Black Adam (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)

Really fun movie for DC fans

Great movie enjoy my purpose

I had a blast watching this. It was a fun popcorn movie. It establishes Adam’s character. The origin was interesting because I didn’t know a lot about the character. Dwayne’s take is far from campy. In fact, campy is not in his vocabulary. Which I’m glad for, because I don’t like campy movies. So there’s a lot of action and the plot is very simple to follow. The cameo at the end was fantastic. Having said all of that… there was something missing. The villain wasn’t a worthy bad guy. Adam was so powerful that we all knew he was going to win. There really weren’t any major stakes. The other good guys weren’t interesting. FATE, however… was very compelling. I want a movie with him. I know Dwayne wanted the next film to be Adam vs. Superman, and with Cavell… THAT would have been epic. That should have been this movie, in fact. So it’s worth checking out. A solid popcorn movie. Phenomenal effects. Just not as good storywise as it could’ve been.

Great action movie. Good Dwayne Johnson humor. Has a great story, easy to follow. Great movie. Definitely recommend.

It was almost like DJ didn't quite fit the role. I believe it should have had Captain Marvel in it to put it over the top.

Getting caught in the DC crossfire and fight over the future of their franchise characters left "Black Adam" kind of in the lurch; while it did well at the box office, it didn't do as well as was expected. As a result, it's unlikely we'll see a sequel (and we know that, no matter what, Henry Cavill won't be in one--that time has passed unfortunately. Hate "Man of Steel" or love it, Cavill was perfectly cast in the films he made. It's a pity that James Gunn just can't see past his own plans to include Cavill in a wrap up for the saga started by Zach Snyder). That's too bad because The Rock is well cast as the title character and bringing in second string DC characters that haven't had a movie was a smart idea allowing them to develop some of these secondary characters as well. Black Adam has the powers of Shazam from the same mystic source. When he is awakened after being buried alive by archeologists looking for the crown of Sabbac, he awakens to a world he doesn't recognize or understand. He does, however, understand bad guys and proceeds to womp a group of them trying to kill the archeologist how has been trying to discover the final hiding place of the crown. The Justice Society led by Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone is called in by Amanda Waller to prevent Black Adam from doing more damage to the ancient city of Kahndaq. The film is a lot of fun. Is it earthshattering entertainment that will change your worldview? Nope. It is nice, however, to see another culture and the hero that protected them examined for a change. Having seen Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate (who is like Marvel's Doctor Strange a little bit or rather the other way around since Fate's character existed in the late 40's) and Aldis Hodge as Hawkman was a lot of fun; these two less well-known characters often get overlooked (unless you're following a series like "Titans" or "Legends of Tomorrow" most recently). It was fun seeing some characters other than the main DCU characters of The Flash, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman get screen time. The 4K is exceptional. You can see all the money on the screen. It's a top notch transfer and truly brings the film to life on the home screen. The same with the blu-ray (included with the 4K) which may be a notch below the 4K but has some good qualities as well. The 7.1 Atmos mix is very active (as is to be expected) and dialogue is clear. English subtitles are provided. The special features are limited to the Blu-ray with "The History of Black Adam", "Who Is The Justice Society?", "Black Adam: A New Type of Action Hero", "Costumes Make The Hero" are among the excellent featurettes included. I haven't been able to dig into all of the special features as of yet but they are all, so far, very very good. "Black Adam" promised a new anti-hero to the DCU and The Rock is perfectly cast. My only complaint is that the script could and should have done a bit more character development for the secondary super heroes that end up fighting and then, eventually, banding together with Black Adam.

It arrived on time and worth the price

It is Awesome. You must buy it and have fun.

Awesome 4k uhd bluray quality and marvellous service by Games.stores

genial merci

Excelente precio para mi colección de DC y lo mejor incluía su slipcover

DVDはリージョン違いで見られなかった。 ブルーレイは見れたが、日本語字幕・日本語音声ともなかった。 商品説明にもそう言う記載は全く書かれておらず、不誠実さしか感じない。 それに他のブラックアダムと比べても値段が高いのは意味が分からない。 せっかく買ったのにGWに楽しめなかった。 返品に手間も掛かるし絶対に買わない事をお勧めする。

Good
