I think Arnold Vosloo could’ve played Black Adam back in the day. He voiced him in the animated film “Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam.

When Darkseid comes he will be the DC villian we are waiting for.

Great movie with non stop action! DC fans go watch this on the big screen! Also, the rock confirmed on twitter Dr Fate is coming back! Hawkman, and Dr Fate also did the damn thing!

I enjoyed the movie. I give it a 4 out 5. The DCEU Joker just does cameos. Zod was a good villian and I'm waiting for Deathstroke to make a full return.

No lie though Tone I did like how Darkseid looked when Superman threw Steppenwolf's head through the portal in Justice League. That ish was dope.

I loved Black Adam! I definitely want to see more Black Adam and Hawkman on screen! Black Adam has the wisdom of Zehuti (contrast to Shazam with the Wisdom of Soloman), which grants him the ability to speak any language. Although, I wished they leaned more into speaking Teth Adam's original tongue as it would've made his past more relevant. Black Adam's imprisonment didn't feel like 5,000 years to him, so he wouldn't have spoken English as quickly or fluently as he did in the film without at first acknowledging his powers from Zehuti. Again, the writing is one of the complaints from the film, but overall the action is so good and fun that I enjoyed the characters enough to give it a pass. I agree about the DC villains. If the DCEU can give us more memorable villains, their films will be much better. It's sad knowing General Zod is still the best overall villain they have to date. We'll care even more about the protagonists if the antagonists weren't just throwaway, cook-cutter bad guys. That's why I'm hoping for a real Black Adam heel turn. It'll improve the DCEU overall if they do it right. PSA: If you enjoy watching people getting killed, I suggest watching Terrifier 2. If you're into Grindhouse Cinema, this is more up that alley and as an independent film, I think it's great for the Horror/Halloween fans! New Sub!

The way it’s portrayed in film, Black Adam had no idea what Gods gave him his powers. His son did, sure since the Solomon actually spoke with him but Black Adam had no such moments. From his perspective, he spoke his tongue at first. Realized he could understand the people around him and just instinctively changed dialects. At least this is my understanding of what i saw

He referenced that he didn't have mirrors back then so yeah...having him not asking about the tall buildings and the cars is funny but as a Marvel fan I did love this Black Adam movie!!!!

Definitely Riddler from the Batman. Honestly, I did want more of an explanation of Dr. Fate and Hawkman's abilities. I know more about them as a comics fan but I don't think it would be fair to moviegoers who were just introduced to them. I do think that it would be good for them to have their own movies. Like, tell us more about the helmet and Nth metal with their own origin stories.

What about General Zod? General Zod outside of Joker was one of DC's best villains in the movies. And Darkseid was perfect in my opinion. He had one or two lines in the entire movie but those two lines put the fear of God in you. Besides Darkseid never comes out the gate destroying ish. He always builds his plans and readys the Armada.

Outside of Joker, General Zod Michael Shannon in Man of Steel. He killed that role in my opinion.

On point and funny, like always!

Dark Side is an awesome villain! He was shown in a Snyder cut. They just didn't show enough of him. General Zod is a great villain also but I like the actor who played him in the original Superman. You also have Gorilla Grodd, Reverse Flash, Scare Crow, Red Hood and Lobo.. All of these would make great Villains for DCU if cast well and given enough shine to tell their story. The difference between MCU and DCU when it comes to villains, MCU gives equal amounts of time to tell the antagonist story as much as they do the hero. (With the exception of the Dark Knight series) DC rarely spends time on the villain give the reasoning, backstory how they became who they are. Just like in Black Adam, not much time or little time was spent on the villain. He just appeared. But there's plenty of villains DC can use.

This might be the fastest review I've seen Tony post 😄 The movie wasn't bad, but it's not life changing either. It could definitely use more meat and potatoes, and less CGI. I have been sour on the Rock as Black Adam for years and, after seeing the film, he didn't change my mind. I just don't see him as Adam, and the American accent bothers me as much as I knew it always would. His performance leaves a lot to be desired as he's completely one-note. But he kick enough ass to make me enjoy seeing the character on the big screen. The villain was lame. He's like a dollar store, CGI Hellboy. At least they didn't spend a lot of time on him. The best DCEU villain is still General Zod, with Orm from Aquaman right behind him. I actually liked Patrick Wilson quite a bit in that movie.

