Black Adam

the character Black Adam eight years  after it was announced that The Rock was  going to be Black Adam I thought this  got mothballed and it was like oh this  is still coming out that's cool so you  know in the movie Shazam how the wizard  was like oh there was this one other one  oopsie Daisy this is that Wizards  champion before Shazam played by The  Rock and now after being gone for  thousands of years he's back the JSA  come in they're like hey we don't we  don't kill people look you got the rock  shooting lightning from his fingertips  and killing bad guys you know this is  kind of it's what we're clocking on for  and right off the gate that's what  carries the movie The Rock as Black Adam  is just having so much fun being black  Adam at cinemacon Dwayne Johnson was  talking about what they were going for  they were like we kind of wanted to do a  Dirty Harry thing rather than just make  him the bad guy I thought they pulled  that off well and as someone who was  thinking why didn't they just bring in  the rock as Black Adam and Shazam too  why is Shazam two doing something  different would have made a perfect time  to drop the Rock in there and have him  fight I'm actually glad they didn't do  that I'm glad we we got  this but he's toasting douchebags the  entire movie so you're like I mean I'm  not against him there are some things in  this movie that you've seen in fact  other movies I was gonna say other  movies but other DC EU movies as well  like you know he's back after thousands  of years so it's kind of a fish out of  water scenario kind of like they did in  Wonder Woman only with killing more  people but they're using the fish out of  water in tandem with the killing people  and that's not really socially  acceptable thing it's just doing it well  what can I say I laugh at that also like  what they did with Black Adam and the  citizens of condoc in here there was a  real sense of the citizens being like  well I know you don't like them but  well he just got [ __ ] done so they could  have gone farther with that than they  did in the movie but it'd appreciate it  now this movie even from the trailers  you might have had a concern it was a  concern I had going into the movie which  was this movie looks pretty packed looks  like there's a lot going on it's a JSA  movie it's a Black Adam movie Dr Fates  in it that's his own element I feel like  a whole movie could be dedicated to him  so I'm gonna count him as a third thing  the movie's doing and if you have those  fears going into this movie this movie  will not make those fears go away yeah  it's a jam-packed movie they're doing a  lot sometimes to its detriment but in  general I see why they use the JSA  because it's like okay who can go up  against Black Adam if you don't want  Black Adam to be the villain Justice  League would Eclipse Black Adam in his  own movie Suicide Squad there's no one  there that can go Toe to Toe with Black  Adam physically plus Suicide Squad to be  like you kill people too awesome with on  with the Mayhem let's just bloodbath  this place look at that you got to bring  in dollar store Justice League who won't  Eclipse Black Adam him in his own movie  but can still go toe-to-toe with him and  is able to be like no we don't kill  people that's not how Heroes do it  unless you're the Justice League  they've killed people so in large part  the JSA does work in this movie but you  have to know who these characters are  they give you the lowdown on a couple of  them but they don't tell you jack [ __ ]  about Hawkman I will say there was some  noticeable CGI as well when it came to  the JSA especially Hawkman I mean dude  has wings that spread out it's like a  whole thing just a lot more CGI with him  now as much as I like the JSA and Black  Adam butting heads in this movie The  Thing it poses a problem with is well  what do we do for the last act so you  just have to make  think of the fears what fears do you  have in a comic book movie you ever  think to yourself oh man we're past that  phase right we're past that phase of  super CGI nothing boss that Sprouts out  of nowhere that well we're not past it  yet I guess yeah it's exactly the last  act CGI [ __ ] you might be afraid of  for this movie it's in here and the  villain I didn't give two shits about I  didn't cares like when the last act  happens the Fun's over the fun of this  movie isn't oh are they gonna stop the  villain who came out of nowhere for the  end fight of the movie the fun of this  movie is Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam  wiping out baddies with no remorse  whatsoever but still doing it with some  sense of moral code but the JSA being  like that's not how we do it and  conflict ensues there that's where the  movie's in its Goldilocks zone in the  end is the movie perfect no is it  polished absolutely not is it fun [ __ ]  yeah the movie started out a little  shaky it's doing that Exposition dump  with the voiceover thing not that that's  always bad this felt like they had a  three hour cut of the film and they were  like we cannot have this be three hours  so we're gonna go ahead and take that  first hour trim it down to 15 minutes do  voice over  that'll be the setup like the movie's  book ended with [ __ ] but in the  middle there there's a sweet spot some  really fun stuff and to its core there's  actually a compelling family story that  is here and what I felt was a fulfilling  Arc revolving around the character Black  Adam I thought Black Adam was a fun time  no alcohol required all right so Black  Adam have you seen it what did you think  about it whatever you thought comment  below let me know and as always if you  like what you've seen here and you want  to see
