60 of 235 · most liked firstAmazed at a studio that released The Flash and Black Adam saying with a straight face that a movie is unreleaseable and must be shelved as a tax write off.
unlabelledView post →Unpopular opinion: Black Adam is a terrific twist on the superhero movie that kinda plays like Terminator 2 plus Superman. The sequence that begins with Adam coming to life in the cave & wasting dozens of mercenaries and ends with "Well, we'll never see HIM again" is exceptional action filmmaking.
unlabelledView post →The whole concept of the Black Adam movie was fucking wild. The Rock was like “I will play a gritty antiheroic supervillain on two conditions: one, I never lose, and two, I never do anything wrong” and DC was like “Yeah, sounds good to us, bro. 👍”
unlabelledView post →Yeah, the guy with "full creative control" over who all is put in *just so happens* to prioritize Black Adam as a movie tie-in. Get real.
unlabelledView post →Why am I watching BLACK ADAM This is stunningly terrible I mean, I don't need a superhero movie to be ALL banter and punches, but they had an interesting setup here and they filled in all the gaps with room-temperature oatmeal The dialogue, the choices, the fight scenes, everything
unlabelledView post →Invasive thought while watching Superman: “This is like if Black Adam was a good movie”
unlabelledView post →The worst thing about the Black Adam movie being so bad & the character becoming a joke because of Dwayne Johnson is that Black Adam had some of the best stories of the 2000s, everything from JSA to 52 and Dark Age are just so perfect
unlabelledView post →I feel that after saying with a straight face that Black Adam and The Flash were releasable you should never be allowed to shelve a movie again.
unlabelledView post →Black Adam is not an enjoyable movie but it is enjoyable to watch Pierce Brosnan enjoy making Black Adam.
unlabelledView post →Everyday we learn of a new way in which Black Adam changed the hierarchy of power. It pushed The Rock into doing A24 movies.
unlabelledView post →This man has been giving off big divorced guy energy for a while now, except instead of an actual marriage it seems to be about the Black Adam movie failing.
unlabelledView post →I take back everything I’ve said for the last decade, Black Adam is the worst DCU film ever made
unlabelledView post →We have 2 Shazam movies AND a Black Adam movie and in my opinion none of them came even close to touching his This is still so wonderful
unlabelledView post →I am a highly educated in film and tv and I was an entertainment writer for several years and I frequently forget that Black Adam is not the goat from the VVitch.
unlabelledView post →Didn't go to see BLACK ADAM in the cinema because the trailers seemed to suggest the film was essentially "What if Shazam, but arsehole?" Watching on Netflix and it transpires the film is essentially "What if Shazam, but arsehole?" Good call, past me.
unlabelledView post →Less bad but much more stupid are the actors who are too dumb or too full of themselves to not realize how shit the movie/their performance is. An infamous example is The Rock in the Black Adam movie, who's clearly convinced he's doing something Oscar-worthy there.
unlabelledView post →You ever think about how The Rock produced The Super-Pets movie and ended it by introducing his personal OC dog for Black Adam named Anubis (also voiced by The Rock), with Black Adam showing up to confront Superman? Bro was running the Black Adam propaganda on every single front. It's crazy.
unlabelledView post →I’m getting replies about some movie called BLACK ADAM. Was that one of hai Netflix things?
unlabelledView post →It’s great how Dwayne played Krypto in the animated movie, now Krypto is helping Superman. The way Dwayne helped everyone realize “these DC movies are terrible” by being Black Adam.
unlabelledView post →Doctor Fate commission. I didn’t like the Black Adam movie but loved seeing this character in the film.
unlabelledView post →I think The Rock's contractual invincibility needs to be incorporated into powerscaling arguments. I want to hear shit like "Goku cannot defeat Black Adam (forme de movie) because as soon as he tries to land a punch the universe snaps his lungs to preserve the terms of the contract"
unlabelledView post →Lol remember BLACK ADAM? I swear, The Rock cratering a major film franchise and maybe his theatrical film career all because he believed he was too important to play second fiddle to a teenager and had to be the center of everything is some modern day "Greek play about the dangers of hubris" shit.
