Black Adam Roasted By DC Movie Fans For Bad Writing

With Dwayne Johnson’s DC debut in theaters, Black Adam’s reactions to The Rock’s film are burning for its poor writing and terrible dialogue.


As Dwayne Johnson’s DC debut hits theaters, Black Adam many comments ruin the film’s seemingly poor writing style. The DC Extended Universe movie primarily provides an origin story for the titular antihero, once a slave to Khandaq who was given powers by the ancient sorcerer Shazam and was imprisoned for thousands of years for abusing those powers. Once Black Adam is released into the modern world, his barbaric behavior quickly attracts the attention of the Justice Society of America who are trying to reform him. Black Adam was directed by Jungle Cruise‘s Jaume Collett-Serra and written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani.

What the public really thinks about Black Adam

Contrary to the critical reactions, the general public reacts very positively to Black Adamwith an 88% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and impressive audience ratings also on IMDb and Metacritic. Black Adam also got off to a strong start at the box office on Thursday with $7.6 million in preview screenings, signaling a lot of excitement for The Rock’s DC debut and Black Adam‘s post-credits cameo.

Overall, Black Adam appears to be a bit divided. This is hardly a first for a DCEU movie, because Man of Steel, suicide squad, Batman vs Superman, and 2017 Justice League all caused huge rifts between the critical community and various factions of the fanbase. With superhero blockbusters focusing on so much action, expensive special effects, and franchise building, the writing and dialogue often falls by the wayside.