@@josephwilliams8001 nah, I think for this movie its ok. He's not meant to be anything other than an one-note villain that our protagonist(s) are supposed to overcome. That's it. The problem is the DCEU is filled with these same lame, "cookie-cutter" villains that don't really do or mean anything. We can take him out the movie and it wouldn't necessarily make the movie any worse. General Zod was pretty meh. Not because of the performance, but because he also felt a bit like the typical, run of the mill villain. HOWEVER, at least we understood the character's motivations and Zod made a noticeable impact on Superman. He had to choose whether to adhere to his moral code and don't kill or let Zod kill an innocent mom and child. That same theme is present in Black Adam, but we already know Adam is not opposed to killing so killing Sabbac wasn't as cathartic. Although it was cool to see how BA finished him off. DCEU can't keep treading the same ground with their villains.

Loving the movie reviews Tony! Keep ‘em coming.

Just saw the film. Not to do the marvel world comparison, but I thought eterniun has a similar significance to Darhaq that vibranium does in Wakanda. It's used as a source of power in the colonizers of Darhaq's technology. And that end credits scene worth the stick around

Honestly loved the movie and when me and the wife talked about it afterwards, we barely even thought of the villian, the rock made it completely worth our time! He killed the roll and the justice society were a solid addition!

That movie was GOOD. I was so surprised! 🥰

I enjoyed Black Adam. Black Adam is portrayed truly as an antihero and someone who is amazing to watch and completely frightening at the same time. Dwayne Johnson is perfectly cast in the role. I like Hawkman-the hall monitor had slick weaponry and he could, and will, rumble. Doctor Fate has always been cool to me and he was cool in the movie. Viola Davis is Amanda Waller-perfect choice for that character. The non-superhuman heroes are likable and resourceful. We get a kid sidekick is tough, smart and not a nuisance. In fact, the boy himself could have been chosen to be Shazam's champion. The villain is what he needed to be-despicable and a threat. DC's villains tend be malevolent and destructive without personality. I actually like Steppenwolf but I understand why people did not like him. And it should have been Kalibak, not Steppenwolf. The best DC villains since the Nolan trilogy began are The Riddler and General Zod.

Whats up Tony! I loved the review because you made some great observations on the movie. I kinda understand why they didnt get into character development with this movie and I was hoping to share it with yall. I feel like DC is playing from so far behind to Marvel that they NEEDED this movie to be a change in pace. Marvel (and some dc) overdo character development so its become boring throughout most of the movie/shows. I feel like with black adam they decided to do a pure action movie (with an amazing end credit) but the character development will come with the next movies. I'm sure there will be spinoffs for hawkman and Dr. Fate so they got time to milk it. If they made a bad black adam movie then I think DC would fall off completely. The movie was 2 hours long so they did have to do a lot in a short amount of time. But didnt they have to do like 5 different cuts to it in order for it to be a decent run time and for it to be PG13? So the directors cut will give more depth. Anyways, Wonder woman already did the whole getting the superhero from the past to get reacclimated into todays society. That storyline is played out and would of taken away from how aggressive and powerful black adam is. Him being confused when he looked into the mirror was proof enough. Nonetheless, best DC movie ever. Especially when it comes to showcasing how powerful the character is. What do yall think?

Mr. Baker you nailed it on pretty much all of the review, but especially the issue of why ppl still leave before all credits are over. Marvel established this for me YEARS ago. Now if I’m in theater I wait, no matter what type of movie. If I’m streaming at home, I fast forward to make sure. Period.

As someone who was much more dug into the MCU, I found myself comparing and contrasting the movie from start to finish. As such, I really, REALLY wish I was given more opportunity to understand the Justice Society and the relationship between Hawkman and Dr. Fate. Character development goes a long way towards connecting the audience to the players. When it's missing, the movie just hits different - in a bad way. As for the CGI... remember The Scorpion King? Yeah... say less! It's clear that most of the budget was spent elsewhere - maybe DJ's paycheck? I'm sure that I'm not alone in saying that today's audiences are more sophisticated when it comes to these VFX. If they can get us to believe dinosaurs and Golem, is it STILL that hard to get this right??? Overall, the movie was passable but, with flaws that will keep me from adding it to my collection. Great review, Mr. Baker! I'd give it three #SkibittyPaps out of 5!

I think he spoke modern english because he had the wisdom of Zehuti as Black Adam.... remember, when he reverted to Teth Adam, he was speaking the ancient language where there were subtitles.

the hoodie cape made the fit look hard AF, it was ok nothing different from every other DC vanilla super hero movie

Dr. Fate seeing the future works in this movie because he's like 'I can see the future and it's tiring and depressing. I only do it when I need to, and I'm just looking forward to retiring.' So he's not flying around the field predicting every move like Dr. Strange.
