      I watched this with some buds recently not expecting much of it but I was shocked to find it was pretty good.  Best Superhero movie ever? No, but a good 7.5 out of 10.  It’s a very different type of story which was believable and relatable.  If you are ultra woke sensitive you might notice a quip or too that bugs you but it’s worth dealing with it because it’s pretty good.  The Rock did a great job.  Really the only thing that stands out as something I did not like was the character that could control the wind, sort of like a storm knockoff.  Her part in the story felt artificially interjected. But outside of that good movie, worth a watch.

      I found it redundant and frankly boring. I downloaded it, and it took me three times to get through it all. I kept pausing it and going to do other things, I came back the next day once and continued where I left off. It was like the Transformers movies with the stupid humor and the dumb bumbling character, which this movie had two of. Yes, The Rock does a good job when he is in things, but this movie just should not have been made. They have erased this now from continuity anyway, Calvin is gone as Superman for example. The next three DC movies will be pointless too, because after that it’s a restart.

        Guess we agree to disagree.  I thought it was good (not great) and worth watching. I enjoyed the different kind of story but I was unaware of the character before this so take that for what it might mean.

          Couldn’t agree more on that being the only part i didn’t really like

          Though personally i don’t think it has anything to do with the character, just that her acting was nothing great

           

          I’ll leave my mini-review i posted on another thread when i watched the movie :)

          I have the same fashion sense as Cyclone 🤣🤣🤣

          Watched Black Adam, and damn was it a fun and crazy adrenaline-rush of a ride!

          Great performances from Dwayne Johnson, Pierce Brosnan, and Aldis Hodge ⚡⏳🦅

          Noah Centineo was a pleasent surprise, i’d only ever seen him in sappy romcom clips, but he proved he can be tons of fun with Atom Smasher

          And Quintessa Swindell… ehh, she kinda sucked, she’s pretty expressionless thruout most of the movie, especially during fight scenes, which should be some emotionally intense shit for the characters, it just feels off to see her with the same non-expression pasted on her face every time she launches an attack while the others are screaming or gritting their teeth, you can see the struggle, the effort, the “i will never give up”, and then there’s Cyclone just going thru the motions, i mean not that there’s need for screaming, the opening battle Black Adam is very calm and pretty stone faced, but Dwayen Johnson manages to make him so expressive just with the subtlety in his eyes, Quintessa Swindell’s eyes look dead in comparison

          Favorite part of the movie was the final battle, that final blow to the bad guy, pure epicness
