Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam Review

Black Adam, however, focuses on him being more of an anti-hero. It is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra .

The residents of a modernized Kahndaq have been oppressed for 27 years by a cabal of violent imperialist mercenaries 

Despite having been napping for five millennia, he ain’t happy, and proceeds to slaughter a mess of Intergang goons, in slow motion

Sarcasm is something Adam picks up from Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), a wry wizard and poor man’s Doctor Strange who is a member of something called the Justice Society

Now that Dwayne Johnson is more like it. It’s hard to suppress the guy’s charm, so casting him in “Black Adam” seems counterintuitive.

Make no mistake: “Black Adam” proceeds with predictable action sequences, tiresome fight scenes and the now-requisite sacrifice of a major character.
