FAVORITE QUOTES<\/b>
\nHawkman:<\/b> \u201cIn this world, there are heroes and there are villains. Heroes don\u2019t kill people!\u201d<\/p>\n

Black-Adam:<\/b> \u201cWell, I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Black-Adam:<\/b> \u201cMy powers are not a gift. They\u2019re a curse, born out of rage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hawkman:<\/b> \u201cWe\u2019re here to negotiate your peaceful surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n

Black-Adam:<\/b> \u201cI\u2019m not peaceful. Nor do I surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/b><\/p>\n

There was a lot of hype surrounding Black Adam<\/b>. The movie stars arguably the most prominent Hollywood star, Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson. I came into this movie with a lot of optimism but unfortunately, it did not live up to the massive hype.<\/p>\n

Nothing about \u201cBlack Adam<\/b>\u201d is so bad that the movie should be ignored, but there is also nothing\u2014aside from the allure of Dwayne Johnson\u2014that makes it worth rushing out to see.<\/p>\n

The movie starts off with an interesting backstory but fails to really build on it, relying heavily on some amazing CGI-filled action sequences. The movie goes on to casually introduce us to a large group of superheroes, The Justice Society, as though we\u2019ve known them forever: Kent Nelson, a.k.a. Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan); Carter Hall, a.k.a. Hawkman (Aldis Hodge); Albert Rothstein, a.k.a. Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo); Maxine Hunkel, a.k.a. Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell). The last two mentioned left me scratching my head as to why they were even included. The movie presupposes that the viewers are familiar with the characters instead of taking a bit of time to properly introduce them.<\/p>\n

Another issue I had with the movie was the supposed villain. He had no character development , and nobody watching the movie would even has the slightest of thought that he passed any great threat to Black Adam. Every hero needs a great villain, Black Adam has not found his yet.<\/p>\n

Black Adam<\/b> doesn\u2019t pioneer any new territory that hasn\u2019t already been covered by other superhero movies. However, it is still a strong summer blockbuster supported by Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnsons consistently outstanding work.<\/p>\n
