Black Adam [DVD] [2022]

CLASSIC DC FILM FROM DC STUDIOS

Quality

Black Adam on Blu-ray delivers a visually stunning and action-packed experience, showcasing Dwayne Johnson as the titular antihero in a way that feels fresh and dynamic. The film does an excellent job of exploring Black Adam's morally complex character while blending intense battles with moments of humor and heart. The Blu-ray quality is top-notch, with crisp visuals and impressive sound that immerse you in every electrifying moment. The action sequences, particularly those involving the Justice Society of America, are spectacularly choreographed and a joy to watch in high definition. What I appreciated most is how the movie brings a new layer of depth to the DC Universe. The storyline balances explosive set pieces with intriguing lore, making it enjoyable for both casual viewers and die-hard fans. The special features included on the Blu-ray, such as behind-the-scenes footage and cast interviews, add significant value for anyone curious about the filmmaking process. While the plot is straightforward and occasionally predictable, the movie's high-energy execution and strong performances more than make up for it. If you're a fan of superhero movies or just looking for a fun, action-packed film, Black Adam is worth adding to your collection.

it comes in perfect condition

If you like these kind of movies then I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie too. It follows the usual structure for superhero movies - however the main character is not really a super-hero as he doesn't feel the need to preserve life. I found the movie quite enjoyable, as did my wife, however she pointed out that if she didn't have me to tell her about the 4 members of The Justice Society of America she would have been totally confused, as very little background is given in the movie. This is one of the big problems with the movie, and it could, and should, have been changed before release. The conclusion of the movie leaves everything set up for a second Black Adam movie, especially after the post credit scene - however it turn out that this isn't going to happen. Warner Brothers have employed James Gunn and Peter Safran to take charge of all DC movies and these new DC bosses have announced that they have decided to reboot all the main DC characters and they will be at younger ages than their recent portrayal in DC movies. This reboot means that it could be argued that watching this particular movie is a bit of a waste of time as there will be no continuation of the main character following the movie's conclusion - I doubt that most people would want to watch it as a stand alone story. Indeed some people may also regard watching the forthcoming Flash and Aquaman 2 movies as rather pointless as well. DC seem to have shot themselves in the foot by announcing their future plans before releasing these movies.

This was just what I was looking for. Excellent quality, condition and appearance. This is definitely excellent value for money. I am very happy with my purchase ☺️.

A fantastoc addition to the collection

A new DC comics movie. Which tangenitally ties into the film 'Shazam!'. But you could get into this without having watched that. This was a passion project for Dwayne Johnson. Taking a DC character he long wanted to play, and bringing him to the screen. Long ago in the middle eastern country of Kahndaq, a tyrannical king wanted a very powerful metal. His people were enslaved. But a champion, the saviour of the country arose. Things then happened. Flash forward to the present day, and the country is under the control of criminal syndicate Intergang. Who are after a legendary and powerful artefact. Some of the locals are questing for it as well, to free the country. All of which results in the saviour's return. He has a lot to get used to. His style of justice doesn't go well with the modern world. But greater danger might lurk.... This is one of those films you'll either get into because you just go with it and don't fuss about little details. Or you'll go with the internet and not like it at all. It is a packed film. We have the events in Kahndaq. Where Adam, the returned saviour, has to adjust to modern life. He does have a boy to help him out with that. Then there's heroes from the Justice Society who have been sent in to deal with him. Other plot lines are lurking as well. So the script could have probably used another edit or two. Dwayne Johnson is quite good, playing an anti hero, and shows well how Adam gradually adjusts to things. the heroes of the Justice Society all have potential, but get precious little screen to show it. And you can see an attempt at a running gag that gets quickly forgotten about. Pierce Brosnan and Aldis Hodge as Dr Fate and Hawkman, two veteran warriors with the weight of the world on their shoulders, are a particular highlight. You do wish you could get more of the pair. Editing wise it does make some choices, also a lot of slow motion, that will be a matter of opinion. There are plot developments. I didn't see some of these coming. They ones that you will or won't spot from the off. I thought it handled these quite well. It does tick all the boxes for an origin movie, and it gets them in okay. It does have an interesting moral core as well. Which offers good food for thought. And frankly, it was nice to see something that was just a little bit different to the Marvel comics Movie model. So your reaction to this might depend on if you think those are getting over familiar or not. There are a few things that will delight those who know their dc comics continuity. And some welcome cameos. Blink and you will miss one. But see the cast list. [Not talking about the end credits scene! More on that in a moment!]. Not a perfect film. But not a bad watch. There is one end credits scene. Which comes in the middle. Which got spoilered so you might know it anyway. And real world events mean it won't end up going anywhere. But it was nice to see it anyway. The dc goes straight into the main menu with no ads or trailers once loaded. There are no extras. Language and subtitle options: Languages: English, Castilian Spanish. Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish. Parents do note it's a twelve certificate, as it is a bit more violent than Marvel movies. To put it mildly.
