Black Adam (DC Movie)
- Thread starter Kyo
- Start date
I hope they are faithful to the source material. He a Ruthless super powered dictator that will give Superman a run for his money.
LoL - your not entirely wrong. Justice League Society is in BA I think. Hawkman, Dr Fate and Atom Smasher.
He's basically an evil Superman with no moral restrictions or limits. If we are going by the comics. (Copy of Venom antihero imo).

If the movie portrays him anything like the source material. Expect him to be as brutal and violent as Homelander
Really ? Thanks for explaining what a spoiler is. Still puzzled why you would even want to post that when the movie not even released?? You then point out it's over the net anyway so your helping the cause by sharing it here??
The usual rule seems to apply, low 'critic' score means the movie is pretty decent.
Just back from it today and it was good. It's not End game Level but it was no where near as bad as some of the reviews made out.
Good news though this movie made Walter Hamada (DC movies CEO who canned Snyderverse) got sidelined and overruled by David Zaslav WB(CEO) because he wouldn't allow what Dwayne wanted. Let's just say Dwayne got his way and now that's opened the door for what most of the fans have been waiting for.

From the comics BA is the first champion of the Wizards. So each his powers is the arconym of Shazam. Cap Marvel (Shazam) has the exact same powers. So despite the council being diluted, his powers aren't any less is my understanding.
Difference is BA doesn't hold back and has no issues killing which is what got him removed as the champion.

Imo it's better than any Phase 4 Marvel TV series if that helps you. One gripe I got though the original BA cut was R-rated and WB changes to PG-13.
Would not mind watching the original cut with full fat violence.

True, you will be happy for the cut scene alone.That's not a particularly high bar

You thought it was dire? I thought it wasnt that bad but that's just me

Still 90% on RT user reviews.
Made 250 million so far, in like 10 days.
Shazam, in 2019 made 366 million across it's entire release frame.
It's already outgrossed Suicide Squad and WW 1984, albeit they had covid to deal with.
The Rock is built like a superhero, so all joking aside, who doesn't want to watch him don a cape! If I find some down time I may even watch it again at the cinema, even though its only a 7/10 for me!
I think some people forget how popular and a nice guy Dwayne Johnson is! He has a great work ethic and puts passion into everything he does. He deserves this success and I'm sure he will double down on the DCEU now. By all accounts he applied the pressure to get Henry Cavill back as Superman. Normally I would say that's hyperbole, but in this case I believe it.
/fanboy mode off.
Edit: My only regret is he chose DCEU over MCU. But i think that was the right move as I doubt he would get as much input in Marvel as he (claims) he had in his DC character.

Think I am the few that watched it twice. So glad Walter Hameda is out and James Gunn stepping into the role and heading in the direction "making movies what the fans want" and "listening to fans" as quoted from Dwayne. Reckon JG will finish GotG 3 before he fully into DCU.

I hope they bring back Synder but i know he did not part in good terms with DC, so will most likely decline even if they offered more oppertinutues to him.
