Ratings and reviews

Movie was okay, but the Rock just isn't a good actor even in a CG ridden film. The only enjoyable part of the film was Dr. Fate and Hawkman. The other characters are quite useless. Further when dealing with such a powerful superhero such as Black Adam, you need a formidable foe. The main antagonist in this film isn't the the super villain, but Adam himself, which can be fine if the story was written well enough. However, that isn't the case.

IMO B.A. is just barely over 3 stars so I'll give it a 3.3. The previews were better than the movie; per the previews, I was anticipating the movie to be better than it was. The ending with Sup and B.A. obviously leads to a duh sequel where Sup puts B.A. in his place cause we all know in the end Sup kicks everyone's azz.

Imaginary country with cars in the 60s while the heroes have high tech gear and jet. Low budget? And the fight scenes are more or less TV standards. The flow of the story is also off balance.
