Black Adam (film review of this DC Comics superhero movie).

C.D. is here, and he reckons that it turns out that new DC superhero film Black Adam was really very good… in a way. Who would’ve guessed?

Could Black Adam finally be the turning point for both the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), which has been trying to find a way forward for a long while?

DC Comics’ Black Adam is the eleventh instalment in the DCEU and is a spin-off of New Line Cinema and DC Films’ Shazam! (from 2019).

The film stars Dwayne Johnson (who also served as a producer) as the title character, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell, Bodhi Sabongui, and Pierce Brosnan, and was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra from a script by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani.
