Even the rock-solid charisma of Dwayne Johnson rolls off a cliff with this noisy and disappointingly boring load of CGI-laden superhero tosh. A DCU fail.

There’s something morally deadening and aesthetically depressing about the bottomless toy chest of C.G.I. being reduced to the toolbox of cinematic bureaucracy.

Black Adam is mostly a movie made up of strictly baseline ideas, or the regurgitation of already existing ones.

The titular Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson) makes an impressionable debut as an all-powerful anti-hero, but the film itself is a weak entry in the DC Cinematic Universe.
