Black Adam
The movie starts with a quick brief summary of the character. What happened to him and where we are on the current timeline. Then towards the middle we get the rest of the story follow by a small plot twits. It was a great movie but in general, it feels this movie would have been better if it was divided into 2 movies because at some parts it felt rushed.
Now, the CGI looked a bit weird. Specially when they used it for movement and superpowers, it lack some quality. But even that CGI helped the movie atmosphere. It made it look more creepy by the way they moved or how they used their strength. So it didn't look bad but in other moments it looked way better. One example was the fight scenes that looked amazing and another example was when Dr. Fate multiply itself to fight which looked great.
The plot was simple but good enough to understand the story. The cast was amazing. Every character fit perfectly with their actor. Dwayne Johnson as BlackAdam, Pierce Brosnan Doctor Fate, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman and Sarah Sahi, Quintessa Swindell, Noah Centineo, Bodhi Sabongui were a great surprise.
About the movie, it was pretty good. They established their plot, added a little plot twist, had plenty of action scenes and it looked visually beautiful. They presented new characters without stopping the rhythm of the movie. We learned just enough to understand each character. Also, they connected the DC Universe smoothly. Nothing was forced and everything had a reason.
Still not sure why some people didn't like it. I can't seem to find the balance. Some people really like it while others really hate it. It is not as great as some people claimed but it is definitely not bad at all. It is a great DC Movie. Also, based on how bad the new DC films have been, I believe this to be one if not the best DC film so far. Good movies I remember Joker, Wonder Woman 1, Aquaman 1, Shazam and just ok were Justice League (Snyder Cut) and TheBatman.
Overall it was a great movie that I would definitely recommend it. Even to the point of watching it again to enjoy it further. Maybe what some fans didn't like was that they soften BlackAdam. Based on some versions where he is a Villain or others he is an AntiVillain it was definitely soften a bit. But he still kept his personality and was still cruel to villains. I feel that was ok because if they need him to make collaborations they will need him to be more of a team player to help. I believe he is still an AntiVillain but not so sure how they will combine him with Shazam. Even do both Shazam and BlackAdam were rated PG-13, I feel BlackAdam should have been rated R and Shazam rated just PG. But even BlackAdam had it's small comedy moments so it is possible combine them in a good way.
I feel this was a Great movie and just what DC films needed to give it a fresh perspective for future DC films. Most of the movie was just great and what fans needed. But maybe the CGI could have been polished a bit. The plot could have been elaborated just a little further on certain parts of the main plot and on certain characters plot so it wouldn't have felt rushed at parts. Also, the chosen Heroes could have been others. The actors were great but the rookie characters Atom and Tornado didn't really fit for a serious threat. Maybe a Manhunter with a Green Arrow could have been better. It was not about strength but experience and matureness. So the movie was great in fact it was so great that it felt they hold back on some moments where they could have made an even greater impact fort he DC fans community. But it is understandable because they put so much effort and love on this movie to give the fans something good. I will rate this movie a 8.0.
Rating: 8.0
