My expectations for Black Adam were rather low. It was either going to be awful or dumb fun. Obviously, it was awful. I'm surprised this film is getting mixed reception, and not just flat-out bad reception. The story was bland, the CGI was terrible, and the dialogue was painfully generic. Dwayne Johnson delivered a very dull performance. Majority of his lines were (as I stated earlier) generic. The third act is nothing but loud, brain-frying, CGI nonsense. Apparently this film was supposed to be rated R, honestly it would have benefited significantly. We've seen before that DC has no quarrels with making they're films R. The story would have been way more interesting if the main "antagonists" were just the JLA. Who by the way were incredibly underused and underdeveloped. It could have made for a unique narrative that was told from a perspective that we don't usually see in comic-book films.