unlabelledView post →The last time we saw Superman in a movie, he showed up at the end of BLACK ADAM being hired as a black ops asset to go and kill the upstart middle-eastern Dwayne Johnson, which is ironically the role Superman would play in a second Trump administration
unlabelledView post →So first he tried to take over DC and center the whole damn universe around Black Adam. When that failed, he then runs to Disney and convinces them to remake a film thats not even a decade old. And now he was entirely willing to use AI deepfakes? Fuck right off Dwayne.
unlabelledView post →Flashback Friday - Rock of Eternity This week’s flashback features Black Adam in this movie-inspired pinup pose. 😉 (Full Pack: blitzturner.gumroad.com/l/mvqduk)
unlabelledView post →Iron Man and Black Adam used to be at the same level of popularity. C-list. Until the RDJ movie moved Iron Man into the A-list. Any superhero fan older than 30 remembers when most people didn't really care about Iron Man. Until RDJ, he was never obscure, but never a big deal.
unlabelledView post →The best parts of Black Adam were Pierce Brosnan and Aldis Hodge. I don’t know why they gave a movie to a minor a Captain Marvel villain.
unlabelledView post →Going out of its way to note the Black Adam movie *particularly* did not change the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is savage.
unlabelledView post →The Black Adam movie felt like self insert DC fanfic. “He’s edgy and dark and dangerous but also never does anything worse than Iron Man does on any given Tuesday.” Woah, let’s not get too bold there, cowboy.
unlabelledView post →The movie did really well and made back twice it's budget; and unlike Eternals and Black Adam, this movie was met with pretty much universal positive reviews (grifters not withstanding).
unlabelledView post →But there was never going to be a Superman movie where Black Adam is INTRODUCED as THE MAIN VILLAIN. So he needed to present himself to his corporate overlords as The Cure the DCU Needs, and attempted to leverage his clout as a surefire box office draw to do this in his own hit movie.
unlabelledView post →That Black Adam movie had so much potential. Visually some of the best stuff from superhero movies, but man that writing was shit to the bone…
unlabelledView post →Kinda hard to be nostalgic for a film that came out barely a decade ago, and a sequel that came out just last year. I still think Dwayne Johnson pushed for this because his last three films tanked HARD (Black Adam, Red Zone, and The Smashing Machine), and is desperate for a hit.
unlabelledView post →My biggest problem with the movie Black Adam is that it is a world in which Superman exists, and other Kryptonians have shown up, and the bad guys, on seeing a guy who flies, moves super fast, ignores being hit by bullets, do not think "oh fuck a kryptonian!"
unlabelledView post →#FebCharacterCover DAY 12: BLACK ADAM BLACK ADAM #1 (2022) Throwback Variant Cover It's a shame that horrible movie gave Adam such bad vibes, because I miss when he was taken seriously as a badass threat! Art by Cully Hamner #ComicSky
unlabelledView post →Underrated character. Geoff Johns... is what he is, but he was cooking with her imo. The version in the Black Adam movie was a in-name-and-powers-only take, unfortunately. She's just not Cyclone without being an excitable motormouth Theatre Kid.
unlabelledView post →I'd straight up say "Make a JSA movie." It annoyed me greatly about Black Adam they ended up being sidelined to punks in Black Adam in favor of Dwayne Johnson's ego.
unlabelledView post →You wanna know how long Black Adam was in development?Dwayne Johnson was announced to play him in 2008. And we didn't get that movie until 2022
unlabelledView post →I would not recommend the case of flu (possibly Covid) that I’ve had for the past few days. I would also not recommend the movie Black Adam, which I watched while dealing with a case of flu (possibly Covid).
unlabelledView post →Reminder that there's a Blue Beetle movie coming out next month since Warner Brothers blew their marketing budget on The Flash and Black Adam I guess.
unlabelledView post →Keir Starmer's favourite film is Black Adam (2022)
unlabelledView post →*Cracks-knuckles* Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Black Adam The Amazing Spider-Man 2 LOTS of films scored by Brian Tyler, most recently The Mario Galaxy Movie The Last Airbender The Twilight Saga: New Moon X-Men: The Last Stand Rebel Moon Just to name a few.
