Movie Log 🍿 - Black Adam, 2022 - ★★

I was really disappointed with Black Adam. While the cast was strong, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the lead role, the plot was predictable and the action was underwhelming.

One of the biggest problems with the film was the shallow character development. Black Adam’s motivations and actions felt one-dimensional and the supporting characters were not given much depth either. As a result, it was difficult to become invested in the story or the characters.

The action scenes, which are typically a highlight of superhero films, were also a letdown. They were poorly choreographed and relied too heavily on special effects, which took away from the impact of the fights.

Additionally, the film’s themes of redemption and the consequences of power were poorly executed. These themes were introduced early on, but they were not explored in a meaningful way and were ultimately overshadowed by the shallow plot and action.

Overall, Black Adam falls flat as a superhero film. The cast is strong, but the shallow plot and unimpressive action make it hard to recommend. If you’re a fan of the genre, there are plenty of better options out there.
