Black Adam Movie Review: Dwayne Johnson Powers Up in a Gripping Superhero Origin Story
As one of the most anticipated superhero movies of the year, Black Adam has finally hit theaters, and fans of DC comics have been eager to see how the film brings to life one of the most complex and morally ambiguous characters in the DC universe. Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the titular antihero, Black Adam tells the story of a once-mighty Egyptian prince who gains the power of the gods and seeks vengeance against those who wronged him. The movie opens with a powerful prologue that sets the stage for the rest of the film. We see the origin story of Black Adam, a man who was once revered as a god in ancient Egypt but was betrayed by his own people and forced to spend centuries imprisoned in a tomb. When he is finally freed in the present day, Black Adam is determined to seek revenge against those who wronged him, even if it means destroying the world in the process. The film's story is well-constructed and effectively builds up to its climactic battle scenes. Jo
