Black Adam Ratings & Reviews
- ZokkiieMarch 18, 2026Second time watching this and I liked it more than the first. It’s a pretty fun ride if you’re just in the mood for something loud and easy. The action hits hard, there are some genuinely cool visuals, and Dwayne Johnson has a strong presence that carries most of it. Pierce Brosnan is also a standout and adds something a bit different, and the Justice Society crew is more entertaining than I remembered. That said, it never fully comes together. The one thing holding it back is a weak story—it feels kind of stitched together and predictable, which makes it hard to really care about what’s going on. Some of the humor also doesn’t quite land. Still, it’s got enough energy and spectacle to keep you entertained for a couple of hours. Just don’t expect anything deeper than that.
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025It’s rare that my wife anticipates a films release more than I do—especially when it’s a comic book movie. But The Rock has come in and upset that hierarchy in our household. Brief spoiler-free thoughts. Loved the JSA. Can see them green-lighting and fast-tracking a standalone JSA film and I would be all for it. Pierce Brosnan is fantastic as Dr. Fate. Honestly just love the sound of his voice, but in addition his character, powerset and overall performance almost steals the film. The Rock delivers as Black Adam. He’s charismatic as always, but actually pulls off the darker tone better than I had expected. The main villain is pretty lame and the final act suffers as a result, but I was surprised at how much I got invested in some of these characters and I’m fairly eager to see where this franchise could go next, which I wasn’t really expecting to say about this.
- Arthas MenethilSeptember 9, 2025The Movie that broke up Zack Snyder's DCEU, way to go, Rock. 🤣 A bit derivative at times and clichéd, but if you get past the Rock's ego and the silliness meant to be serious, it's not a bad movie with a bit of popcorn and some idle time, just not a lot of replay value, but entertaining nonetheless.
- jackmeatOctober 10, 2025My quick rating - 6.6/10. After all the hype, I just cannot say it lived up to it. This doesn't mean it is a bad flick. I actually enjoyed it. The action was on par, and the humor was good, but it seemed a bit forced at times. They used a nice set of lesser-known superheroes to support this one, and Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate was spot on. I hope that in the new restructuring of the DECU, they keep Dwayne Johnson in the title role since he did quite well, and the character does fit him. I suppose we shall see what their future holds. For a standalone, this had some nice effects to go along with well-devised action scenes to make a summer blockbuster-type flick. Not really much more to it than that.
