This was nothing but a monument to Dwayne's massive roided up ego. No one wants PG13 Black Adam. The Rock is waaaaaayyyyyyy to old. Nothing will come from this bloated, repetitive, bad cgi wannabe popcorn flick that utterly fails. You think the new heard of WB is gonna do another one? Think again. He's there "trim the fat" & reboot ALL of the DCEU. IOW cheap stars & flicks and as many eyeballs on them as possible...creativity & stars will take a backseat. I'd make a joke here that Mark Wahlberg will be the next Superman & battle Rock Adam, but they can't afford Wahlberg once let alone Johnson twice.

I put this Hulu flick on at 1 in the afternoon while doing laundry and packing for an upcoming work trip. All I could think of while watching thus movie was Instagram "stories". I had just watched Shiloh Hernandez (even his name is Instagrammable!) in a movie on Tubi with the actress from Gone Girl and I Care A Lot. Like this, it too was a bad flick but that actress (I don't know her name, she never became an A-lister) is so great she elevates her films if given enough creative license to do her thing. I cannot believe how difficult it is to try and come up with six hundred characters to fill the gap. Cringe & thirsty.

Just. Wow. I'm still shook. It took several days to watch this. If you can't/don't "disconnect" from the internet fir the roughly 10 hours this spans, then just watch Jeremy Renner or My Friend Dahmer & you'll get that part of the story. Taken in as a full 10 hours this became, for me, less than just about Jeffrey & more of an epic composition of stories of different people all of whom became caught up in the ensuing cat-5 this story would become. It becomes a commentary of humans & humanity. Of guilt vs shame vs apathy vs blame. Of religion and how humans view religion, regardless of affiliation, and use it in their own individual way to gain their perspective of their own world...of which, like it or mot, we are all a part of. My grand takeaway from this was rather...restrained? Dim? Hopeful? That time only ever moves forward as it creates and then erases mountains and that we are really just "dust in the wind" as time moves on & that good & well-intentioned people get tossed by the wayside in humanity's ever survival-of-the-fittest. I'm going to go hug my dog and cat now after a long, hot shower. If this doesn't sweep every major award category come award season, and not just for Peters (I cannot fathom how one falls into such a role so completely without carrying some if that funk with you for life) but the also the brilliant Niecy Nash then there truly is no redemption for us.
