The first screenings for Black Adam took place yesterday evening, and that means we have social media reactions. As always, it's best to take these with a pinch of salt until full reviews are published, but the response is definitely a little more mixed than we're used to from these hot takes.
For the most part, those who have watched the movie clearly appreciate what Dwayne Johnson brings to the table as the anti-hero, while it sounds like those JSA heroes are a worthy addition to the DCEU.
In terms of action and spectacle, Black Adam definitely doesn't disappoint if what we read here is any indication, news we're sure will be welcomed by many of you. However, where the DC Comics adaptation seemingly stumbles is with its plot. That's not receiving the same level of praise, while the movie's big bad looks to be similarly underwhelming.
There are comparisons to the SnyderVerse and high praise for what sounds like a memorable mid-credits scene, but Black Adam may not be the game-changer for the DCEU we expected.
Overall, it should be a fun ride, but we're definitely intrigued to see how this one fares on Rotten Tomatoes...
