There is some really excellent world building in this film - some of the best we’ve seen from DC. Comic book films that have momentum, emotion and a strong layered mythology are always the most entertaining to me. #BlackAdam also left me wanting more, which is what you want imo pic.twitter.com/wJUXAtuEdI— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) October 13, 2022 ##
#BlackAdam is built on some epic, non-stop action. It made me want a sequel with a smoother story immediately.When it moves, it’s a straight shot of adrenaline. The characters are dope, especially Teth-Adam and Doctor Fate. It’s a bad-ass film. pic.twitter.com/XeMFgcB3OG— BD (@BrandonDavisBD) October 13, 2022 ##
I have seen #BlackAdam! This was one of my most anticipated films of the year, and it did not disappoint. The action sequences were incredible, especially the ones with the JSA. The Rock crushes it as Black Adam. The film’s end left me with high hopes for the future of the DCEU. pic.twitter.com/vd0Zy35lWT— Dorian Parks (@DorianParksnRec) October 13, 2022 ##
#BlackAdam is a game-changer!! This is the #DCComics movie I’ve been waiting for & it did not disappoint. @TheRock is electrifyingly brutal as Black Adam! This is what I wanted Black Adam to be. The action in the film is non-stop & seeing the #JSA on the big screen was a thrill! pic.twitter.com/NigTxsfmd7— Joseph Deckelmeier #BlackLivesMatter (@Joelluminerdi) October 13, 2022 ##
Sadly, #BlackAdam isn’t the success WB needed.It’s filled with clunky exposition, has a forgettable villain, and feels like it’s just going through the motions.Dr. Fate was easily the best part, but Atom Smasher falls flat.There’s some fun, but overall, it’s forgettable. pic.twitter.com/vYk52vBuDr— Russ Milheim (@RussMilheim) October 13, 2022 ##
.@TheRock is terrific in #BlackAdam, which includes a hearty amount of real world touchstones (most affecting is it reinforces the need for heroes in bleak times). Director Juame Collet-Serra lays out building blocks for a larger, grand universe. Action is lively & BIG in scale. pic.twitter.com/pDBkSHRDrI— My Scary Name *is* Courtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) October 13, 2022 ##
#BlackAdam is the most fun I've had watching a DC film in theaters since BvS. The film is huge in scale, epic & that post credits Scene which we all know what it is got the biggest cheer since Endgame imo. The JSA are all fantastic & the film sets up a bright DCEU future. Love It pic.twitter.com/bbsi8tJPgH— SuperheroesNow (@SuperheroesNow) October 13, 2022 ##
#BlackAdam struggles to find its footing at first but once the Justice Society enters it becomes more fun to watch. Dwayne Johnson’s anti-hero presents an intriguing new dynamic to the DCEU. Solid visual effects. Weak villain. Post-credits scene got the biggest reaction of all. pic.twitter.com/qbVmWkYLjv— Matt Neglia @NYFF (@NextBestPicture) October 13, 2022 ##
BOOM! #BlackAdam @TheRock delivers us one of the most ADRENALINE FUELLED adventures of the year! This 300 style ACTION SPECTACLE feels like a hit for DC. Some side characters & a shaky script prevent this from changing the hierarchy of the DCEU. Pierce Brosnan is a scene stealer! pic.twitter.com/TWFUpBcEKs— Shahbaz 🎃 The Movie Podcast (@shayhbaz) October 13, 2022 ##
#BlackAdam electrifies the millions & millions of DC fans! @TheRock lays the smackdown while adding empathy that makes the character one of the DCEU's most intriguing anti-heroes. A fast paced, action packed ride that delivers on its promise of spectacle & boy, that mid-credit. pic.twitter.com/3yCTr2QlM3— David Gonzalez 🔛 #NYFF60 (@ReelTalkInc) October 13, 2022 ##
BLACK ADAM is an action-packed crowd pleaser, @TheRock is at the top of his game.Doctor Fate and Hawkman are standouts and the JSA fleshes out the DC universe.The surprise everyone’s been waiting for definitely delivers, and it will get fans excited for the future. #BlackAdam— Sheraz Farooqi (@SherazFarooqi_) October 13, 2022 ##
#BlackAdam is a solid crowd-pleaser. Lots of spectacle and humor while also actually embracing the DCEU and setting up something very exciting for its future. It doesn’t pull many surprises and feels very familiar at times, but it’s definitely enjoyable popcorn entertainment. pic.twitter.com/grh2W3BMvM— Gregg Katzman (@GreggKatzman) October 13, 2022 ##
