Black Adam
The search for an ancient crown made from Eternium accidentally unleashes a powerful demigod, Teth-Adam (Duane Johnson). Asleep for 5,000 years, he awakes confused in an unfamiliar world with armed soldiers attacking with weapons that he doesn’t understand. Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), & Adam Smasher (Noah Centineo), known as the Justice Society of America, are sent Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) to secure this potential danger. Lots of death & destruction ensues over an action-packed battle to win the crown & the power it can provide. Teth-Adam is an anti-hero who doesn’t follow the moral “no kill” code of the “good guys”. This is DC Comics latest challenge to their rival Marvel Cinematic Universe. Audiences get an origin story of a dark character, some new superheroes with special powers to dazzle on screen, & another all out battle between good & evil. A mid credit clip hints to squel with a classic matchup.
Alien gives it 3 “Kahndaq & Sabbac” stars out of 4.
