As usual, I don’t go by what critics or the people say; I like to form my own opinion when it comes to movies. I also happen to love The Rock, and I appreciate that he values the ideas of the fans more than he does the critics.

I’ve heard through the grapevine that Black Adam wasn’t all that great, but I beg to differ. I think the movie was actually really cool, and I enjoyed the way Dwayne Johnson portrayed Black Adam. I had no idea what this movie was about going into it, and I didn’t even know he was a Shazam. I went in completely unaware and with zero expectations.

I thought some of the plot was a bit annoying. Like why was the Justice Society hunting this guy when he’s out here fighting a whole country of mercenaries to free his people? That part of the plot, though it made for some interesting fight and laughter scenes, kind of irritated me a bit.

Also, I don’t understand why all these superheroes obey and take orders from Waller. I find her approach a little puzzling. I mean, she’s a regular human, and she’s got all these superpowered people in check and under control. That just seems odd to me. They could probably stop her pretty easily, so why do they take orders from her? Why is Superman backing her up?

As I mentioned, Black Adam is a Shazam and he was awakened to help some people who were in a tough situation at the moment. But there’s way more to it! I don’t want to drop any spoilers, but I will say this was a pretty good movie, and I’m excited to see where it goes. The ending was absolutely incredible, and if you haven’t been spoiled yet, you’ll soon see what I mean! Pun intended!

Go check this movie out; you won’t regret it. Forget the critics and let the people speak!
