BlackAdam finally lets TheRock bring this murderous antihero to life in a welcome addition to the DCEU. Our review:
The DC Extended Universe has often struggled to find the right way to incorporate darkness into its films. The DCEU started a year after Christopher Nolan concluded his series of Batman films, and the attempts to bring a similar darkness to their properties have had mixed results. While this tone has worked when combined with humor, as with 2021’s The Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey, the DCEU can often feel weighed down with the weight of this darkness.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Yet despite constantly watching Teth-Adam throw his enemies to their deaths, putting grenades in their mouths, and generally committing mass murder wherever he goes, Black Adam maintains a lightness. Writers Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani manage to have Teth-Adam make shocking and violent choices, but in a way that never fully villainizes the character.
An excellent balance to Teth-Adam is the introduction of the Justice Society of America, which attempts to get the newly-released antihero to give up his powers and return to imprisonment. The JSA brings some much-needed lightness to this story, with characters like Hawkman , Atom Smasher , and Cyclone showing the frequently ineffectual nature of upstanding heroes, and playing off Black Adam well with their vastly different ways in dealing with enemies.
Still, Black Adam does fall prey to some of the same issues that have held back other superhero films. An extended introduction to the world of Kahndaq feels like a massive info dump, full of MacGuffins that will be important for this adventure, and even though the film’s villains and quite literally motivated by demons from hell, they’re fairly generic and forgettable.
