Black Adam is not a bad film; it is entertaining and interesting. Black Adam is also not a DC Universe game changer; it is not original in any way. The film Black Adam has a storyline we have seen too many times; there are way too many settings that are ripped directly from other DCU\MCU films. You should consider this production of Black Adam as a one-off; a dream of Dwayne Johnson that was finally cobbled together into reality, but expect the future iterations of Black Adam as well as the DCU to be portrayed completely different. Black Adam is worthy of a visit to the theater, during 'cheap ticket night' of course, but don't invest too much interest in this iteration of Teth-Adam.
The first time Director is really a Stunt Coordinator, the screenplay written by a first time in the industry author and another that keeps writing the same thing over and over and over..... What really killed this film, let ALL the air out of the balloon - Dave Franco. I grow so weary of these hacks that land gigs because they are related to someone who actually is talented or they know someone who knows someone who knows someone....... Jamie Foxx needed a quick payday and it's a travesty we don't have more of Snoop Dogg. Don't pay to watch this, as it would be more entertaining watching It's A Wonderful Life backwards.
$200 million for a 5 out of 10 rated film that drew only $249,462 at the box office before streaming. Yeah, I think the Russo brothers once again blow smoke up our **** trying to deliver another non-superhero blockbuster. The Gray Man is formula film on steroids, complete with unrealistic action without the need of computer-generated everything, dialogue that is no where near real world interactive speech and Chris Evans who looks like Hitler during his barbershop quartet days. I can count on my watch the minutes left before Disney sends over the acquisition papers to Netflix. You will watch The Gray Man when you have watched all others available and you're tired of watching reruns.
