IGN rating: 5 points, mediocre

Despite trying to capture lightning in a bottle, Black Adam is never able to find its spark.

Summarize:

Black Adam is so overindulgent that it's hard to enjoy the DC antihero's debut. It's so filled with underdeveloped characters and so many repetitive action sequences that its half-baked argument for what it means to be a hero gets lost in all the noise. Despite its attempts to capture lightning in a bottle, Black Adam never finds its spark.

The live-action movie "Black Adam" recently received an average score of 45 points on MTC:

Filmmaker comments:

"Ultimately, the demands of the DC Universe are pitted against the overwhelming star power of Dwayne Johnson, and the film ends up losing a lot of the entertainment it could have had."

“Director Jaume Collet-Serra and the design team do a great job on every front, but are let down by a derivative and loose script by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani that lurches from one violent scene to the next like a video game.”
