is people was just booing and talking shit about the mane saying he sucks as Black Adam because he don't got no hair, oh that's not comic book accurate. They say he's a bad actor, and now all of a sudden he brings Henry Cavil back as Superman, now they wanna say the Rock is The GOAT, now yall wanna kiss his ass🤣. Yall love trying to call out other people like me saying we fake fans, especially if u dont read comic books, but yall really be the fake ones
Umm this movie was FUN AS HELL…Rock while not a villain was brutal and remains The Peoples champ…I don’t know what critics are lookin for but I liked the story and the actors and it was better than Thor 4
How do you not know about Isis it use to come on back in the day along with Shazam on Saturday's I remember loving that show then Shazam would do a guest appearance to hype up the show so let's see if she'll get her powers in this movie.
Mark 30:47. I didn't experience, "drag" or "lag"! It was too fast-paced! 🤔 (I didn't doze off once!)
Double toasted is bias af when it comes to DC. They literally said here in their review that they liked it better than love and thunder and proceeded to give it a lower rating. They do this everytime there's a DC movie. They don't review, they shit talk until they get to the rate, but with marvel they go in like they just had the best time, even if the movie is bad. They gave love and thunder a high matinee and dr strange a high full price and both those movies were garbage. Can't trust their superhero reviews.
Facts! I'm going back and rewatching their review of TLAT. I saw it and halfway through I was like "this is trash." I'll edit this afterwards.
Okay, so here's my edit. I double down on your point of DT being biased AF! The points that were brought up about the kid saying stuff to Black Adam, the non-use of Atom Smasher and Tornado, and the use of the hand symbol were nowhere near as bad as, in Thor: LAT, the non-use of Gorr, the overuse of Guns and Roses music (which I didn't mind but it was too much), and those stupid screaming goats. PLUS, the waste of Valkyrie's story, and the climax was so weak that it felt like Taika Waititi gave up halfway through. The Thor kids!? C'mon man! Dr. Strange was better than Thor, but not by much.
This movie was decent. Wasn’t perfect and obviously not fleshed out enough with the characters to really care about then but the plot wasn’t terrible and the action was great. For what it was. Solid 7 for me. They have to work on their paving and their dialogue tho
They were so dead set on marketing the "Heroes don't kill people; well, I do." line they seemingly made the whole movie about it.
