In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam was bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Black Adam. Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and Black Adam has gone from man to myth to legend. Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone.
I find it impossible to not watch DC movies skeptically now. LOL! This was a really good movie for like the first 3/4 of it. The background origins of Black Adam were good. The Rock was great in the part. The new characters that were introduced were all good. And then right when I actually said this is much better than I expected they went and ended it the same exact absurd way that all DC movies end. Fire everywhere. An oversized satan related villain and lots of massive slow motion jumping and action. Like why in the blue hell is that a thing. Still though - this movie did much better than any previous DC movies in terms of connecting things to it throughout the universe but like do they really know what they want to do with the DC Universe? Like I think that is the massive problem.
I would still recommend people checking this out. It is a better than average watch and I mean . . . . . . its The Rock. Why would anyone not watch him?
