Review of Black Adam

Black Adam (2022)
5/10
Man, DC just can't get it together.
25 March 2023
I'm not much of a DC comics connoisseur, so I did not know Black Adam before the movie. What a great character DC has with him. Irresistibly strong, but tortured and full of rage he affects on his enemies and those of his people. And rightfully so. A kind of at least morally not-that-superior Superman. Or maybe Superman with the moral compass of Batman. I really liked that. I also liked the character of Dr. Fate who has a lot of potential. The Hawkman and Atomsmasher however, mighty weak sauce.

But then, DC strikes again and ruins it real good. Weak story, just too much and in part wholly unnecessary cgi that wasn't even all that good. Then a surprising lot of stupid creative decisions that I will not spread out here to avoid spoiling the story. I have to say, I'm a little mad how bad DC handles it's stuff. It's a waste.
