Black Adam (Jaume Collet-Serra, Oct 21, 2022) Movie • Page 3

Imagine spending $200 million on a movie for the post credits scene to be best part and the main selling point now.

 

When the tracking wasn't looking too great "leaking" the post-credits scene is a way to drive awareness. It helped out Venom 2

 

Mostly excited for this due to Johnson's enthusiasm for the character. It's so great to see a superhero film talked about as a passion project. With him being the one who talked execs into getting Cavill back it really does seem like he wants this to be a film for the fans. Really hope it does well.

 

ugh, 50% on RT, 45 on metacritic, probably gonna drop even more

 

Hahahaha oh boy

I mean, it means nothing really. But man, I kind of was hoping this would be good.

 

Zhao and Eternals flashbacks.

I’ll hold judgement until I watch it, but it’s also unpleasant to see a film with so much passion poured into end up being….eh.

 

I wish it didn't but the trailers make watching this feel like a chore

 

Never did I think this movie would actually be good, but do I think it will be fun? Yes. I'm seeing it tomorrow evening.

 

I might try to check this out next week if I have the time. Gonna go in with the lowest expectations possible though. I expect it to be on par with pretty much every other rock performance ever.

 

it'll be better than anything marvel the last few years besides spiderman

 

Yea, I dunno about that.

 

you don’t have to, I know.

 

Shang-Chi, my man

 

Shang-Chi and Werewolf by Night need to talk to you

 

I mean, Shang-Chi was good. Multiverse of Madness was good. I feel like I’ll like this more than Black Adam. But I don’t know.

No Way Home is good, but I think I hate Tom Holland now. Not totally his fault either. But between Sony giving him Uncharted where he is basically Peter Parker and all the god awful fan casts that his fans go for like every movie, I’m hoping I don’t see his face for a couple years.

 

Shang chi maybe, didn’t watch werewolf by night yet.

 

Werewolf was good. But I didn’t love it. I also don’t really have a context of comparing a, at this moment, unique special vs full length movies. So I don’t even know I would compare it’s enjoyment to Black Adam.

 

this is pretty bad other than some good moments. it felt like it ended two and a half times, and dwayne johnson is sleepwalking over half the movie. not surprised this is a dud, the premiere dceu films (last one theatrically being josstice league) never turn out as one would hope

and stay for the mid-credits if you must see this. you’ll never believe the shit that goes down

 

Man, what a boring movie. And they picked the wrong week to have a Kanye needle drop.

 

Just glad that Henry Cavill is officially back in the films. All thanks to Dwayne as well

 

Calling it “superhero soup” is pretty accurate.

 

I'm feeling like this is going to be paced and badly done in somewhat of a fashion that 2003 Hulk was with Eric Bana. It's just a gut feeling; like, not the same but there will be elements that will be reminiscent.

DC's superhero film-making is still crude and misdirected. WB is really hurting.
