June 8, 20223 yr Kinda surprised The Rock went for an unknown DC character vs holding out for a Marvel role. Who was the character in the cocoon that the gold people were talking about at the end of GotG 2? I thought his name was Adam and that’s what this movie was going to be.

I don't have much faith in DC films these days. But I do have faith that the Rock will make any moving entertaining. It'll be interesting to see how they end this.
June 9, 20223 yr He will have to fight Supes and Captain Marvel(Shazam!) at some point. I guess delaying all that gives him a movie or two to be the anti hero.

September 9, 20223 yr Trailer during the NFL game tonight was solid. I mean, it's DC, so it will probably suck, but maybe not? I welcome a change of pace from being beaten over the head with Marvel sequels.

October 16, 20223 yr Steven Seagal: I just read the greatest script I've ever read in my life! Intern: Who wrote it? SS: I did!
October 19, 20223 yr Well the reviews look good... Variety - ‘Black Adam’ Draws Negative Reviews: Dwayne Johnson’s DC Film Is ‘Repetitive’ and ‘Anti-Entertaining’ Indie Wire - ‘Black Adam’ Review: Dwayne Johnson’s Superhero Debut Is Another Catastrophe for DC’s Film Universe
October 19, 20223 yr I'll check it out because the kids love action movies, and @ FLIX, I can eat and drink beer. It looks kind of meh, so we'll see.
October 21, 20223 yr Watched it yesterday at a work event. I enjoyed it but it’s no masterpiece. Lots of slow motion punches, if you’re into that shit.
October 27, 20223 yr Whole movie was contrived and barely made sense. Some decent action I guess. A few of the characters were likeable on their own, but the story was pretty dumb.

November 1, 20223 yr Saw it imax with the kids. They had the volume cranked to 11 the whole time and it was nonstop explosions anyway. I fell asleep 3 times. Being an old, those might be related. My body just checked out from sensory overload.

November 7, 20223 yr saw it yesterday with the fam. most opinions were 'it was ok, not as good as Marvel' . The extent of my Black Adam/Shazam knowledge is from the '80s cartoon so really did not know much going in. I like the Marvel movies because of all the inside connections and we know the chars from all the movies over the years. you obviously don't get that with DC (at least from themovies). anyway, not great, not bad. very typical action flick.
November 7, 20223 yr Going to see this tonight. Gotta get as much value out of my Alamo Season Pass as possible. It can't be worse than Wonder Woman 2.
November 8, 20223 yr This was okay. Seemed much lower budget than I would’ve expected from a DC movie but I guess they didn’t have a lot of confidence in a minor character. I liked the concept of the “hero” not being black or white. Cyclone and Blaster are lame AF. Man, Hawkeye was my favorite from the Justice League Saturday morning cartoon but he sure doesn’t translate to live action.

My old ass was sore for days from the sonic bludgeoning.
November 22, 20223 yr Was much better than I expected. Better than most of the recent Marvel stuff (haven't seen BPWF yet). I actually thought Cyclone looked pretty damn cool using her powers. Actress was nice eye candy too.
December 18, 20223 yr 10 hours ago, demos said: Maybe because they’ve kicked cavill to the curb? Well, they're rebooting the whole DCU. The Rock and almost all of the previous actors have no place there. No need for him to follow them.
December 18, 20223 yr I cant believe this thing got filmed without all the actors laughing their ass off the entire time. I watched it 3/4ths drunk and even that didnt help make this any better.... what a steaming pile of dogshit. it was like the whole script was written by a drunken 14 year old fanboy
December 18, 20223 yr Well, they're rebooting the whole DCU. The Rock and almost all of the previous actors have no place there. No need for him to follow them.Is there a worse run franchise than DCU?
December 18, 20223 yr 16 minutes ago, demos said: Is there a worse run franchise than DCU? Currently, no. If Gunn and Safran have their shit together and reboot the DCU with a vision like Feige did/has with Marvel, it could be good. It will have to be a wait and see, we probably won't have that answer for several years.

Sounded like they were making a movie version of smallville.

December 19, 20223 yr I think the Rock is charismatic enough that he was able to make it not horrible. Edited December 19, 20223 yr by kevwun
