IS BLACK ADAM WORTH WATCHING?

          

Black Adam offers us exactly what it promises, unbridled action, loaded with good humor, a generic film that fulfills its function, although it does not manage an adequate balance of its accessories, almost overloads the content, due to a cumbersome structure that hinders development and publication. depth, however, it is very entertaining.

          

I liked the imposing presence of Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam, what works against it is that he performs a very inanimate performance, although we are told that this is part of the character's qualities, being quite flat and with little dialogue, it is correct for this film where what interests us the most is the action spectacle, but these very static and flat characteristics affect him in an environment where he is not surrounded by charismatic characters.

What is the Weakness of Black Adam?  

        

I thought the participation of all the secondary heroes was brilliant, each one is great, in a short time they reflect an attractive and very distinctive personality in each one, providing a good dynamic with the protagonist of the film, with a humor that in my opinion was very cash and spectacular action scenes between Black Adam and the team members.

          

The action in general is manifested on a large scale, I was mainly fascinated by a sequence involving Hawkman and Black Adam, where they do a splendid job in the coordination between sound and images, however, at times it can feel like a video game, contains a lot of spectacularity but the little impact, due to the consistent and excessive saturation of its execution, putting the explosion ahead and not introspection.

         

The audiovisual section is extraordinary, with minimal moments of lower quality than others, as is usual in any film that requires so much digital work. The direction gives it greatness and at the same time partially hinders the project, it has an excessive amount of Slow Motion scenes and other unnecessary moments, it also contains fantastic sequences. The script, the balance, and the development is not the forte of this film, but it is a guaranteed ticket toward entertainment and fun.
