Black Adam (2022)
Exciting, Violent, and Absolutely Worth Watching
"Black Adam" is a superhero movie based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The movie stars Dwayne Johnson as the titular character and also features Viola Davis, Aldis Hodge, and Noah Centineo in supporting roles. Black Adam is the story of Teth-Adam (played by Dwayne Johnson), who is chosen by the Egyptian Wizards to become Earth's champion. However, after Teth-Adam's wife and children are killed by evil forces, he turns his back on the Wizards and becomes a villain called Black Adam.
I went into this movie with modest expectations because of the negative online reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. While the acting was not universally great, Viola Davis was fantastic. Dwayne Johnson was good in his role but I've seen him in better performances. The action sequences were well done and the story was interesting. Overall, I thought this was a good movie and would recommend it to fans of superhero movies or comic book readers.
What I liked about "Black Adam" is that it's a story about a man who gains extraordinary abilities and must use them to protect his loved ones. This makes for a more relatable and sympathetic protagonist, which in turn makes for a more engaging story. Additionally, the action sequences in this movie are well done and exciting to watch. The CGI is also used effectively and doesn't look too fake or overdone.
What I didn't like as much about "Black Adam" is that some of the acting was quite bland. Aldis Hodge, in particular, seemed quite wooden in his Hawkman performance. Pierce Brosnan, generally a good actor, seemed out of place in this movie. Noah Centineo reminded me of a PG-rated Deadpool trying to be Ant-Man.
However, these are relatively minor complaints in an otherwise enjoyable film.
Overall, I thought "Black Adam" was a good movie worth watching. It's not perfect, but it's an entertaining entry into the superhero genre with some great action sequences. If you're a fan of comic books or superhero movies, then I think you'll enjoy this film. Thanks for reading!
Sneakerella (2022)
Good Family Fun Movie
This was a very good movie for the family. It wasn't full of profanity, sex or violence. Just a family feel good movie.
The plot was predictable but what do you expect when it's a different take on Cinderella? It definitely kept with the tradition of that story.
I highly recommend this movie!
Between the World and Me (2020)
Good adaptation from the boom
So timely. It was interesting to watch and compare the police response here to the police response to the white people that invaded the capitol building.
