Black Adam (2022)
6/10
In the top 5 DCEU movies
20 November 2022
But to be fair, that doesn't really make it a fantastic movie. I'd heard/read a lot about Black Adam and I really love Dwayne Johnson when he is playing a decent character.

There are some good points to this film, pierce Brosnan was excellent, but he normally is, Hawkman was good as well, and Dwayne did play the role he was given quite well.

What I didn't really like about the film had more to to with points that that actors could do very little about, The CGI was very clunky in bits, it seemed to jump through bits and most of the fights appeared to be very jerky as if the editor took out a couple of frames every second, and then thought to himself that no one would notice.

There was predictably your paint by numbers superhero movie, feisty mother - check, kid who gets into trouble - check but redeems himself to save the day- check, new hero learning the ropes - check, possible romance between 2 characters down the line - check, I could go on and on, but I got bored writing it, so I'm sure so cannot be bothered to read it.

To sum it up, it's good for the DCEU, and meh in the MCU.

A lot of people were disappointed with the latest Thor offering, and this movie was a little better than that but it wasn't a patch on Shang-chi,

In case you wondered in my humble opinion the other 4 best DCEU movies were (in order)

Aquaman The suicide squad (and it gave us the peacemaker series, which I loved) Wonder Woman The Batman Black Adam

Over n out.
