Review
Black Adam has everything that a superhero movie has and because of the same, it lacks a wow factor. Whatever was presented in Black Adam is something that has all the routine, cliched formulas that stay flat and never go out of the box. We are introduced to a new team of superheroes in Black Adam, named the Justice Society. But even here, all these heroes were overshadowed or under-explored due to the focus on black adam.
Dwayne Johnson and the action sequences are the saving factors of this movie. Dwayne fits perfectly in the shoes of Black Adam and he looks unbeatable. This leads to a perfect post-credit scene that takes the whole movie to a different level of high!
Conclusion
Another superhero movie from DC. One-time watch!
