Black Adam's Rotten Tomatoes Rating Is Looking Rough Ahead of Premiere
Kyle Anderson, Nerdist
"While a lot of Black Adam works, the whole can't escape the messiness of trying to add to---or jumpstart---a franchise rather than tell a good story."
prevnextCourtney Howard, Fresh Fiction
"Director Jaume Collet-Serra has crafted a solidly entertaining B-movie with smarts and skill, allowing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to flex his trademark muscular showmanship and combine that with character-driven appeal."
prevnextMark Kennedy, Associated Press
"Director Jaume Collet-Serra and the design team do a great job in every department but are let down by a derivative and baggy screenplay by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani that goes from one violent scene to another like a video game."
prevnextRoss Bonaime, Collider
"Black Adam might not be the hero the DCEU needs, but it's a welcome shift for this larger world and an invigorating look at the potential going forward in this universe."
Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)
"Whatever this new hierarchy of power is, it's confusing as hell."
prevnextAndrew J. Salazar, Geeks of Color
"Black Adam may not be one of the DCEU's best overall, but it successfully lays the groundwork for an exciting future."
prevnextEric Eisenberg, CinemaBlend
"Given the number of years this project was in development, and how it was promoted to shift the balance of power in the DC Universe, it's disappointing that the end result is so unremarkable."
