The First Reactions to Dwayne Johnson's BLACK ADAM Are in and Here's What People Are Saying
Dwayne Johnson has been hyping up DC’s Black Adam movie every chance he gets. This is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year! The question is, does it live up to the hype? Well, a bunch of critics recently had the opportunity to watch the movie and many of them have shared their reactions on social media.
It’s a mixed bag of thoughts from those who saw the film. While some enjoyed the hell out of it, some people had problems with it. For the most part, though, it seems like the consensus is that it’s a fun and entertaining action movie. That’s pretty much what I was expecting from the film.
Read through the reactions below and let us know what you think!
Here’s the synopsis:
In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam was bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Black Adam. Nearly 5,000 years have passed and Black Adam has gone from man, to myth, to legend. Now released, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone.
Black Adam stars Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge (Underground, The Invisible Man), who plays Hawkman in the film; Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Charlie's Angels) as Atom Smasher; Quintessa Swindell (Trinkets, Euphoria) as Cyclone; and Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye, Mamma Mia!) as Doctor Fate, as well as Sarah Shahi (Person of Interest, The L Word), Marwan Kenzari (The Old Guard, Aladdin), and Uli Latukefu (Young Rock), who have been cast in unspecified roles.
Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise) is directing Black Adam, from the most recent script, written by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani. Adam Sztykiel wrote the previous draft.
Black Adam is set to hit theaters on October 21st, 2022.
