Unimpressed. Ok movie at best. All the talk of groundbreaking and "paradigm of power shifting" and what not was just blather. The JSA is here, but without explaining who they are, it just comes off as a CW Legends of Tomorrow thing. In fact, I I'd say the JSA was just wasted here; they would've been better off just keeping Dr. Fate.
No explanation on how Hawkman now has super strength, to the degree where he can punch Black Adam through a building. No reason why Dr. Fate's powers can't defeat him, other than obvious plot armor. Of course, nerfing Dr. Fate pales to how Captain Marvel, now called Shazam, is treated in relation to Adam. Of course the movie isnt the same as the comic, but dang, they just ignored so much.
HBO has announced that Black Adam will be available for streaming on HBOMax starting on December 16, 2022.
I've been on the fence about seeing it. Everything I hear about it sounds pretty positive though.

Brosnan steals the show as Dr Fate I really hope he returns. Amanda Waller is better than the MCU Nick Fury. The jokes are typical for a superhero movie....and I'm not being complimentary. Johnson lapses in and out if being Teth Adam and Dwayne Johnson with his delivery of some jokes being very out of character for Black Adam. The highlight is the return of you know who as you know know who in the epilog scene during the credits. It got the best pop from the audience at the theater I saw it in. Shazam doesn't look greatas the next DCEU movie but the Flssh movie may be the next positive step for DCEU and its new owners. And as big as a Batman fan I am I'm glad DC us putting the focus back on Superman.
umm but the Flash movie is one & done now unless they get a new actor
Thought it was great. This was a comic book movie!
