Review of Black Adam

Black Adam (2022)
8/10
Among the best superhero movies, despite unfair bad ratings
7 May 2024
I am very positively surprised by Black Adam, particularly considering the unfair bad ratings. It is among the best superhero movies, amusing and colorful, with well balanced dark humor, drama and adventure. The very beginning was already very promising, with a visually nice Kahndaq (exciting Egypt-like atmosphere), and the film kept that high level until the end. The story is simple and unpretensious, fitting typically the superhero genre, but is not trivial. Characters are quite interesting, both in their development and in their visual. Only Atom Smasher and Cyclone are in a much lower level, but not enough to damage general outcome. I did like Black Adam, Dr. Fate, Hawkman, Adrianna Tomaz, Amon, Hurut, Ishmael, and Sabbac! It is a movie in which producers had full control of what they were doing all the time.
