Popular Post Cat Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just saw it, and really had a great time. I got to see my dream fulfilled; the JSA on the big-screen. Dr Fate and Hawkman both stole the show for me. Considering we went to a 10:30am showing on a Monday we weren't expecting many other people to be there, but there were about 20 others present. Right behind us were about a dozen mentally disabled people with their carers. They had a great time, and seemed to love the film. Their enthusiasm was contagious. A few of them absolutely LOVED Hawkman, which was great to see. Not a movie I'll watch when I'm feeling philosophical, but it's a fun time of 'watch things go smashie-smashie.' ashsaytr, Larryw7, silverseeker and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodey Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I went with my friend and his 10 year old son. We thought it was a blast, and his son loved it. I agree, Hawkman and Dr. Fate stole the show for us. Cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Quote Garcia recently took to his Instagram to share a collection of Black Adam behind-the-scenes photos from the hit movie, including Centineo clad in his Atom Smasher uniform while standing on a staircase. Included in the post is a caption seemingly confirming Atom Smasher's DCU future, with Garcia excited for audiences to learn more of the character.

The "China can save any flop" narrative is dead and gone. Furthermore, Dwayne has never been able to solo carry a movie, and this particular movie should have never been made. WB would have been wise to trust their initial instincts about ever making it at all. There was never going to be a lucrative or successful sub-franchise coming from the puny $365MM worldwide grossing Shazam. -J.

To ignore the critic Emmerich departure backlash would be dismissing quite a strong reaction influence. Critics calling this the worst movie ever made is wild exaggeration. If you took time out to go see it - in a theater with other moviegoers - you would see what I mean. Not a deep story. But enough to support all the action that makes it fun. bentbryan, theCapraAegagrus and Cat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I was going to skip it altogether but I'll catch it there based on your and a couple other people's comments. I saw don't worry darling is already on there. -J.

There are worse things out there, but there are also way more better things that deserve actual monetary support. MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like basic plots that lead to a group of 'good guys' beating up 'bad guys', then you'll probably enjoy Black Adam a lot. It has some great fight choreography and VFX (though some of the VFX are bad at times). If you want something more convoluted, something perhaps with a real meaning behind character motivations other than Good vs Evil, then you'll probably be somewhat bored.
