MOVIE REVIEW: The Rock joins the DC universe as the shadowy version of Superman in BlackAdam.
. We should have appreciated how good we had it, as a once admirably proficient genre craftsman has seemingly gone the way of becoming a glorified studio representative. I can hardly think of a single moment in here with real visual flair or interesting idea. There’s the occasional Zack Snyder-style slo-mo action shot, but incorporated into a film that doesn’t share the same fascinating, near-religious reverence of superheroes as that particular director.
The story and plotting are hanging on by the barest of threads as well. The script by Adam Sztykiel, Sohrab Noshirvani, and Rory Haines flies at supersonic speed, rushing through plot developments like it’s nothing. After an egregious voice-over origin story about the titular Adam, it’s not long until we’re introduced to the man himself as he ultimately has to help mother and son Andrianna and Amon from the occupation of their city Kahndaq from the Intergang organization.
