I watched Black Adam this weekend and came in with low expectations due to the reviews I’d seen. I should have remembered my old rule concerning the critics. If they hate it, I will probably like it. In this case, Black Adam came in like Elvis and entertained me like few movies have in the last few years. Is it perfect? No. But every character had a chance to shine, Doctor Fate seriously chewed up the scenery in a good way, and Black Adam had both moments of pure awesome and deep tragedy. Being entertained is all I ask of a movie, and Black Adam nailed the landing. I hope the actors had as much fun making the movie as it looked like they did in the finished product, and I certainly enjoyed watching it as much as the Aquaman and Spider Man films. If this is representative of the kind of finished films the new leadership of DC will be putting out in the future, a new challenger in the superhero films market has truly entered the ring. My verdict? Two lightnings bolts, way up.