unlabelledView post →We're thrilled to welcome composer Kevin Riepl to the team! Kevin is currently creating a beautifully unique heavy metal score for the film. His has scored many DC Animated films as well as contributions to MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 7 and BLACK ADAM. We’re incredibly excited to have him on board!
unlabelledView post →2 fantastic films and Black Adam
unlabelledView post →I haven't even seen Black Adam, but a Doctor Fate movie starring Pierce Brosnan? Shut up and take my money.
unlabelledView post →My favorite Rock movie moment is when they had to CGI a “weaker” version of him for Black Adam and the result was still Miami Hurricanes-level buff.
unlabelledView post →It was very much the Rock pushing the character as HIS thing, which is why his own personal marketing was...like that. I have never seen him so directly push a movie like that before or sense. It really was his baby, and he thought he could be the RDJ for Black Adam.
unlabelledView post →After finals, we have 4-5 classes until the semester ends. I use the classes to give my Japanese students a break and we watch a film. However, it's not a complete break. They have to answer the questions I've prepared and write an essay on what we watched that day. Currently showing: Black Adam!
unlabelledView post →The Rock being the kind of maniac that can't just do something and love it, but NEEDS to be The #1 Top Dog is so funny. He treats every aspect of life like it's a Tournament Arc with a title. Thus Black Adam, thus The Final Boss/People's Championship, thus The Smashing Machine & the Scorsese film.
unlabelledView post →A scene that sums up what's wrong with this film is Black Adam vs Hawkman. The mere fact Hawkman couldn't hit Black Adam because Dwayne Johnson has a stupid contract that he can't be beaten or get hurt. It's a one sided fight, it's not even fun.
unlabelledView post →So. Just watched Black Adam. It was actually a fun movie, surprisingly thoughtful and touching in places, and it dug deep into the lore. #superhero #ttrpg
unlabelledView post →The Two Worst Movie Tropes That Ruin Great Superhero Fights | Reel Talk 🎞️ Breaking down an otherwise great Shazam and Black Adam fight from a DC animated movie, and exposing the two lazy storytelling tropes that ruin it completely. #Shazam #BlackAdam #DCComics #AnimatedMovies #MovieTropes #ReelTalk
unlabelledView post →Watching Black Adam as it's now available on Amazon Prime. I know people have problems with the film, but any superhero film with Hawkman and Atom Smasher is good with me. I'm just going to enjoy a fun, wacky superhero film. It had so much potential to develop the Justice Society.
unlabelledView post →The Black Adam movie is like a bunch of MCU movies got blended up with a couple Snyderverse movies?
unlabelledView post →Decided to watch Black Adam while on the flight home and while it was a god awful film, it did let my sleep deprived and delirious brain come up with this silly thing.
unlabelledView post →Yup. You'd think he'd learn after Black Adam--trying to shove his ass into an unannounced Superman film with him and Henry Cavil, and all it did was put the final nail in the coffice of the DCEU. His ego had him playing the same archtype for 20 years. And its boring at this point.
unlabelledView post →People seem to forget Dwayne got that live action Moana movie green-lit with the quickness after Black Adam bombed. People like to dunk on Morbius and Madam Web but the ripple effects of Black Adam are so much funnier. I can’t think of a modern movie that sent the actor spiraling as quickly.
unlabelledView post →Remember: This movie only exists because Dwayne Johnson needed to save face after Black Adam flopped.
unlabelledView post →Attention: If you are an actor who has been diagnosed with Franchise Delusion, your unfounded optimism will be painfully rebuked. Franchise Delusions is a tragic optimism linked to being cast in the Black Adam movie.
unlabelledView post →What an indictment of Hollywood that CARRY-ON popped up on Netflix w/ zero fanfare while Jaume Collet-Serra's last film, the risible BLACK ADAM, got a huge theatrical release. At least Collet-Serra gets a chance here to show off the fat-free, beautifully staged action filmmaking he's so gifted at.
