In the middle of the DC Universe’s chaos, a new kind of savior appears. Black Adam isn’t your typical hero; he’s an antihero who stands firm and doesn’t apologize for his actions. While the script and characters have some rough spots, Dwayne Johnson’s strong performance, exciting action scenes, and the interesting JSA members come together to make a movie that’s more entertaining than expected. If you want pure action and excitement instead of deep storytelling, this film is a great choice.

After the first half hour, the film keeps you on edge with nonstop suspense. Still, the child character sometimes makes choices that feel off, which, even though it's a common storytelling trick, pulled me out of the moment. Occasionally, news reports cover riots or attacks involving corporate buildings and government officials. This film prompts viewers to consider what such chaos might be like firsthand. The depiction is grounded and unsettling, creating a strong sense of realism.

It was full of fantasy elements and a Harry Potter-like worldview that I enjoyed. It may be too young for children. I had an exciting and enjoyable time watching it without thinking about anything complicated.
