It certainly delivers on the action pretty much the whole runtime is non-stop over the top action. It's a lot of stupid fun but if you're looking for something logic and compelling this is not your movie. The dialogue is often cringe and the overuse of slow-motion sequences can be off putting. There's lots of comedy thrown in but it doesn't always land. The action sequences are mostly great but sometimes misplaced and the CGI has it's flaws.

The Rock did a good job at portraying a charismatic and layered Black Adam. He feels very much overpowered and unstoppable I have to say the thought of having him go up against Superman is exciting. Although i'm not convinced this was a good origin story/introduction. By the end of the movie i'm still not entirely sure who the man underneath the suit is at the core. I mean we got some flashbacks of 5000 years ago but he just lacks depth in the present. My favorite character was Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan) I hope we get more of him. Hawkman (Aldis Hodge) was a great addition. Cyclone and Atom Smasher add nothing to the story really.

It's quite surprising that in the same year WB gives us something as layered and serious as *The Batman* and *Black Adam*, a corny, cliché and very simple action flick. Not that they need to be compared It's ok to do something different but I was prepared for a certain level of quality that represents the company.

I was tolerating the sillyness of the movie until the last third of the movie it just got downhill with the main villain... A bit too much sillyness for me. That being said I probably would of loved it if I was a kid.
