It’s been a long wait — nearly a decade, in fact — since Dwayne Johnson first signed on to become an integral part of the DC universe. He’s recently turned 50 (not that he looks it). But now, at la…
This is a gigantic, $200 million sci-fi extravaganza that likely features a higher percentage of screen time devoted strictly to massive action and effects over dialogue than any of its comics-derived predecessors. Given the quality of the dialogue here, this is all to the good, but it certainly won’t deter the devoted fanboys who have been waiting a long time for this one.
The long and the short of it is that former bad boy superhero Black Adam was subdued 5000 years ago for being a mischievous troublemaker but has now managed to re-emerge with no noticeable deterioration of his splendid musculature. However, what has fallen on hard times is the formerly magnificent ancient kingdom of Kahndaq, which now resembles the worst parts of Sao Paulo or Mexico City.
And it only accelerates as things progress, if that is the right word. Scarcely do two or three minutes go by without some outsized event taking place, the meaning and importance of which, more often than not, will be quite inscrutable to those not deeply versed in the doings of these particular DC characters. All that’s left is to anticipate and behold the spectacle, which is indisputably epic in scale.
The film’s dramatic shortcomings would seem at least partly attributable to the equivocal natures of some of the important characters. As noted, Black Adam was born a bad guy, one who’s now been modified into more of a loner type somewhat along the lines of Clint Eastwood’s character in thefilms — he picks his spots, goes his own way and plays his cards as he sees fit. He still seems capable of treachery, but has adjusted his ways and will do what needs to be done as circumstances dictate.
