Dwayne Johnson's overdue superhero epic, while bolstered by smart turns from Pierce Brosnan and Aldis Hodge, could have been called One Long Fight: The Movie

While this relationship provides the movie with some of its few genuine heartfelt moments, it gets somewhat shortchanged by all the sulking and repetitive “murder is bad” arguments Adam finds himself in. Even though it’s revealed that the character’s default scowl is well earned, given the trauma of his distant past, this creative choice comes at the cost of putting Johnson in arguably his hardest to like role.

is a movie that would have you believe that the aforementioned country’s population would chant “champion” at the guy who helped demolish most of their homes and buildings. It is a movie where such in-world story logic concerns like that take up more of your investment than most of the characters and spectacle do. If there is to be more Black Adam in the DC Universe’s future , then here’s hoping that both the character and the actor playing him get a story worthy of their considerable strengths.
