Rating: 8 out of 10, I guess this has been a vanity project
for the Rock for a number of years and he’s certainly up to the part of a
thousands year old super hero awakened to face modern evil. They had a good, if
unbelievable story, but they decided to include some obscure (to me) other
superheroes who, with the exception of a former 007, were not up to the
competition. There were some very funny allusions to other superheroes, such as
“superheroes don’t kill people.” Which the Rock replies “I do”. They could have
done a lot more with that but sacrificed it for a more somber dive into mayhem
(as DC is wont to do). I still enjoyed the movie for what it was, a misplaced
summer blockbuster. Suspend all belief, ye who enters here and the Rock is
always a lot of fun. Much better on a second watch moves right along.
MVP: Dwayne
Johnson as Teth-Adam / Black Adam, cool and dangerous
